It has neither humongous oil rigs nor projections on a castle never meant to be a projection surface. So it has that going for it right out of the backstage area.
We shall see. Hopefully.

Well, your enjoyment of the show really depends on if you like the music and the music selection. If projections are the main problem for you than it won't be that bad.
Any possible changes are a way off.
The pyro design on that is rough IMO, nowhere near as effective as Eric Tucker's design for MK Wishes.

I agree, this it even Wishes without the "shooting star" shot?'

Had the opportunity to (sorta) see Luminous for the first time last Friday 8/30. Wasn't able to go to Epcot during our quick 2-day WDW trip last weekend (we opted for MK & HS), but was able to watch it from the bridge between International Gateway and the Boardwalk on our arrival day on Friday.
I had the soundtrack queued up on my phone, so was listening to it with my earbuds during the duration of the show.
Majority of the extra pyro added back in June is mostly gone now. The last 20 secs of the show still has the extra shells, thankfully.
Will be able to finally see the show actually inside the park when I'm back next month, so can't wait for that!
But first thoughts are that I love the finale even more in-person, even from afar. The music, pyro, lights, lasers, etc. work together so beautifully.

Thank you execs then! Though, I wonder, why did they green light it in the first place?

It was not designed to be left out in the open
That makes more sense. For me harmonious falls in the same category as starcruiser: I still think they suck, but I admire the fact they were tryna swing for the fences and be ambitious.

IIRC, the Harmonious centerpiece barge was also originally envisioned as having rotating sections akin to an orrery or armillary globe, which would have mitigated the many dining venue sightline issues created by the bi-directional water screen.

IKR Paris is amazing! You'd think Tokyo supposed to be the best but Paris is something else!

They can do this in Paris but not Epcot
Interesting choice to use music from one of the videos played in the immigration halls at most US airports, except Orlando ironically, in this...

Is it just me or did it sound like they re-recorded the Illuminations soundtrack in the Paris video?

Not sure if it was re-recorded or remixed but the 1st half is in a different key compared to the OG.

THAT Was Stunning!!!!!! That whole Tag was around 2min, 20sec..... No excuse not to do that right after Luminous to honor the longest running WSL Show!
I believe TDO now has DLRP's last Entertainment Director? IDK if that person is on Starlight's Team since Paris hasn't had an Electric Parade(Fanti) since Summer 2012.......
ROE plays in Immigration Halls???????

Sometimes I really do think Iger is trolling Florida/WDW.
I really do miss Illuminations.
