I am going opening night. My friends and I are fans of the original from way back.

I'm going to opening night with the Colonel. I've never seen the original though. I'm going because I love neon lights and Daft Punk.

Same. Except I'm not going with the Colonel. I AM THE COLONEL.

IM soo excited yea im going to open night as well and it will be my first 3D movie...>.> im also thinking about getting a black long sleeve shirt and getting some white tape and taping lines on it to look like the suit to go to the movie....is that too geeky? XD

I'm going to opening night with my cousin Karla and her son Bryce. It'll be the first time I've ever been to a movie on opening day. I'm psyched! I've been wanting a Tron sequel ever since I saw the first movie. They left too much open.

I'm an 80s kid but I have never seen the original. Maybe I'll go see this anyway. At least it'll be pretty to look at. Plus I haven't been to a movie in a while now.

My sister and I are definitely going to see this after finals are over. We have been pretty much sold on it ever since the first trailer and song were released. My friends and I rented the original in preparation, but they went ahead and watched it without me........

I'm excited and I definitely want to see it while I'm back in the States for Christmas! What I love about it is they got Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner back for the movie. I thought it was a remake at first, but I'm more stoked now I know that it's a sequel!

yea i know my jaw hit the floor when i saw him XD its rare when actors do stuff like that.

Are you sure it's Jeff Bridges? He looks a bit CGI in some of those close-ups.

Lol.. yea it's Jeff Bridges... but he actually plays two roles in the movie. One is a digital Jeff that is, in the movie, a computer copy of his character from the first movie. The other one in the movie, the old one, is actually him.

Okay, thanks. I've seen the original movie, something just seemed strange about the Jeff Bridges inside TRON.

I just saw the origional on TV a few nights ago

so what did everyone think i thought it was great! and i appreciated that they didn't do it all in 3D

This may be a bit of an overstatement but right now it is my favorite movie ever. I loved how they used the 3D in it - enough to provide some neat accents but also without way overdoing it.

I just got back from seeing TRON: Legacy. I loved a lot of things about it, but it was kind of a disappointment to me. Some parts were simply amazing, but others were just plain boring.
Then again, I've never seen the original.

The original is worth picking up on DVD. At the time it was truly groundbreaking (CGI was very, very rare in feature films then) and actually it was more noteworthy for its unusual multi-layer backlit animation. Much of the scenery was actually hand-animated to match the CGI, so the design is much more unified and it makes it more cohesive. It also had a decent, if simplistic, plot.

I'm waiting until next week or so, though my friends who went to a midnight showing said they liked it but the original was still better.

yea a lot of the people that didn't see the original don't get the subtle jokes that refer to the first movie that can get your through the boring parts. i found my self laughing at things that my friends didn't get and they looked at me weird XD oh well. i think the coolest was the cg face they did for the young Keven Flynn and clu 2 man when i wasn't focusing on his face i forgot it was even cg. its definitely one of my favorite movies of 2010

It was good. I liked it.

A lot of great action and I do like me some Jeff Bridges now and again. The more I think about this movie the more I like it. Not to say it was perfect, but it was a good time.

I liked this movie very much. My family and I saw it today. Very beautiful and action packed. I also noticed a little non-cliche story-telling. :3! One thing I liked about the movie is how original the story concept is. Very imaginative the way it's portrayed. Well done Disney! XD!

Your enjoyment of this movie is directly proportional to how nerdy and male you are. As it happens, I enjoyed it immensely.

Everything I expected to be awesome was awesome: the fights, the races, the music, and the aesthetic. Heck, it was one of the prettiest movies I have ever seen.

And everything I suspected to be bad was bad: the acting, the dialog, the plot, the general depiction of technology.

I loved it. Definitely worth the $7.00. As far as 3D goes, my recommendation is to avoid it. It is not distracting or annoying (in fact, it is used so sparing I didn't even get a headache), it is just unnecessary. The movie has enough visual effects without it.

Daft Punk made the movie.

This...

I just got back from this tonight. I liked it but I have to agree it was a bit on the boring side in areas even if it did have some amazing action and it was one of the most visually appealing movies I've seen in some time. Black/blue colors lit up with neon lights... ooo shiny!! (I've always been a fan of neon lights.. black light productions and stuff...)

There were a lot of things I liked. The style, the music, the daft punk cameo... and I liked the originality of the idea (a thing I liked about the original).

Things that disappointed.... TRON!! Ok the movie is called Tron Legacy and he's little more than a side character in this. They should have worked at making him the main villain rather than Clu. Not enough is explained either IMO. I think that's what made it boring. There was a lot of stuff they never really explained so they had no real relevance and I didn't care (the ISO etc). Also would have liked explanations on how things became corrupted.

But oh well... I really did like it other than that and I'll see a sequel if they make one. And I did like the 3D in this one. First time since Avatar I actually thought it was done WELL. Needed? No and it never is... but like color when B&W is the norm, it does make it more visually appealing (IMO) if it's done RIGHT (filmed in 3D instead of converted post production like Narnia, Titans, Alice in Wonderland etc etc etc...)

So I finally got around to seeing it myself. The 3D was worth it, and the plot was holey and mumbo-jumbo, but serviceable, and I really liked the acting of Quorra and Zuse. The anti-aging CGI on Jeff Bridges also was pretty good.

But it is nowhere near the original, and here is why: the original showed you a world you had never seen before. You had characters in stark environments where the only "real" things were edges. People were grainy and monochrome, only their suits showing colour. The environment and the landscape were utterly imaginary, only vaguely reminiscent of the real world, such as Robert Abel's rendering of the descent into Tron after Flynn is digitized. It was completely unreal.

Tron: Legacy, otoh, has normal looking people, just with glowing clothes. The world and landscape look real, just fantastic and huge and a lot of neon. People wear fabric. People drive things that really are motorbikes and live in cliff houses with material that looks like stone, doors with doorknobs and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

It seems to me with the length and breadth of modern CGI that any fantastic mental image, no matter how ludicrous, unreal or unnatural, could be seriously entertained. Even with Legacy's plot weaknesses, if they had consciously tried to achieve a new visual benchmark and render a world that was even more complete and alive yet even more unlike the real world, it would have been mindbending. It certainly had the chops. Rather than limiting it to "buildings" and "machines" it could have been pathways, actors exceeding physical limitations with or transforming upon or even creating fabulous planes of existence, shapes or images reminiscent of people rather than people themselves.

Instead, while Tron may have held some influence on the Matrix, the Matrix has been the visual imagery for just about every sci-fi movie that followed, and I expected a lot more from Steven Lisbarger. We didn't get a new Tron, we got the Matrix Lite. That doesn't make it bad, and I still think it was a good movie, but it could have been so much greater.

I just saw it tonight and, well, it was entertaining. I wouldn't really call it a good movie but I did enjoy seeing it. I've heard from others who've seen the first movie that this one kind of lost and deviated from what the spirit of the first movie. It seemed to pass up the chance to characterize more modern programs and computer technology in favor of action. What disappointed me the most, though, was that they didn't take advantage of the plot point they replaced that with, namely the whole sentient AI thing. There was so much they could have done with that along with the sort of godlike positions Clue, Tron and Kevin Flynn take. Just that relationship between those three and there roles in the creation of that new society could have provoked a number of interesting thoughts about God, the Trinity, and its relation to our world. I think what's most painful to me about this is the fact that they hinted at it but never really went any further with that. It's like they dangled a carrot in front of me the entire movie and didn't bother to pull it away or let me grab it.

With that being said, the visuals were stunning and the soundtrack was amazing. So, I still enjoyed myself even though I wish this movie was more then it ended up being...

Visually the movie is amazing. The shots, particularly the still shots, were meticulously composed and staged, making this maybe one of the best visual movies I've seen. Acting was passable, with the exception of Jeff Bridges, who did a particularly good job.

Plot... was okay. It had some holes and I'm not sure I appreciate certain aspects of the ending much (or understand everything either). It has ideas but can't always communicate them to the audience. Other than that, I liked the film.

I have to agree with Peanut on all points. I loved the effects, and the music was very very cool but it felt far off from it's predecessor story-wise. yeah I know it's not the same story but it felt like a resource that had the potential to be tapped but wasn't... Still think it's worth a watch for the action and incredible look of the movie!
Speaking of looks, Marvel who was making comic adaptions for the movie released Tron style variants of their comic book characters which you can see here.
So since I self-publish my own comic, I did a Tron styled variant of my character Jackket Knightmare, I think it came out pretty cool.

Oh man, the latest Blam from Penny Arcade.

"The son of a brilliant programmer goes on an incredible journey inside of a computer to find his father. Full of exciting action scenes, eye-catching design ideas, and a story that evokes the heart and fun of the original. It's called NOT Tron: Legacy."

It was great.....I loved the part with the motorcycles
