Third time viewing and my best experience yet. A real treat to see this at my city's best venue. That colour palette and full frame compliments the giant screen and the Dolby ATMOS sound system makes the songs all the more magical.

When you watch that opening scene, you prepare for pure bliss. Then perfection hits at the observatory scene. And when that closing scene finishes, you finally realize that you have completely given yourself over to such a wonderful film.
