I saw Tron!

I loved the subtle references to the origional...like the name of the place with his pad was "DUMONT" salvage....

For you BMX nerds, young sam has a sweet PK Ripper bicycle.

I just came back from seeing it. It was the 3D version. I suppose 3D is appropriate for Tron but I wish 3D would just go away. The movie was pretty cool though. I was watching the movie with the glasses on and then taking them off and thinking "This is worthless" but the movie doesn't go 3D until he goes to Tron land, then it was sort of cool, but i'm still not sold on 3D.

Oh, and I too would like to park my monster behind the couch, but it leaks, and even I don't want a leaky bike in the house.

I saw it yesterday.  The theater was empty.  After seeing it, now I know why. 

The 3-D was ok, the D-box motion seats were so-so and the slow scenes put me right to sleep.

The Ducati, game scenes and the two women in skin-tight outfits made the movie. 

Otherwise, I would've been sleeping the whole time!


BTW..did anyone else think Tron's ship sounded a bit like a Duc?

Effects-wise it was pretty cool, but otherwise.....meh. Utterly devoid of plot.

ok, i gotta ask:  white cat-suit girl?  or black cat-suit girl?

i gotta go with gem (white cat-suit) ... i almost had an accident when
she was walking around.

[duccarlos]

Black catsuit. The trick is to not expect a plot. I went in there thinking I would only like the effects and was surprised when they showed some slight plot. Even though I think the genocide piece was total crap.

black suit girl....but I have a preference for brunette's over blonds...

[Speedbag]

I dunno, white cat suit girl got me more restless. And I generally prefer brunettes. Must have been the bod....

We went and saw it yesterday an were both moderatly dissapointed. It's hard to deny the amazing level of technology especially with the de-aging of both Flynn and Tron. The sheer amount of screen time that the de-aged characters had meant that the digital work had to be perfect and I think that it was.  

There were many little strands that could have taken the story in an exciting plot direction - such as the past history of Quorra and Zuse, the ISOs, the corruption of Tron, the young Dillinger, etc...

I thought that it was sadly funny that Sam knew not only how to fight on the grid (and hold his own) and knew how to ride a light cycle after having been on the grid for less than 5 minutes.  

When compared with the tone of the origional, it actually holds very true to the 'legacy' of Tron. But it did drop the ball on a focused plot. It's hard to imagine how that could have happened when the movie had been in development since mid 2007.

I suppose that in the end, I'd like to see it again on blu-ray in a directors cut and then reassess my impression.

I think I have to do an extensive at home study to determine a winner. Spending weeks with each followed by a solid month with both at once, examining every minute aspect of them. If anyone can contact them, let them know for a small fee I will allow them to compete for my affection.

PRECISELY!  something about the shape and the way she walked struck a
very primitive nerve.

amazing how evolution can instill such drives in an otherwise rational / analytic mind.

Surely you mean instinct? 

Just being difficult, haven't seen it yet, but I find it hard to believe someone could surpass the sheer sensuality of olivia
