let me say this:

TRON Legacy beat the living hell out of Transformers

Good I fell asleep watching Transformers on tv

See this prior post


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place (things I won't go into here) and this left Clu feeling as if his direction to create the perfect system were no longer valid orders or perhaps that Flynn no longer desired to do this.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 ?

it wouldnt, that entire city block i'm assuming would simply be... "displaced".

Clu's army would have been defeated within a matter of days however.

for starters, his entire army appeared to be fewer than the population of a small town. additionally they would have been very disappointed when they hurled their disks at a heavily armed soldier and it did little more than to annoyed him. finally, they would have been constantly cutting people off in motorcycles with no effect other than the middle finger being flown.

they physics of the real world when compared to tron world would have been a major let down for Clu's overal strategic plan for world domination.

I was slightly disappoint by the Tron film, I thought this was going to blow me away, not even close! Worth a look but only once. Don't worry Ive heard the New Tron game is far worse.
