        If it was an accident I'd probably just keep quiet to avoid a conflict, if they were doing it purposely though I'd probably give them a bit of a serve and/or move lol

            Same as on an airplane! Please stop, as it's triggering my anxiety.

              Just ask them politely to stop kicking my seat and if that fails just move to a different seat if available.

                  Get up and go get the manager and let him or her handle it and they might give you a free movie for next time or move to a different seat but go get the manager first.

                    Easiest to move as you never know how they will react but I have asked politely in the past and it generally is 50/50 if they stop.

                      the last time i was at a movie the guy behind me was a homer simpson, farted, burped, slurped and crunched, his way through the previews then i was told you could buy the movie on prime for 28 dollars so we left as others did, haven't been back since, we bought a big blow up screen and buy movies and watch with family and friends , when we want to see a movie

                        Sounds ideal! Saves time, saves fuel, munchies cost less and pause to have a "wee break" and stretch the legs in comfort.

                      I would politely ask them to stop. If they persist, I'd speak to a cinema attendant

                        I would ask them nicely to stop. If they keep on doing it, I would go & get a seat behind them & do the same thing to them.

                          I EXPERIENCED THIS ONCE AND I TURNED RIGHT AROUND AND ASKED THE PERSON IF THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FEET AND THAT WAS THAT. I WAS ABLE TO ENJOY THE REST OF THE MOVIE. 😉😉😉

                                      I just move seats, they may be too tall for the space, or suffer from tourettes syndrome, cut them some slack!

                                        Stand up face the person and shout at the top of your voice STOP they won't expect this reaction and everyone will be looking at them they will try to leave before movie ends .

                                            You should go to the movies with a partner or a group of friends, I received 1 lonely point for my answer. I'd turn around and politely ask them to stop what they are doing as it's childish. In the Movies here seats are actually a fair way back and are super comfortable so for them to actually kick the seat in front takes a bit of effort from their part to achieve. Movie places can be smarter with their seat design to limit this behaviour from happening. Used to happen heaps in the old style design where you were crammed in like sardines. :D

                                              This has never happened to me. We seldom go to movies when they are crowded so this will probably never happen.

                                                  5 points for Move seats if any available. I very rarely go to the movies even though there is a Hoyts multiscreen theatre across the road from me at Warringah Mall.

The rest will be in the hands of the perpetrator. From there only 1 of 2 things can happenYou get my drift

It felt very embarasing when I didn't realise I had been harrasing them for so long. So maybe I would do the same. Although I don't think I could be that fuious my self. Now I don't think Neo's are going to be programed to kick seats, but you can certainly program them to ask those turning around to move to another seat.
