So this was pretty good! might have a review up soon...but for now, 8/10.

The upside is that, hopefully, several females will adopt the skin-tight spandex, no matter how poorly constructed it may be. But I think that may be pushing it.

They'll be 10 years old though.

Yes, I googled it.

It looks like those sexed up deviantart versions of characters that aren't supposed to be that sexual.

So of all the recent geeky films to come out, this was probably the one I was anticipating the least. I mean, I had only seen Tron (1982) for the first time about a month ago. I wasn't really expecting much out of a PG Disney Sci-Fi flick. I was mostly excited for the soundtrack. All of this aside, this movie is pretty good. Keyword being good, not great. It looks fantastic, sounds amazing, and the action is exciting. The movie did its job of entertaining, so I don't think it'll disappoint. Plus,you can never go wrong with a free advance screening with free pins and posters (Thank you 42 Entertainment!).

Visually, this movie was amazing. The 3D really enhances the world of the Grid. Even the real world scenes look amazing thanks to the great cinematography. But the world of the programs look great. I like the way the action scenes were shot because it didn't appear confusing or nauseating, but it was pulled back far enough so that we knew what was going on.

The soundtrack by Daft Punk is amazing of course, and definitely sounds great sitting in the theater. Speaking of music, I like when Sam visits Flynn's Arcade for the first time Journey is playing, haha. The Daft Punk cameo is awesome, too. I loved that whole entire sequence with Michael Sheen as David Bowie, definitely my favorite sequence. I loved how it felt like a massive Daft Punk music video. Also, the sound for this movie is incredible.

Story wise, its pretty good but nothing great. Generic, but at the same time relevant. With the world being to technologically dependent, it definitely felt timely. Especially towards the beginning with a sequence involving a breach in security that leads to piracy. Some of the dialogue is a bit...hokey I guess you could say, but for the most part I wasn't ever expecting an oscar winning screenplay. The pacing was a bit off at some points, too, but it wasn't jarring.

The acting was decent. Michael Sheen is easily the best of all of them, really playing up his Castor character as larger than life. Too bad he wasn't in the movie longer. Jeff Bridges...was good at some points and hamming it up in others. One minute he's The Dude, then the next he's Obi-Wan, then he's hamming it up as CLU. It was strange. Olive Wilde is super sexy and a very likable character, I'm glad she was so pivotal to the story. Hudlem was the generic hero, but he was decent.

Overall, I did really like this movie. It was better than I thought it would be, thats for sure. I was impressed. I'd recommend it.8/10

by the way, in case you're wondering,

Spoiler

Flynn doesn't live.

They'll be 10 years old though.

I quoted this with the intent of thinking up a witty comeback, but I can't. I simply can't. You win.

 

[Symbiotic]

Nirvana, I've got a couple of quick questions.

Spoiler

1. Is there any romance between Sam and Quorra?
2. In case the movie doesn't do well enough to do any new sequels, does the ending give enough closure to where it's ok if it ends here?

1. Not really, I mean, they have a bonding scene, and he even shows her something that she's always wanted to see in the end, but it seems more like a friendship than an actual relationship.
2. Yes, definitely. Its good closure and I don't see much sequel potential, but the world of the Grid definitely could be explored further.

 

[WarBlade]

*sigh*

I'm required to see this tonight.

Then I have to see it all over again tomorrow.





Don't you just hate that?

4 Stars.

Frankly, Tron: Legacy was the most fun I've had watching a movie all year. It is good in a Star Wars original trilogy way: Switch your brain off and enjoy the ride.

 

[Alex The Great]

Watching this on Thursday. Can't wait!

In regards to 1, I kinda thought it was a romantic angle. It was just nuanced and not-in-your-face, unlike most action film's. I certainly got the impression that Quorra fancied Sam, but perhap's that was just fascination with someone else from the outside.

...he even shows her something that she's always wanted to see in the end...

I thought this was a Disney movie?

I wish you used a different example.

 

[ttotheusher]

I'd say a closer comparison would be last year's Star Trek.

 

[WarBlade]

I wish you used a different example.

Oh wow... You're right. I mean "ORIGINAL" t:

I'll update the post.

 

[Darkness Falls]
