Re: TRON: Legacy.

I haven't seen it yet, but I've been adoring the soundtrack, which buys a lot of miles for me.  Speaking of miles, I'll soon have wheels again (been car-less for some time now), and would really like to see it in all it's IMAX 3D glory.  However, I'm smack dab in the middle of nowhere, and the nearest IMAX screen is about an hour away, at $15 a seat.  Add the (conservative estimate of) another $15 in gas and Mike's recommendation, a local 2D showing is making more sense.

Re: TRON: Legacy.

Like you guys, I was quite entertained by this movie. I don't get the bad rap it's getting. It's got some rough edges to be sure, but it's not nearly as clumsy or broken as the majority of big action/effects movies tend to be. I'm probably gonna see it again Sunday.

Too bad there's no IMAX screen within a reasonable distance from me.

Re: TRON: Legacy.

I enjoyed it as well, clunkiness aside.  The Disc Wars was surprisingly innovative with how they did it, same with the light cycles.  I wanted more of those and less of the light jets.  I love the ideas they put forth with the idea of CLU being limited by the fact that he was programmed by Flynn of the past, not the present.  Surprisingly the performance I walked away most impressed from was Olivia Wilde's.  She brought a lot of nuance to a role that could have been a throaway.  And obviously, I adore the soundtrack.

Re: TRON: Legacy.

I agree mostly with everything Dorkman says. Although, I enjoyed Jeff Bridges' "Dude" like acting/dialogue. Also CLU's poor CGI oddly worked for me since he is an imperfect older Flynn copy.

Re: TRON: Legacy.

I've been having a conversation about this movie with some people over the last couple of days, and after some reflection, I have to say that I think this film is a LOT smarter than I thought after initially watching it. This movie is like reverse fridge logic. You go to get a beer when something you thought was really trivial and pointless in the movie suddenly makes sense and thus feels more important to the scene / film.

Re: TRON: Legacy.

So yeah, I just got back from it...and i gotta say, I'm really really diggin it. And unlike some people, I didn't walk into it with low expectations, but I still got a damn entertaining movie. Granted with a few rough edges here and there, but compared to a lot of stuff that's been coming out lately, it was absolutely magical...then again I could still just be star struck by the skin tight leather and that haircut...oh my god that hair cut, on her, pure magic, sorry Teague but I'm gonna have to steal her for myself.

Had dibs, I've been on about Olivia Wilde since four years ago. You're a Johnny Come Lately, bub, back of the line.

No spoilers in this post either:

Saw it at a midnight showing. Nothing short of tremendous in regards to the effects. Everything I had hoped Avatar would be in terms of visual content, Tron: Legacy delivered a year later. The soundtrack is without question my favorite of any film this year. Words don't do Daft Punk's perfect score justice. You have to experience it for yourself. The story could have been a bit more cohesive but it's not bad by any means. The religious parables are plentiful and intriguing. The performances varied between decent and good and a certain someone's cameo had the entire theater shit bricks. I won't ruin it for you but keep an eye out during the board room scene. Also, Jeff Bridges basically plays The Dude trapped in cyberspace. If that last bit isn't enough to make you see this movie, then you need to reconsider life on this planet.

Re: TRON: Legacy.

Saw it in IMAX 3D. Daft Punk was, by far, the best thing about this movie. Flynn's dialogue bugged me. Hedlund's performance was surprisingly good. I just felt that the story was a little bit all over the place. But hey, I had a good time. It looked friggin' incredible, and that more than made up for the story's faults for me.
