"When I first thought about a movie playing synchronised with a live band, I expected it to be an interesting experience but not an enjoyable one. I was wrong. Once the music started playing and the film got going, I found it to be extremely immersive. The volume of the soundtrack never overpowered the audio of the actual film and if it ever did subtitles would be there in case. Overall the film was very entertaining. Seeing it on the big screen was incredible. Even the conductor seemed to be enjoying it. Because the audience certainly was! There was a wide array of Labyrinth merchandise dotted across the auditorium. Someone was even wearing a David-Bowie-style wig, which gave me a good chuckle"
