Tron: Legacy (Four-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy) [3D Blu-ray]

It's a good movie, but I made the mistake thinking it was the original, it's not. This is the sequel. Still good, but not the one I was looking for. My fault.

Great

I was definitely expecting to be impressed by this movie, since I've always been naturally inclined toward all things sci-fi. I'd seen the trailer and thought it looked like it was worth seeing. I was excited, but I was nowhere near expecting to witness the glory that this film put forth. I went to see it in 3D with my two roommates, and even though they don't share my love of science fiction--all three of us were thoroughly blown away by this movie. I remember the response one of us had directly afterward, and that was just one simple phrase: "Wow. THAT was amazing." The special effects, the plot, the actors, and especially the soundtrack. I really am not kidding when I say that we were all in agreement when we decided that the other 3D movies we'd seen thus far paled in comparison to TRON. Yes, even James Cameron's Avatar.NOW THESE EFFECTS ARE TRULY SPECIALTron City in this film is even more visually stimulating than Pandora, even if it isn't bursting with color as much as the world of the Nav'i did. For me, the neon lights against a black sky and dark terrain looked much more stunning than the more natural-looking terrain of Pandora or even Wonderland (Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland). TRON is truly unique, with the light cycles and light jets that seem to erupt out of thin air, slow-motion derezzing, and gripping, edge-of-your-seat disc battles. And even though it is based on the 1982 film of the same name, its look does not borrow heavily from it.I FIGHT FOR THE USER!Sam Flynn, the son of creator Kevin Flynn, goes looking for his father years after he went missing--and finds him trapped in the digital world of his own creation. Together with a program named Quorra that his father had sort of adopted as his own daughter, they set out to stop C.L.U, a creation of Kevin's that has gone rogue and taken matters into his own hands. A fairly simple storyline, but I've got to hand it to Jeff Bridges. He does an excellent job of playing both the protagonist and the antagonist. I also appreciated many of the moral themes that were promoted throughout the movie, such as courage, selflessness, devotion, and family, among others.Another thing. I was really happy with how awesome and chock-full of action and suspense this film was, without the blood and the gore--but also without the fight sequences seeming cheesy or unrealistic (you know, the whole idea of people being thrown into things or hit with large objects but not really taking any damage). It really shows that a movie CAN be awesome without gory violence, sex, nudity/near nudity, or crude humor.DAFT PUNKLast but most definitely not least, is the soundtrack. The soundtrack for this movie, in my opinion, is the best I've heard for a while. It resonates perfectly with every epic moment and makes it ten times more epic. Usually, when I watch a movie, not much attention is devoted to the music. It's just sort of there, playing along in my subconscious mind. But this was different. This was a soundtrack that was actually noticed. Daft Punk is a major part of what made TRON: Legacy so spectacular. Their style of music is just so well suited to the movie, and of course, they did a fantastic job.THE BOTTOM LINETRON is an excellent movie for people of all ages. Even the kids. Both visibly and audibly tantalizing, it is something that will be enjoyed by the entire family, I promise. I highly recommend seeing it in 3D. It'll probably be expensive, but it is beyond worth it. So please, do yourself and a favor and go see TRON: Legacy before it leaves the theaters for good, because I'm pretty sure this will be one of those movies for which the big screen actually makes a significant difference.

Greetings, programs!I've been a long time fan of the original TRON. It's one of my favorite movies and has always captivated my imagination. I spent many an hour (and hours and hours) contemplating what I would do for a sequel myself. I never imagined this! No spoilers :)TRON: Legacy manages to bring back many of the same actors from the original, playing their original characters. That's always a good sign for a sequel. The story line was well-written and engaging and stayed true to the original in both spirit and technicality. TRON: Legacy is somewhat faster paced, which is to be expected for a movie made 30 years later. I was excited at how many connections were made, some overtly and others more subtly, to the first TRON. Unlike some other movies, TRON: Legacy managed to keep the references to its predecessor tasteful and entertaining. TRON: Legacy continues exploring the themes introduced in TRON, such as the spiritual/religious undertones and the philosophical questions raised by technology, and it does so in top form.The special effects were incredible, especially the CGI to give Jeff Bridges a fountain of youth - in only one scene was it painfully obvious that Jeff had some work done. The art and sound direction was pure genius, as each scene flowed with the music and the environments felt real without detracting from their digital nature. I'm not a fan of the new light cycle design, but aside from not liking the way it looks, they were very well designed and executed in the film. I also don't care much for the main character's helmet; and the new lighting on the outfits loses a little appeal with me when compared to the original - I liked the iridescent PCB look of the original.Writing: 8/10 - The story was well-written and imaginative. The writers stayed true to the original in nearly every respect without sacrificing anything of the new story they were writing. There are some very well written, clever lines, which are then expertly delivered. Not a lot will surprise you, but it will captivate you if you let it.Acting: 9/10 - Superb, with only a few, very few, minor discrepancies that caught my attention.Directing: 9/10 - Just shy of perfect, with a few lines and scenes that don't quite fit smoothly. They are there to connect a few things later, but they don't connect the way you expect them to.Cinematography: 8/10 - Better than average, by quite a bit, but nothing purely innovative or mind-catching. This could be seen as a boon, since there's also nothing distracting.Music: 10/10 - I don't give perfect scores lightly, but the choice of Daft Punk for the music was inspired, and the music they wrote was genius. Emotive and evocative with a strong, but not overwhelming, connection to each scene. The film was filmed and cut to the music, rather than the music being cut to the film, so it's synchronized in a way that is unusual and powerful in its effect.DVD Quality: Standard DVD quality with standard DVD features. No major flaws or concerns. Lacks certain extra features that were included only with the Blu-Ray edition.Blu-Ray Quality: Definitely HD and a good example of what HD is good for. No major flaws or concerns. Contains extra features - hints at a 3rd movie? We can only hope :DPrice: Are you kidding me? Even if you hated the movie, it's still worth purchasing at this price.I have watched both movies, TRON and TRON: Legacy back to back several times. It's a short marathon that I don't tire of. Is the movie good? No, it's excellent. Did Disney actually make a sequel that is worth watching? It's unbelievable, but it's true. Is this DVD/Blu-Ray worth buying? Absolutely.End of line.

When i saw Tron Legacy i don't believe that i had seen the first Tron much or was a big fan of it per say.But This amazing sequel got me into the franchise.First of all let's get the obvious out of the way.This movie looks stunning visually.No wonder this director got chosen to direct Top Gun maverick.Even though there isnt much in common with the 2 movies except how well the movies are directed and made.Tron legacy wasnt really all that well received i believe when it came out.And even today i dont know if people really appreciate it all that much compare to the original classic but personally i find this sequel underated.Its a perfect sequel to the first one.I know to some it might feel more like a situation where style takes over substance or story.But i find the story is still well suited to follow the first movie.Its the perfect follow up i find.The story makes sense in the way it would continue things like that.In the sequel we follow the story of jeff bridges's son who goes into the world his father created and has to kind of go through the same kind of beats that his father had in the first movie except that everything in the sequel looks way less cheezy and is upgraded to a hundred when it comes to style and look.In car analogy if the first movie was a classic cadillac the sequel is a sleek sexy lamborgini lol.The costumes,the sets,the special effects,the production design....its like the director saw the first movie and said i want a version of that but all upgraded for a modern audience.Even the score is perfect and goes well with the movie.its a perfect match.I love some of the new upgrades.Like the light cycle battle wich is one of the outstanding moments.It is so much nicer than the one if the first movie.The movie's special effects look great except for a de-aged jeff bridges that look a little fake at times but that is expected its not easy to make an actor look like 40 years younger with the computer and have it believable looking at all times.Some scenes look better than others and some look a little odd and creepy looking lol.But since the de-aged bridges in most of the movie plays a bad guy the creepy fx actually ads a scary quality to him that work given the context of the movie.Olivia Wilde is in the movie and she's the added eye candy that is part of the upgraded elements in this overall very sexy sleek looking sequel.I hope they make a third movie one of theses days and build up on what is offered here cause there is lots of potential.Its surprising the movie never got release on 4k cause this is one that could look great with hdr i'm thinking.But 4k aside the movie look good enough on bluray.This is a great transfer from Disney.No dnr.Just a great image with good details and a light natural grain layer.This is a great transfer.Audio is good too.Very boomy in the low end.The score really shines on the bluray.Pick this one up if you like the movie before Disney discontinues it cause we all know how much they like phisical media right?lol.I think we might get a 4k later in the future cause this title seems prime for it but not sure if we will get it from Disney.They might give it to some other boutique label to do instead cause i doubt they will do it for a title that dont seem all that popular.I mean the first movie is liked a lot cause its a classic but not so much the sequel.But then again i dont think the first movie would benefit from a 4k compare to the second one.

Ein cult Film 🎥 den muss man haben.

Enjoyed it very much, would love to watch another one...

De eerste film ging meer over de corrumpering van het Internet, afluisterpraktijken, software piraterij door grote bedrijven en de integratie van statistische kunstmatige intelligentie in de zoekmachines ter vervanging van bibliotheeksystemen met dominantie van de zoeksystemen over de gebruiker als gevolg (Master Control). De gebruiker wordt daarin door de programma's gezien als een God-entiteit, maar ook een probleem voor Master-Control.Deze film heeft een andere invalshoek. De sequel van TRON richt zich specifiek op de gijzelneming van een enkeling die zich dan als sterkste counter-hacker moet manifesteren en zich in zijn eentje tegen het misdadige systeem keert. Hierbij bevindt de gijzelaar zich in een besturingssysteem dat de beslissingen neemt voor de gebruiker en zich afkeert van de gebruiker.Wat je specifiek te zien krijgt dat je laat zien dat het om een counter-hacking omgeving gaat zijn de Zombie-threads en de compleet gecorrumpeerde architectuur die UNIX-achtige besturingssystemen bieden, waarbij je ook als je geen autorisatie hebt, je door te drammen toch toegang kan krijgen in enkele gevallen, wat uiteindelijk dan het hele systeem bloot legt.Psychologisch laat de film te wensen over. Wat wel correct uitgebeeld wordt is de wensen van de gijzelnemers. Het ene kamp compulsieve gijzelnemers wil dat je je situatie accepteert, je erbij neerlegt en je werk en je leven vergeet. Het andere kamp gijzelnemers bestaat uit spelverslaafden die willen dat je continu hun spelletje speelt.Het gaat fout met de uitwerking van de karakters. De karakters hebben de diepgang van een garnaal en lijken op karakters uit spelletjes die continu van de hak op de tak springen en zonder enige motivatie een complete ommekeer maken in wat ze vinden dat nodig is. Ze komen als het ware zonder inzicht tot inzicht en dat klopt niet.De film is ook verwarrend omdat het niet duidelijk gemaakt wordt wat het verschil is tussen een user en data bij het omhoogsturen van data door het portaal. Het zou geholpen hebben als de film nog een keer duidelijk zou maken dat de disks data betreffen en de avatars de karakters. De uitwerking van de film laat dusdanig te wensen over dat ik achteraf nog eens moest nadenken over of het correct was en dat haalde me uit de film tijdens het kijken.Het einde, zonder er iets van weg te geven, was inhoudsloos en oppervlakkig. De complete onderbouwing van het verhaal ontbreekt.

Tron Legacy blijft één van de beste films vind ik. Het Imax beeld blijft vet, en DTS HD Master Audio 7.1 klinkt mooi, spijtig dat Disney enkel een 4k Remaster met Atmos voor Disney Plus uitbrengt en niet voor Blu-ray disc. Keurig verpakt en geleverd.
