Disappointment at The Cathay

Disappointment with a capital D while watching The Sorcerer's Apprentice at The Cathay. We were barely seated when the show started, and that was when only 50% of the theatre was filled and people were still pouring in. There were no screening of trailers as well. Not only that, the lights remained on while they screened the movie at the wrong aspects ratio, cutting out Walt Disney's name. I could not even see the names of the people involved in this movie. At this point of time, the projectionist decided to fiddle with the project, blacking out the show and killing the plot. Of course that won the crowds' approval of boos and vulgarities. When the screen became a trapezoid did I realise that they have to manually open the curtains. What a joke for Cathay being THX certified and premier theatre.
