Tron Legacy

[Skybird]

Twelve fully functional Tron motorbikes have been built by a specialised company, for public sale. They are licensed for regular traffic on American roads, though in Germany they would not get that permission, due to the stricter regulations over here. When I read this news two days ago, 8 of the bikes already were sold to fans and/or collectors.

I wonder what would happen if you cut someone off?

Way hey, 90 degree turns at a zillion miles an hour...pity I don't have the cash.

having waited almost 30 years for this sequel only the wife kept me out the line to see it last night. Tonights a different story, thanks for the review GR.

...I do see a hole in the plot- according to your description:

Upon entering the old arcade, the younger Flynn finds it just as his father had left it, and after discovering his fathers old computer terminal, he accidentally sends himself into the digital world.

Flynn didn't enter the digital world from the arcade, he was 'kidnapped' in the laser test area at ENCOM by the MCP, a room the size of a warehouse. Unless Flynn figured out how to miniturize that room and stash it in his arcade between films I don't think his son would be able to enter the digital world as you describe.

...But that isn't going to stop me from seeing the film. I WILL miss Dillinger tho, "Those of you who fail to renounce their belief in the users will receive the standard substandard training"

you are correct.

good memory

however... in the time span between the two films

1. Flynn defeated the MCP and re-entered the real world with proof that his ideas were stolen

2. Flynn had become the CEO of encom

3. Flynn had partnered with CLU to build a digital utopia

4. In otder to do this, Flynn had to be able to step between his reality and the digital reality at will

5. thus... Flynn had a computer terminal placed in a large secret room beneath his arcade with the digitizing lazer so that he could transport in a controlled manner between the two worlds whenever he wanted.

this is explained in TRON Legacy


EDIT:

to everyone else... my statement of "it beat the hell out of transformers" was sort of a joke. Transformers was meant for a different audience, and despite the fact that every human being i know HATES all the transformers movies that hasnt stopped the "crappiest movie series ever made" from grossing $1.5 BILLION with a third film in production...

Yeah well unless they do 90 degrees turns on a whim DO NOT WANT.

Hmm-K, finally saw Tron:Legacy in it's full IMAX glory, and yes the effects were beyond cool, but WTF happened to the story ? I can hardly wait to see it again just to figure out what CLU was trying to do, and to try to develop some feelings for the characters. I missed the old ID disks as the new ones weren't nearly as useful in combat but the facelift to the recognizers more than made up for it.

...and the lightcycles, WOW !

See it in IMAX if you can.

Flynn created Clu to assist him in making the digital utopia during the times that he was absent.

A few things contradictory to clu's idea of perfection took place (things I won't go into here) and this left Clu feeling as if his direction to create the perfect system were no longer valid orders or perhaps that Flynn no longer desired to do this. Also I sensed that clu may have become jelouse of Flynn's god like status (and other things).

In the scene where Flynn is walking back to the portal with his friend to head back to the real world, clu shouted to Flynn from a distance.

Clu: "Flynn!!!!!"

Flynn: "yeah?"

Clu: "am I still to create the perfect system?"

Flynn: "yeah..."

Clu: "very well"

Clu removes his disk and tron appears from the shadows and removes his, fight ensues, ultimately leaving Flynn in exile, trapped with no way to open the now closed gate from inside.


EDIT:


also... Tron Legacy had an AWESOME soundtrack

[MaddogK]

I got that part, but <spoiler alert>
what did CLU think he could do once he... (you know why he needed Flynns disk)

I didn't get that part.

Aye, the soundtrack rocked, and didn't recognize the actor playing Zuse- great makeup.

remember the portal back to the real world that could only be opened from outside?

if a person wanted travel from inside (tron world) to the outside (reality) - two conditions had to be met

1. the portal had to be opened from outside (only way to open it)

2. the individual travelling to the outside had to have the master key - which was Flynn's disk.

you see, clu could have jumped into the portal at any time - but he would have just been standing in a useless light beam without Flynn's disk.

how would the carrier fit into the basement ?
