If you're in a good theatre chain they should give you a free ticket for
another show. We we watching In Her Shoes last weekend, the image started
flicking up and down on the screen for about 3-4 minutes. They stopped it,
fixed it and an usher came through the theater giving every patron a free
pass to see the next movie.
If you are an appreciable distance into the show, it wouldn't be feasible to
start it over if there is some technical difficulty. As far as dim bulbs
go, I've never felt I was in a theatre that was doing that.
BTW, I highly recommend AMC. At least in Atlanta, their theatres are
head-and-shoulders above any other chain in all aspects, including precise
sound and bright images.
