daddytoddOk, so I was already in my 20's when Tron was released. I thought it had some cool graphix, but sucked as, you know, a narrative. I haven't thought about it in decades. Those were pretty good decades.
Now the belated sequel is coming, and the entirety of Beardom seems to be squeeing in unison. I couldn't possibly be more "meh" about the prospect of a Tron sequel.
Is it an age thing? What am I missing here? Why is Tron Legacy the bear equivalent of a new Twilight movie?

Date: 2010-03-12 05:56 am (UTC)I loved the original Tron. I was a budding young micro-computer programmer and mathematician and it got my imagination racing in all sorts of ways. I was fascinated by the continually morphing 'bits' and the 'butterfly' ship that travelled along data streams was beautiful. For the most part I was prepared to forgive the simplistic child-friendly narrative and the wholly underwhelming rendering of the MCP in the closing scenes.
