Tron Legacy...
I'm not going to give away any content or plot twists to the movie.
Very much liked the Visuals and the Music.
Found it very strange that they used \"Knock on the Sky\" when they meant \"Pray\" or \"Meditate\".
- Guess it yet another attempt to be \"Politically Corrupt\" er \"Politically Correct\".
I was rather confused by the way they masked Tron for the majority of the Movie until almost the very end.
They grab your attention from the first moment until the very end.
Overall a pretty decent Science Fiction Movie.

Watched the Original Tron Movie before and after seeing Tron Legacy in iMax 3D.

I could see them making a Tron 3 in a few years... but this was probably the final chapter in the Tron movie series at only 2 movies.

Moreso than Avatar? Pahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-ah! No. They created an entire forest. They just made a bunch of buildings using basic shapes, angles, and fancy blue and orange lights in Tron.
BUT! The critics are bastardly liars who were bribed by CLU. IT WAS AWESOME! Graphics were good, D3 was awesome, actors were great! I just wish that they spent a little more time on the game grid.
I need to see the old movie. I cannot find it. Not even Netflix has it (wtf). I remember back in the day when cartoon shows had referances to it. I think they had a Dexter's Lab dedicated to it with the light cycles and MCP.

Avatar basically makes me want to puke - the whole visual overload hyper-detailed CG style has already been done to death and is basically redundant by now. I'm tired of movies that look like big-budged FPS games.
Tron, on the other hand, looks interesting because they use all that technology in an artistic rather than realistic way - personally I find the stylized use of CG technology (like this and Pixar films - The Incredibles, Ratatouille, etc.)far more visually captivating than trying to make ridiculous stuff seem real.

Re:
Amen brother. Avatar is a turd with $400 million dollars of polish. There is a real problem with blockbusters that have had so much money spent on production that they couldn't be allowed to fail and so they get the most pathetic shallow characters and feel-good plot unimaginable.Firewheel wrote:Avatar basically makes me want to puke
Re:
I believe many songs on the soundtrack are done by Daft Punk. So it is likely that it really was them in the film.Flatlander wrote:I thought the DJs were Daft Punk.Alter-Fox wrote:The DJs were wearing helmets exactly like Daft Punk.
By the way, check out the Tron: Evolution game. It is a prequel story before this movie and after the original movie. The reviews on the game that I have seen were not kind to it but I am really enjoying the game.
Why doesn't it work?

Re:
Disagree 100%. it takes a plot to be a great movie, there was no plot, infact it was so thin in its plot that Jeff Bridges almost declined to be in the movie. they didnt even connect the Dillinger name to the first movie WTF???CDN_Merlin wrote:TRON Legacy was a great movie.
Legacy was an above average special effects movie at best.

It may not have been the best movie but it was entertaining and fun to watch. That's all a movie has to be.
Even movies with good plots can be terrible movies. Plot isn't the be all and end all of movie making. Look at \"The Killer Inside Me\" that was released this past year. Great plot and even great acting by Casey Afflek but terribly executed. There were many scenes in that movie that just make you sick. There are better ways to get the hint across than actually showing him mollesting a little girl and beating women to pulp.
Plot may not have been the high point of Tron, but I think the visuals and fantasy of it all made up for it quite nicely. I would definately buy Tron Legacy and watch it many times. I will NEVER watch The Killer Inside Me ever again.
