    Tron Legacy

    I swear to God there was a tron thread but after searching like 3+ pages I can't find it lol.

    But yeah, this movie looks super sick, it's supposed to be a sequel I think to the original tron, this time the main character's son goes into the crazy virtual world, the same one that his dad entered into over 20 years ago.

    Not only do the trailers look sick, Daft ****ing Punk is going to be doing the music to this movie! ANDDD they're gonna be in it as well! Sounds like this is going to be like the RL version of Interstellar 5555, which sounds epic as all hell.

    Here's new music from them/a movie trailer.

Then again this one is kind of on the outs with me if she doesn't straighten up and fly right so that means I will be back in it for the thrill of the kill. Got some in the reserves. Even got a rePETEr (<---- like that ay? AYYYYY?) on the back burner.

    Block: I do like the rePETEr except it kinda makes it sound like you're going to pork Pete. No homo.

    Re: Tron Legacy

    I saw the trailer when I went and saw Jackass 3d, it looks as if it will be a pretty good movie. Can't wait to see it.

    Re: Tron Legacy

    This is one of the movies I've been excited about seeing for a good while now, though I still need to watch the rest of the original. It used to air on G4 sometimes (and maybe it still does?), but I would always seem to tune in when it was almost over... Haha... Poor time management skills.

    Re: Tron Legacy

    It looks OK. I absolutely loved the original, and again this is a case where I am too attached to the original to warm to a remake/sequal. I will see this though, it does look stunning. And the music by Daft Punk sounds awesome!

    Re: Tron Legacy

    So did any of you see it? I went and saw it last weekend with some friends. Actually was willing to go see it in 3D, too... probably wasn't worth it, though. Just see it in 2D.

    That said, the movie was a lot of fun. Jeff Bridges talked and acted like the Dude, even somewhat as Clue. And a lot of people online have complained about how the young Kevin Flynn/Clue looked, but I didn't think it looked that bad at all. The only time it really stood out to me was when they did a super close up of Clue's face. But yeah; the whole thing felt like a trip back to the 80's: the music, the visuals, the way the characters dressed. There was even a character that reminded me of David Bowie.

    Looking back, there were some plotholes, but I've heard this was written by a couple of the writers who did Lost, so that makes sense, haha; lots of "science" that isn't explained. Anyhoo...

    Re: Tron Legacy

    Saw it with some friends. Gave it 3 stars out of 5. It could have used more of the games and more of the "Tron" spirit; perhaps it could have used more of sci-fi, show more of the world, the culture of the grid. Music was good.
    Spoiler:
    And I saw Rinzler being Tron right from the beginning. I would have liked to know what happened to Tron - besides turning back to Tron & sinking into the ocean. Tron 3?

    Re: Tron Legacy

    Saw it last night, story was a big pile of shit that made no sense nor did it seem like it made any effort to make any sense. Perhaps alot more was explained in the original?

    The movie looked great and the soundtrack was savage, cant go wrong with Daft punk

    But yeah the rest of the film was just a complete miss for me

    The original wasn't that great of a story either. Basically just plays off the fact that most people in the 80s thought computers were crazy and you could somehow BE in one.

    It had some epic moments, was decently visually awesome, but without Daft Punk I wouldn't have even cared tbh.

    I stream Bloodborne, FFXIV, and occasionally other games.

    Re: Tron Legacy

    This movie for me was ehh. It was decent, but I was expecting so much more from it. Overall i would give it a 3.5 out 5. As mentioned above the music of Daft Punk made the movie, gotta love em'.

    Re: Tron Legacy

    I was excited before the film came, but after watching the film, I felt disappointed. But I shouldn't be surprised for one reason: the first Tron did not have a stellar story line, and its merits were based upon the lush, visual world, not acting, character depth, etc.

    Tron: Legacy offers a beautiful world, Olivia Wilde, Jeff Bridges, and a wonderful score by Daft Punk. It's just not the type of movie I'd recommend to someone who is looking for a great story; it's a film to go out and have a carefree good time with.

    Re: Tron Legacy

    I have the movie....but I only watched once. It is a great movie...wasn't a good as the original though, but it was still a great film.

    Re: Tron Legacy

    Went to see it with friends. The movie was okay and my expectations for the 3D were kinda let down. There just wasn't enough 3D in it for me though everything else was good.

    Re: Tron Legacy

    I thought that it was cool. I also learned that my assumption that Rinzler was actually a corrupted Tron was correct.

    Re: Tron Legacy

    I saw it not too long after it first came out. I kept thinking about the old Tron movie and game, as well as the show 'House'. The woman who played Cora, Olivia Wilde, was also in 'House' as the one on the team with a family history of Huntington's disease.

    Spoiler:
    Personally, I really liked the character Gem, but they killed her off. She was considered "derezzed". The actress, Beau Garrett, was someone I've never seen before. I was like '$-;+! They could have done more with her'. The same guy who played Lucian in the Underworld movies, Michael Sheen, played Castor who liked to show a certain attention to Gem, but she wasn't having it. I didn't care at all when they decided to blow his werewolf balls to the hells.

    I also really liked the VR gaming action, but the whole story seemed like it could have stretched longer than one movie. Some parts were a little cramped and looked like it was more about the action. When you finally get to see Tron himself survive, he could have kept the color, but I hope that's a sign of game not over. He also didn't need to dual wield identity disks. Really? All he ever needed was the fact he was faster than everyone else.



    I hope they make another one. There's got to be something else they can try to pull off. I would also like to see more games in the series.

    The first two series, for those of you who don't read or know, were 7 volumes total and all for PS2. There was also an 8th; it was called .hack//Fragment Offline. A lot of people didn't know that I bet. Has anyone read any .hack manga? If you don't plan on getting Link and instead prefer to read, I recommend at least trying out .hack//Link Manga- Read .hack//Link Manga Online for Free at Manga Fox. Let me know what you think.

    Re: Tron Legacy

    Personally the plot was predictable at the end, the father well... if you watched it you know what I mean. It could've been better

    But the technology there and the CG was amazing. It makes me kinda wish I was living there, even if the time was at war and everything. I mean, who doesn't want to ride one of those motorcyle things? It'd be awsome
