Last night my wife and I attended a concert by the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Mann Center at which the orchestra performed the score to accompany the film Star Trek: Into Darkness shown on a large screen above the orchestra.
Really cool event. The performance was so accurate that you would completely forget that there was a full orchestra going at full tilt just a few feet under the screen. There was probably one of the largest percussion setups I have ever seen for any symphony performance.
Not the strongest film of the Star Trek franchise, but having the score performed live made for a really fun evening.
