    Audio Described
    Audio description (a narrated soundtrack) enables people with a visual impairment to enjoy movies at the cinema, ask Box Office for Your headset and you will be able to listen to an additional audio commentary that describe what is happening on screen.

    Ok, so it only goes through the headset, I'll be able to enjoy the movie, as normal?

    Yep. Audio description only comes through the headsets that are provided by either the Box Office or the Projectionists, depending on whoever is in charge of them in the cinema itself. Essentially you get the movie in through one ear and someone narrating it in through the other. As far as I remember, some pretty famous people have done the narrations! Usually in the cinema I worked in, it was AD/ST, meaning there were subtitles on the screen as well, so if you have a problem with that, you should check with the Box Office to make sure first.
