I read it thoroughly, I just have statements like that, because first, there are alot of future based movies using body tight outfits which may look like Tron, so yea I apoligize for using "The Matrix" as the only source... The club scene where they rescue Neo from "The Train Man" makes me think of this leather/athletic/vinyl types of bodysuits, moreso - Ultraviolet and Aeon Flux, than The Matrix. I noticed alot of cyber-ware type of ppl on youtube, interesting..

Yeah as long as I can play Tron 2.0 online, I don't care. btw, I like that the TL is using historic metaphors in the future movie designs, can't complain much about that. abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Aside from the story, which was flat, the movie is a work of beauty, and most likely the best thing Disney has ever put out, even though they really had little to do with the movie's production.

Everyone and their grandmother is all hyped up for Tron 2 because of the trailer. Yes, the trailer looks good, but it gives a new glimpse at this new Tron world, and I don't like it.

The director is a commercial director, and that's fine, but his 'vision' isn't an updated, or even hyper-styled version of Tron in 2010; it's the freakin' Matrix, and not the good Matrix either, the crappy sequels.

There are SIX writers on board, two of them are the d-bag head writers for "Lost," who just told all of their fans, "too bad f-u, we're not explaining everything." When a movie has more than two writers, it's almost always a bad sign.

The design of the World of Tron is unnecessarily dark and dreary. It should be the direct opposite. The costume designs are absolutely horrid. Rubber "Matrix" suits and leather do NOT belong in the world of Tron.

What is really sad, is that the director/writers have the ability to do ANYTHING, but they don't have the vision to update Tron to 2010.

What's even more depressing is that just about everyone involved in this production are "Gen Xers" and someone should have stepped up and said "whooa!, that's not right, that doesn't fit!" But, apparently, everyone involved with the movie (with the exception of Daft Punk) appears to be just casual fans of the game and movie.

The problem with what they've shown so far, it looks good in extremely quick cuts, but once you actually look at what we're dealing with, you realize how lame the movie most likely is going to be.

Some important details:

1) Re-creating the rotoscoping effect is virtually impractical,
and would take 3 years or more and 300+ digital compositing artists to apply those effects to *every frame*, on every character in all the cyberspace digital world scenes.

Tron Legacy would then not be out in theatres until 2013 or 2014.

2) Do to such a process being massively time consuming and extremely costly in current times,
it was not the direction Joseph Kosinski wanted to use this time around.

This is generally (but not in exact words) what Joseph Kosinski told me.

(the following is based upon statements made by Joe)

3) The suits in the movie have real luminesent, fiber-optical light technology incorperated into the suits,

that really neccessatated the new streamlined designs as they constructed them.
also
The suits needed to be able to endure *live stunts*, and real feats of atheleticsim.
Mulitple, thick armor segments would prevent such stunts from being feasable.

These things where contributing factors to the more streamlined, "minimalist" design of the characters' suits.


"The film is about finding human connection in an increasingly digital world." - Joseph Kosinski

Exactly.

An important detail: we have hi-tech computers and cameras in 2010 to help make processes like this easier. Roto-scoping for TL would be rediculous. I think Kosinski either has a passion for the new suits (which is fine, understandable), or he knew that more circuits meant more dollars; or both. It's okay either way, I just think his roto-scoping comment MAY HAVE BEEN a smokescreen to somewhat deflect the question or not share the real answer. I don't know for sure, naturally; it's just conjecture. My gut is saying someone so technically savvy surely knew about or could've devised a better way than roto-scoping to do more intricate circuitry... if he really wanted to, or had the time, money and energy to do so.

I think he's being serious. Honestly, could you take a "bad" screenshot from the trailer? Every frame is beautiful

I understand sevenout's concerns. I noticed a couple of the same things, but nothing on the list really bothers me enough to worry too much. Yeah, I may not be totally 100% into the digital lightning or tire smoke, but it's okay. I'd rather not have those things, but it won't hurt the movie much for me. For sevenout, it sounds like those are near deal-breakers. Hopefully sevenout can eventually look beyond. Grow beyond, and extend into the realm of the invisible, so to speak. I try to rationalize it by the fact that Tron had: sunsets, and.... and... hmm, yikes, I can't think of any more similar examples at the moment.

I will love TL!!!

What's wrong with you people? What did you expect the world of TRON to look like in 2010?, like 82 TRON? I don't understand how anyone can be complaining. We have hot chicks in leather, disc battles and Lightcycles. If you're a TRON fan. What's not to like?

Troll (N) - One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.

As such, trolling is generally when you are not being serious.

So, let me get this straight, for those of you asking "what's wrong" with the members who are being critical. You're telling me that there's never been a film you've eagerly anticipated, where you weren't disappointed with something about it when you saw the previews?

I think there's a difference between stating what you don't like, based on what you've seen, compared to outright dismissing a film without having seen it. The topic starter fits the latter case. The rest of us don't.

I think we should all be allowed to express our opinions and concerns, without members trying to use peer pressure tactics to strongarm us into recanting our position.

The costumes are the ONLY thing I don't like from what I've seen. So I don't like the costumes, big deal. I'm still seeing the film when it comes out in the theaters. There's no need to convince me. But I'm not going to change my mind just because anything less than unanimous praise for the sequel is not the popular thing to do.

I agree with this, but...

Now that I have seen them in context, I am not so vehemently opposed to them. Still would have liked to see Steven's vision of the circuitry being part of their body instead of a suit, but what are ya gonna do?
Yeah, I wish it could have been like that. But as you said, what are you gonna do. What's done is done.

As long as the film lives up to the original as a whole, I'll probably end up forgetting about whatever bothers me and simply enjoy the film.

I think you've misinterpreted what I was trying to say.

I agree with you that the topic starter is off his rocker. That's why I said you can't simply dismiss a film without having seen it in its entirety.

What I'm saying is that for those of us who have their dislikes based on what they have seen - yet have also stated they're continuing to keep an open mind and still want to see the sequel - please don't lump us into the same category as the topic starter, as having some kind of agenda to try and convince everyone that the film isn't worth seeing.

I agree. There is no resemblence. LIES!

I really have to disagree here. Sure it's different from the original but hey! It's a sequel that takes place 28 years later! What did you expect?

The Matrix is all about computers creating reality and has a really gritty look to it. Looks virtually nothing like this.

And how can you make these presumptions? it's just a trailer. Those so called "villains" could be just game grid guys for all you know.

And if Lisberger is happy with it I'M Happy with it

And I quote(myself): "My hope is this team can fast forward the 28 year boundary from the last film, through the present cyber-panthestic/monistic manifestation, and fabricate a seamless cyber-ware consciousness extension we know as Tron, evoking a capacious mind-blowing fantasy reminiscent of the best story we've ever laid eyes upon."

mastercilinder Wrote:The Matrix is all about computers creating reality and has a really gritty look to it. Looks virtually nothing like this.

Wrong. Pure and simple. Although some characters don't have the exact same cyber-ware on, The Matrix is based on the same principals Tron is, with exception of mechanism of connecting to cyberspace.

The Matrix exploits a spiritual conscious that is atleast as powerful physically.

Tron exploits a physical connection in cyberspace similarly, more powerful inside the digitized manifestation that brings a spiritual consciousness into play as well.

The outfits aren't the only influences(I mentioned club scenes for that ex.), there's also cyberspace, but that's not really important. OLD NEWS.

Greetings programs.

It's always easy to criticize something before the final product hits. I admit that I have some reservations myself, but I can't make a truly informed criticism until I have seen the finished film.

Although I certainly understand the early criticism, I think too that it is often difficult to overcome the (sometimes jaded) opinions of purists, and I know from experience that most TRON fans (myself included) are indeed HARDCORE purists with a solid love and respect for the work of art that is TRON.

In all honestly I'm just greatful that a sequel is finally being made, and I support wholeheartedly the efforts of those involved in the new film.

In closing I would like to add one thing: I thank God that Uwe Boll is in no way shape or form involved with TRON.

Uh oh, we've got company...

What's the deal with Uwe Boll? Who is he and what did he do that was so wrong? I tried looking at Wikipedia and one or two other quick sites, but I can't tell. I don't know his movies; never seen them.

Something tells me his movies are either awful, or there's more to it... like maybe he's the man that everyone loves to hate on the net or something?

I love the world of the original TRON in every respect. And from that, I've built certain ideas of what a Tron movie should and shouldn't have. I'm all for it evolving, and love the updated look in most respects. However, in knowing the movie and universe inside and out so well (the one shown in the movie anyways), there are some guidelines that I think should ideally be followed to keep things somewhat consistent to what we know and love. A few things I personally feel aren't really needed: tread and tread wear on tires; LED headlights on lightcycles; tire burn smoke; recognizer gravity-based landing; rain (not sure if it will appear, but if it does, probably not my preference); streamlined suits; etc. I don't want to get too detailed, as it doesn't really matter too much. These are just very minor things I wish weren't done in TL; not necessary to introduce. These things don't really add anything, imo, and kind've take away from the fact that it's taking place inside a computer a little.

Yes, Syd Mead had a design of a circuitry suit in concept art that looks like the current versions somewhat. Yes, Peter Lloyd's? concept art maybe has elements that are in the new film (which I don't see as much as others, but maybe it does?). But concept art isn't what we saw in the original movie. I give more weight to things that were in the actual film when creating my perception of what "Tron" is and should be. That's all! No big deal. Please don't take my post out of context and think I'm berating TL or that I don't want to see the Tron world evolve or be enhanced. There are just certain ways to do that; and certain ways to not do that. I think TL has hit a few ways that are not my preference.

As a long-time Tron fan, though, I have to give nothing but kudos to Kosinski and Disney for getting us this new film! It is more than I could ever hope for. To think for 15 years that a new Tron movie would never be made, or that if one was made that it would not be funded very well, and then to get what we have now is a dream come true.

I do agree with you Trahn on your idea's there. We all our own little things about it. Even in the original tron outfits compared to the new one in the new film that is coming. Where there is a little bit less than what we had seen in the original for example the tracing of the electrical circuits. But that is all minor things as well. And do evolve there through time and events here. Even in the real world whether it is a good or bad thing is another story. And don't forget and I think you might agree with me on this the new director is doing his interpretation of the script in what we should see on the big screen.

Joseph Konsinski: " For me, it was taking what I loved about the first film,

See, that's exactly what I've been thinking.

The thing that makes Tron so different than almost any other film is that, looking at the story from outside, one can perceive it as a blending of fictional world and real, film-making world.

In the real, film-making world, the graphics in TRON are they way they are because that's what computers were capable of portraying at the time.

But in the fictional world, Flynn's experience in the digital realm is what it is because that's what the computer he's inside is capable of portraying at the time.*

So if you're willing to think of the environs of the digital realm as being a creation of the computer, then the "advanced game physics" explanation makes perfect sense.

Gotta finish this thought later - gotta hit the road.

* Obviously a computer of that era would have to be extraordinarily powerful to render such images in real time but nevertheless.
