What a fantastic event, visually, musically, emotionally 50 years on and as fresh as its original - loved it.

I can’t remember when I last listened to the whole of this album (I know, I know) but this was really enjoyable. Felt like I was spinning through space and did have to close my eyes a couple of times but it was really great and the music is superb. A bit off the beaten track but worth the trip.

What an amazing experience! The music of Pink Floyd is legendary and DSOTM is the best of the best (along with Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall!), it contains timeless music that continues to shine 50 years on! The sound in the planetarium was incredible and gave a unique listening experience, along with the brilliant graphics (some of which could do with updating) that totally send the viewer to the planets and beyond into psychedelic wonder... 5☆

Not good if you have had a few to drink because of the motion sickness, I hadn’t but in some parts of the visual I had to close my eyes so as I didn’t feel sick. Using great but the visuals need updating, other people I was with loved it but they are massive Pink Floyd fans. I also thought a bit expensive compared to other shows.

I could have listened to the whole thing with just the opening images of the stars rushing by, but then we head through the asteroid belts around Jupiter and pass by our Earth spinning in the infinite. But so much more to marvel at here.

Entertaining and for those of us of a certain age..the album is a classic.
It's far from cheap though.
Worth a watch...especially for those who are stoned (we, unfortunately were not !)

A cosy seat, an album more than groundbreaking, a band that created sounds that will live on and on, images that will resonate in you, your girl next to you and a drink to top it off! Yes! You will see the dark side of the moon

Wonderful! Who needs weed when you have a glass of wine, graphics on a vast scale, and crystal clear sound on one of the great 70s albums. Memorable night.

It's ok but overall disappointing and over-priced. You get to see 4 planets with periods of geometric shapes which although relate to the period of the music played, have no relation to the solar system. The graphics of the planets seem a little old and needs bringing up to modern CGI standards

⬇️LAST YEAR'S REVIEW⬇️

★★★★☆

THE GOOD
* Amazing music track, as expected.
* Incredibly immersive planetarium screen.
* Cosmic & psychedelic visuals perfectly matched the album's mood.

THE NOT SO GOOD
* Great sound quality but could be louder for full immersion.
* The visuals for some songs lack identity and an overarching story.
* Craved for higher resolution renders.

Best enjoyed if you are already a fan of Pink Floyd!
