All things Tron Legacy

[TheStig]

But still... Two featurettes? At least the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World SD DVD included deleted scenes, a gag reel and four audio commentary tracks. And that's enough to make someone forgive Universal for screwing them out of the other stuff on the Blu-Ray (such as the alternate scene edits, the behind the scenes materials, special effects breakdowns and storyboards, amongst other things).

My point is that just because BR is out now doesn't mean that SD DVD users shouldn't be short-changed on materials on their DVDs. Just two featurettes is no better than a studio slapping the movie's theatrical trailer into the "special features" section and calling it a special feature (I'm sure everyone knows that feeling and has experienced this).

Given that Disney has turned the DVD itself into an extra, they're probably being generous to give you any feature. There may be a different set that has more features, Disney has a ton of them for this movie alone.

Buy a PS3 CB2001. I'm so happy I did.

I've been slowly upgrading my home theater since getting a BR player for The Dark Knight. I currently have a BR player, 40" tv, and 5.1 sound system. Tron Legacy rules on it.

I may upgrade to 3D eventually, I'm sorta waiting to see how the passive 3D tvs go. I'm not impressed with the active 3D, the keep seeing the flicker and can't stand it.

I had an idea on a loose adaption fan film of a short fan fiction story I did, which inserted the character of Jet and some details of the "TRON 2.0" story into the film's timeline. But I've decided it's probably not the best idea as the fan film would be a character piece, and when people hear "TRON", they think of light cycles battles and disc wars on the Grid. Besides, it would have been Jet in his apartment talking on the phone to his sister.

Actually, there's four songs from Flynn's Arcade (as there are two movies with Flynn's Arcade involved). "1990's Theme", "Only Solutions" and "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" by Journey and "Sweet Dreams" by The Eurythmics.

Ok. I thought the playlist was something played at the recreation of Flynn's Arcade for some reason. I just wanted the two new songs on a Legacy complete soundtrack. I think I have the songs on the group's CDs somewhere.

Im sure the choice of using a Journey song was a homage to the first Tron film, which also had a Journey song playing on the arcade juke box.

That was one of the best parts of Legacy. The whole film is a homage to the original TRON. From character lines, story flow, locations, and grid games. It also has references to Star Wars, Matrix Trilogy, and Batman Begins/Dark Knight. Legacy is no where near as classic, timeless, and special as the original. Or a strong new example of a cyberpunk film. And not even close to Aliens which is the ultimate example of how to do a sequel to a classic film by a different director. One article called Legacy lazy and a test in how little one can do to still make a profitable movie. Still, Legacy is interesting for some reason. Probably just because of Quorra, the lightcycles/Ducati (which I wish was a modern version), design (which still isn't better than the original), music, and seeing Flynn and Alan/TRON again. Yet, there is no reason Lora/Yori isn't in the movie. Especially since the laser was Lora's "life work." But if she was in the movie, they probably wouldn't be able to tell the story they told...

I miss the unpractical feel the original had. The way they handled the new recognizers just broke my heart.

Why? The scene with the recognizer, where sam was taken above with the music of Daft Punk was kinda epic… I know, no stomping, no riding on the light stream of the solar sailer, but they are more fearful than the old ones.

Draft Punk's music wasn't kinda epic, it WAS epic! I'll even say that not only was better than the score for Inception, but it was my favorite score for the whole year.

I miss how the recognizers had all their structural components disconnected from one another and how each part were able to move around freely with great speed. When I see the prisoner compartment of the new recognizers lower to ground level very slowly, I'm thinking "This is the improved model?".

I even fooled myself into thinking that the weird structure behind Clu when he gave his speech to his army was his personal recognizer.

See what I mean? That would have been a cool looking Recognizer. I still like the movie, but I'll always miss the primitive and detached look of the original.

After the Recognizer incident Flynn went through in the first film (in which the thing not only crashed a piece at time, but nearly flew apart on him), I think Flynn learned his lesson and corrected the design of the Recognizers for practical use on the Grid. You have to remember: the Recognizers in the first film were designed for the Space Paranoids game, and the pieces obviously wouldn't be connected, so when they're destroyed in the game they'd dramatically fall to pieces. But since Flynn was going to allow programs to use these for a more practical purpose on his Grid, the redesign insures a safer transport.

 

[YenChih Lin]

well, also Flynn made the completet grid with near real physics. If you look close to the understructure of the Recognizer 2.0, where the searc light is, it is detached.

I disagree! The way the Recognizer lost it's integrity when it crash landed on the populated platform was a benefit, not a hazard. If it was one solid piece like in Legacy, the crash would have been a lot worse.

Actually, no. What if there had been programs on each section that clipped off the piece of the Recognizer, there would have been a lot more derezzed programs. If there was one, the body count would have been small. Don't believe me? Go ask Anon.

Out of curiosity, has anyone found a version of this poster:



...without all the Korean text, OR in a version larger than 1024 x 1448 pixels, OR both? I was thinking about incorporating it in my display.

PLZTHNX.

Now, now. We all know that Recognizers from the original TRON can disassemble and reassemble at will. Even when Flynn smashed the Recognizer's shoulder against a wall, it pulled itself back into formation. There are several factors in TRON that tell you that the Recognizer is probably a bit too beat up to be working correctly, and that Flynn is no expert at flying them.

THE FILM DOES NOT GET CREDIT FOR STUFF IT DIDN'T PUT IN THE MOVIE! :angry

I can't believe you people are still arguing about the physics of a computer world.

Hey, we're nerds and geeks....... it's what we do:lol.

Actually, they don't form up by will. Flynn, being a User, was able to use his energy to resurrect and steal the recognizer; hence Ram asking him "How can you steal a recognizer?".

The reason why Flynn's recognizer pulled itself back together was because Flynn was transferring his user energy into it to keep it stable. That's why he does that weird outstretched arm motion during the recognizer sequence...he's transferring energy. If it was a program piloting the recognizer, the thing would've probably smashed to pieces. Programs are surprisingly weak. Hell, Flynn punched one in the face and he derezzed! lol

I got the Tron 4 Disc combo set and now I have to get a 3D TV!

I saw a most likely reprint of the Korean Quorra version on the bay a while ago. Didn't check for Rinzler but I would assume one is out there. The Impawards version is what I saved too. Movie studios need to be better with releasing their artwork assets and not just a piece here and there. There used to be poster stores that would have this sort of thing.

Actually, after Flynn punched that program he grabbed him and absorbed his energy.

picked up one of these today, apparently it was quite a feat to find them...
