Tron

ill agree with this. dialogue and story was meh

Saw it, loved it. Will see it again. But like all of my feelings on Tron, it's perfect for me, but hard to recommend to anyone else.

the first 40 min had me thinking that this could really be a great stand alone sci fi film. by the end i wasn't as happy with it, but it's still worth seeing.
btw, i didn't see it in 3D

It was not shot in 3-D. Retrofitted 3-D blow chunks. It is nothing but a marketing ploy to bilk more money from you.

I thought it was supposed to be shot in 3-D..?

Maybe I heard wrong?

I agree with a lot of what y'all have said so far. The story was a little cliche', the graphics were stellar. 3-D was so-so. I thought Jeff Bridges saved the film.

It was, in fact, shot in 3-D. They actually used more advanced cameras than Avatar.

I'm a huge fan of the original, and here's what I thought:

I loved the subtle hints they dropped to reference the 1st movie. From "man, that's a big door" to dillinger's son, I loved how they tied it together. I also liked how they explained why everything was so much more high tech than the original as well.

Jeff Bridges played Flynn as a computer fascinated version of "The Dude", which I thought worked well when you caught on to the subtle things such as his embracing Zen since he was all alone.

*Spoiler* I enjoyed TRON coming to his senses and defending Flynn towards the end. And for some reason, I feel like they left an opportunity for another sequel with just Sam as the main focus and how he uses Clara and what she does as the only Isotope left, especially since she's in the real world. *End Spoiler*

I loved the score as well. It almost felt like it's own character.

That said, a few gripes:

They tried to make this a stand alone movie, one that if you never saw the original you wouldn't be lost. And while I enjoyed a bunch of the parallels between the original and this one, at times I felt like they kept trying to rewrite the original movie.

CLU looked too fake to me. Granted, if the whole movie had been done like Jim Carrey's Christmal Carol, it woulda been fine, but it just felt weird looking at the fake Bridges like that.

All in all, I loved the movie, minus my minor gripes. I liked Flynn's grasp on "perfection can't be reached" since there's a real world truth to that, and I didn't have a problem with the other universes/grids not connecting since The Grid was essentially a Video Game Grid and that's all, since that's what it was based off of.

I was rolling when they were DJing at the party. I think I may have been the only one in the theater that recognized them. That's sad.

I enjoyed the film. I didn't go expecting an oscar winning screen play. It was a good popcorn movie and should be taken as such. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the performance of the actor playing Zuse. I thought he was way over the top and annoying. As for the 3D, I hate 3D and wish it would go away, but that doesn't seem likely.
