Very, very well. Apart from the bluescreen looking predictably dated with colors not matching and the very small amount of rotoscoping it looks like it could have been filmed much more recently, and the commitment to using almost all authentic-looking/sounding actors and grounded, naturalistic sets means nothing looks really out of date and funky like most 80s fantasy flicks.
