First of all, I do use reclining chairs. Most people rave about the awesome reclining chairs. I, however, am not a big fan. I don't use reclining chairs at home. I don't like the seats because you are much further away from the person next to you. I am a talker, so I prefer to talk during the movies. I don't like to be rude and talk loudly. It's more difficult to talk to someone when are further away.
