The new trailer for the Tron movie is out. I loved the original and now I am freakishly excited for this one. Check it out!

Still, I'm no less excited about this one. Kudos to Disney for including my favorite motorcycle in the film as well (Ducati SportClassic <3). One thing, though...

...anyone remember what the fuck happened in the original Tron ? 'Cause I don't. >.>

 

For those too lazy to go watch it again;

Spoiler

Kevin Flynn is a young and gifted software engineer who works for the software corporation ENCOM, creating several video games on the company's mainframe after hours, aiming to start his own game company. However, three years ago another programmer, Ed Dillinger, locks Flynn out of the system and presents Flynn's work as his own. Dillinger earns himself a series of executive promotions, while Flynn (canned by Dillinger) is relegated to opening a video game arcade, featuring the games that he created. From then to the present, Flynn tries to hack into the ENCOM mainframe to find evidence of Dillinger's wrongdoing, but his program, Clu, is caught and erased by the Master Control Program (MCP).
The MCP, with Dillinger's authorization, shuts down access to the security group Flynn is using, inadvertently locking out another ENCOM employee, Alan Bradley. Alan goes to speak to Dillinger and reveals that he was working on a security program, Tron, which would monitor communications between the MCP and the outside world. After Alan leaves, the MCP confronts Dillinger about this, stating that it cannot afford to have programs monitoring it. It reveals its intention to break into the Pentagon and other military mainframes, claiming it can run things "900 to 1200 times better than any human." When Dillinger attempts to assert his authority, the MCP essentially blackmails him into complying with its wishes.
Meanwhile, Alan and his girlfriend, Dr. Lora Baines, warn Flynn that he has been noticed, but Flynn instead convinces them to sneak him into ENCOM's laser laboratory, where he can forge access to a different security group. Lora, who has been developing a method of digitizing real objects into the computer, sets Flynn down at her terminal in the laser lab, where a laser is pointed directly at the terminal. As Flynn attempts to break into the system, he is confronted by the MCP, who takes control of the laser and suddenly digitizes Flynn into the ENCOM mainframe. Flynn finds himself standing in the digital world, where Programs resemble their human creators, the Users.
Flynn is taken first to a holding pit, where he meets the Program Ram, and then is taken with a number of other Programs to meet Sark, a program that resembles Dillinger. Sark then informs everyone that they can either renounce their belief in the Users and join the MCP, or they will be forced to play games that result in their eventual elimination. Sark in fact knows that Flynn is a User and not a Program but though he immediately has misgivings of harming a User he is forced into compliance by the MCP. Flynn eventually meets Tron (Alan's program), and he, Tron and Ram escape from the Light Cycle arena into the system, prompting Sark to send out his forces in pursuit. Eventually, a tank fires at the group, killing Ram and separating Flynn and Tron. While continuing to follow Tron, Flynn gradually discovers that as a User he possesses god-like powers within the computer dimension, enabling him to manipulate its 'physical' laws at will.
Tron makes his way to an input-output tower, where he receives instructions from Alan on how to destroy the MCP. He then makes a getaway aboard a Solar Sailer simulation with the help of Yori (Lora's program), and is reunited with Flynn, disguised as one of Sark's forces. At this point, Flynn reveals that he is actually a User. Sark's ship then collides with the Solar Sailer, capturing Flynn and Yori. While Tron is believed to have been destroyed in the collision, he in fact escapes aboard Sark's shuttle. Sark de-rezzes his command ship, but Flynn manages to keep it and Yori alive, and he pilots the ship toward the MCP.
The MCP has gathered a number of Programs and tells them that they will become a part of it. Sensing Tron's presence nearby, the MCP sends Sark out to investigate, resulting in a battle between Sark and Tron. Tron gains the upper hand and severely damages Sark, prompting the MCP to transfer its functions to Sark, causing him to grow to enormous size. Tron attacks the MCP directly but his attacks are blocked by a shield. Flynn then jumps into the MCP's cone to distract it long enough for Tron to throw his disc into the core. This destroys both MCP and Sark and frees the system. Flynn is sent back to the terminal in ENCOM's laser lab, where a nearby printer is printing the evidence he needs to prove Dillinger's piracy.
Dillinger comes into work the next morning to find the MCP non-functional and the same evidence displayed on his screen. He's almost relieved not to be a blackmail victim anymore, but it's only a matter of time before ENCOM fires him. Flynn later becomes the new CEO of ENCOM.

Also; I wasn't looking forward to this at all until this very moment. Looks pretty awesome.

 

That's exactly how I remember it.

 

Olivia Wilde in black leather?

Yes please.

 

Never seen the original, but this looks pretty sweet.

 

I started watching the original a few nights back...I fell asleep 3 minutes in. What was that I don't even

 

Just watched Legacy, bored out of my mind. Story was garbage, uninteresting, and the scenery too dark, just so they could show off the light suits. The writing wasn't so bad, it just seemed like filler on top of filler. If Flynn's a god in the system, why couldn't his son do similar? Why didn't he just fuck up Clue? Why wouldnt he know who Tron was, etc, etc. Really for me, the whole movie was just nonstop, "Why the hell didnt they just...."

 

Pretty much this. I caught it over the holiday on Imax 3D and will give them credit for decent effects that rescued an otherwise failed effort. (That said, it's been awhile since I caught a film in the theater, so I don't have a good grasp of what the norm is with films anymore). My 9 year old enjoyed it, but even he was left shaking his head about parts.

 

Same agreement with Pers and Midnight. Just doesn't live up to the original.

Side-note: Watched Warrior's Way. Just plain Mediocre.

 

I thought there were a few moments of brilliance. I enjoyed the Games, and all the parts with Real Jeff Bridges. The music, especially, was probably more epic than the movie deserved, haha.

The logical inconsistencies were at least fun to talk about.

 

What? Have you seen the first one recently? Or are you going by the warm glow of memories? Because, compared to the leagcyone, plot-line only and not graphics, the first one sucked. Like, a lot.

The special effects were pretty bad-ass I thought, loved the bikes especially. There were some deeper thoughts in there about what constituted life, but nothing beyond just surface. Some stuff seemed tacked-on. The oh-no moment of Clue threatening to conquer the world was eye-roll worthy, so was the role the film's namesake took on.

I think if it had been fleshed out a bit more and covered some more of the depth it hinted at, it would have been a lot better. (Some stuff they hinted at, like why the dude's dad couldn't just wtfpwn everyone, but was never really explained fully.) Also, the rashness of the son versus the waiting game of the father were small, nice touches, but they seemed shallow.

I guess tack-on another half-hour and explore some more philosophical points within it, get rid of Olivia Wilde and put in someone who can act and be eye candy, and I'd rate it, in DLP terms, 5/5.

As is, I'd say a 3.5/5, rounded up for to 4/5 for the special effects. (I likes me some pretty things.)

(I find rating anything within the 5/5 scale on here seems to get my feelings across better than just mere words.)

 

I agree with 789: there's some rose-tinted glasses up in hurr. Tron 1 wasn't some "story for the ages," lol

 

It was to me, damnit! :awesome

 

Yes, but Tron 2 still sucked massively.

It was one of the worst movies made this year.

 

How can you say that when we have Yogi Bear in 3D?

 

Watching this made me realise how some people who've never read Harry Potter must feel watching the films - most of it made very little sense to me. However, I get the feeling I wouldn't have enjoyed it that much even if I had seen the original; it was distinctly average, however pretty it looked.

 

It really didn't, and it really wasn't, but you're entitled to your opinion. Tron 2 was exactly what it set out to be: a graphic-intensive Disney flick.

 

The film is pretty. That's about as deep as it gets. It was enjoyable prettiness, to an extent, yes, but damn - they could have done so much with this remake and didn't.

File me for disappointed. D:

 

I liked Flynn's robe thingie...
