    TRON Legacy (2010)

    http://www.filmstalker.co.uk/archive...er_online.html

    It's a bootleg from Comic-Con. Not the best quality, but it will do.

    All I can say is.... hell yes?
    Sure why not?

    STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Rian Johnson) - 9
    STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
    THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7
    THE FLORIDA PROJECT (Sean Baker) - 9
    LADY BIRD (Greta Gerwig) - 8

    I think I enjoyed the audience reaction more than anything. If only because the visual quality is so low. Although from what I'm seeing, it's like the demo doesn't exactly get what made the first lightcycle fight so great (the 90-degree angle turns, the almost expressionist look of the whole film).
    Out of 4 stars:
    The Guest: ***1/2
    Furious 7: ***
    The Tale of Princess Kaguya: ***
    It Follows: ***1/2

    I thought the first one was balls, but I'm always up for improvements.

    I really like Jeff Bridges, too.

    I'm getting really tired of numbers-as-letters titles. What started this trend off? Seven is the earliest film I can think of which used it, but I seem to recall the title was printed as normal on the posters...I think it was only when they released it on DVD they changed it to Se7en.

    The thing with Se7en is when you look at the title you still read "seven". With Tr2n I read "stupid gibberish."

    So the RedLetterMedia guys did a piece on Tron and Tron Legacy... and i think I finally have clarity on why a lot of MC liked this movie so much. In retrospect, with Kosinski's take on Oblivion, I really like his visual eye. Makes me hopeful for Top Gun.

    I love Tron Legacy. The animated show they could have touched upon more because it's a fascinating piece. I recommend it to everyone who hasn't seen it.

    It's so much better than the trailer paints it to be.

    Oblivion is a bit derivative from what I recall, but still capable to surprise. The soundtrack is really something else.
    Only the Brave is was very engaging. He was going to reboot The Black Hole at one point.

    I've been listening to it time after time ever since it came out, just like Tron: Legacy. Susanne Sundfor, the Norwegian artist who sings the credits song is one of my favorites now. Wife and I flew to Oslo and Berlin to hear her perform live.

    As a fan of the original Tron, it hurts to hear Jay and Jack call it "ugly." Is that a common view? Because I think it looks amazing.

    I also appreciate the early scenes in the computer world, because as a kid, the only "boring" parts of the movie were the live action parts, so it was nice to get a few sneak peaks of the grid before Jeff Bridges goes there.

    Both Tron films look great.

    It does not hold up. When I compare that movie to other movies from it's era... it's shocking. They bring up Blade Runner which holds up wonderfully. But Tron looks so... flat.

    I'm not saying it "holds up." I'm saying it's not ugly.

    I also don't think the Blade Runner comparison is particularly apt. The two movies have very different goals. Blade Runner is set in the "real world," so its effects are realistic. Tron is set in another world, and I think it looks appropriately otherworldly. I was disappointed when Tron Legacy looked basically like Blade Runner.

    I'm still blown away about the special effects of the original Tron. Its just a lot more talky than T:L for me. I'm sure I've said it before, but Tron is 90 minutes that feels like 2 and a half hours, and Legacy is 2 and a half hours that feels like 90 minutes. Still really appreciate Tron for paving the way, but that sequel is my jam.
