Tron: Legacy

[ProjectX2]

I haven't seen the first one either (but I have read about how Disney have removed all copies of the DVD or whatever). I'm sure the story will be explained appropriately enough at the beginning of this film.

I'm excited for this despite not having seen the first one, but I don't want to see it unless I can track down the first one beforehand.

I also would be surprised if this doesn't lose money. Maybe it won't truly bomb, but with the outrageous budget and questionable public interest I think it's a risk.

I actually just downloaded and saw TRON for the first time about a week ago.

TRON came out in 1982, which was a golden year of sci-fi in movies and it is really quite good. It just works.

I watched it and while I enjoyed it, I was impressed at just how immersive the whole thing was. It still feels unique and interesting. It doesn't feel like a pale foreshadowing of THE MATRIX, for example. It holds up and is entertaining. But what made me realise just how much I actually enjoyed it was that I was watching all the TRON LEGACY trailers online and was really, really excited. It kinda snuck up on me how much I evidently enjoyed it. It's just solid entertainment and I'd suggest watching it before the movie. Just download it. It's short, sweet, entertaining, and while I'm sure the new movie will be understandable, it might suck and if you enjoy TRON that might carry over and help you enjoy the new one.

I'll download it tonight!

It's 80s, but it's fun.

mmmmm.....i found it to be just a very odd movie.

maybe the same way kids will feel of The Matrix in about another 5-10 years. and wonder why it was so AWESOME, when they can compare it to things like Inception or whatever came out that year.

would recommend watching the 1st one, alot of the set up and "robo-things" get upgraded to this generation Tech.

I dunno, I'd never seen it when I was a kid, and I only just saw it last week and was really impressed at the substantive quality it had, and I got what it was such a big deal, unlike movies which seem dated as soon as they hit the cinemas like AVATAR or STAR TREK. It's not as exciting as say, INCEPTION, and it's not a masterpiece, but it is solid work.

I saw this last night in IMAX 3D. Having not seen the first one I was fairly lost regarding the specifics in the movie, but this movie looked amazing. The CGI (besides young Jeff Bridges) was great.

I wanna see this.

 

[DARKKNIGHT]

I wanna see this.

you should. While I have not seen Avatar since it came out, I feel fairly confident in stating that I preferred Tron: Legacy over Avatar. It was worth seeing simply due to the incredible CGI. the "tron world" looked amazing.

While I think CGI Bridges looks poopy, the rest looks terrific, and I liked the first TRON which I only just saw a couple of months back. It's weird how some think it's a godsend and others think it's rubbish. It's a solid, simple action movie that's really quite original.

I watched Tron the day before I saw Tron: Legacy and felt like I missed something. It was definitely unique and I liked the look of the film, but I didn't care about the characters or the story. I then saw Tron: Legacy, which I was very excited for because the trailers made it look amazing, and was very disappointed. In a way, it's a perfect Tron sequel: it's got great special effects, but I still didn't care about the characters or the story. I feel like the filmmakers spent all of their time working on the visuals of the film instead of the script.
