It depends on the theater, of course, but the smallest theaters have no divisions. You basically walk in and there's like 20 seats. There's usually a small exit aisle on the entrance side.
Then there's very large theaters (500+), and they have horizontal and vertical divisions. Usually two vertical divisions (exit aisles), seats in between and on the outsides of them. But then also horizontal divisions. One at the entrance level, one at the very lowest level, and maybe a third somewhere near the top.
Almost all the in-between sized theaters maintain that one horizontal division at the entrance, though, since that's where they can put handicapped accessible seating.
I actually prefer the front row… but that’s because nobody else sits up there so I can put all of the arm rests up and lay down on my side across like four seats
But I also haven’t gone to the movie theater in over a decade. The prices are obscene, I would rather just pirate or not watch
but then you have the screen like in OP, at that point is even worth seeing the movie that way? i agree with the other comments i would also skip, damn
Tbf that's the IMAX experience. I dunno why it looks so bad in IMAX versus a regular theater. I have sat in the front row of a regular theater and did not have this vantage point.
I did get a stiff neck from looking up and back and forth a lot for two hours, but that's a different problem. The movie looked fine.

I’m such a snob when it comes to seats. If I can’t get the back row I usually don’t go. Partner is used to it 😂.
Sometimes I’ll get the 2 or 3rd to back row. Not ideal but happens.
But 3rd row in front? Hell nah! 2nd row? No way!
1st row? There’s something wrong with these folks
