EPIC FAIL

There would be a Transformers: Dark of the Moon review here, but unfortunately I didn't get to see it today.

I had pre-purchased tickets to watch Transformers in 3D at Cathay Cineplexes at The Curve today. We got there a wee bit late but we made it while the trailers were still playing. We got our 3D glasses and sat down. There were audio issues. The Captain America trailer (which looked pretty good) had no sound but instead had the filler music track they use in between movies. Then they tried to play the movie... with no sound.

They tried again.

Darkness. Picture. Silence.

And again.

More darkness. Silent film.

And again.

Then they rebooted the projector.

And still no audio.

Then they turned on the lights and announced that the projector was broken and they were cancelling the show. Refunds were to be given at the counters :(

In all my years of watching movies - quite a few of them at this very cinema - never has a show been cancelled. They didn't even have the sense to offer additional compensation for the inconvenience.

So to Cathay Cineplexes at The Curve, I say to thee: EPIC FAIL
