So the big Tron legacy trailer was "Released" this weekend.

Many are reporting that their local theaters did not have the preview in front of Alice.

Did you go to see Alice?
Were you expecting to see the trailer and had no luck?
Did you get lucky and your theater did show the trailer?

We want to hear from you!
Spill your circuits here!

I saw Alice. I saw TRON Trailer. I wanted to see it again...

The TRON Trailer, not Alice. I hope I never have to sit through Alice again.

I've seen a low quality bootleg version of the trailer, that's popped up online. (I'm not going to Alice just to see the trailer.) It should officially be released online later this week.

Overall, it's a nice teaser for the film. For the most part, I liked what I saw. Though the poor quality caused it to be a bit hard to make out the details. From what I did see: I still don't like the costumes. That's my only major complaint. The other minor complaint I have is when you see a disc/ring thrown and it gets deflected. It just didn't look right. Kind of lame, actually. Maybe that's something that will still be improved for the final film.

One thing that pleased me was the music. I had hoped that Daft Punk would honor the spirit of the original film and its soundtrack, and it seems they have. It has a more subdued, moody sound that's not as in your face as their past work. This is good.

New suits are growing/glowing on me. I think they look good when people are moving in 'em.

Yeah, that's more like it . . . now I can actually make out the details. The bootleg was pretty crappy.

Still not liking the suits. Everything still looks too "real", as well. Wish things would be a bit more abstract, like in the original film. Some of those sets look like they could double for any other science-fiction film.

But what's done is done. And overall, it does look good.

One thing that seriously impresses me is Clu. (Interesting to see him in yellow . . . maybe he's in disguise and not showing his true color.) They've made Jeff Bridges look young, and they've done it seamlessly from the brief glimpse we got. I honestly couldn't tell his appearance was altered through CGI. It looked natural.

I see that Clu is trespassing in Flynn's abode. That shot must come from later in the film, when the two start to clash.

Well, simply said: the film will be eyecandy, but for my taste it is not Tron. It reminds about Tron 'cuz of some persons and some redesigned stuff. But it has disappointed me, it is too much 'reality' (as T already has said). I'm curious how much my impression will change after i saw the film, but i have a bad 'taste' from what i have saw so far, it 'feels' a bit wrong.

Everything still looks too "real", as well. Wish things would be a bit more abstract, like in the original film. Some of those sets look like they could double for any other science-fiction film.

Same opinion here. Maybe you guys will like the stuff i made for Diu so far, as it follows a more abstract, more digital style. 'tho i don't want to state 'hey i can do things better then Disnay!', i'm just a single person, not a whole company.

At the library I work at we have several college student assistants. I overheard some talking about the Alice movie. I asked if they saw the new Tron trailer. They said yes and it was "sick". I asked if they saw the original. With no surprise, they said "no". Some knew it as "that old Jeff Bridges movie" or "that movie with the old looking CG". I smiled.

So...are we ready for the new Tron fans in December? For myself, I have to put my Tron purist feelings aside and accept them. Of course I want new fans. New fans means new Tron in our future. I'm just curious what the divide will be. It makes me think about when the new Star Wars films came out. I enjoyed the prequels, but the originals have a special place in my heart. It's what I grew up with. But I know some new generation kids that see the originals as boring. There is "no intense lightsaber fights or battles", and the "CG is old school". Well, we had Lando! and we had 16 years in between Jedi and Menace that we had to wait for something new...sorry i'm going on a tangent.

So it's going to be our duty to educate the new on the original Tron. I suggested to our students that they see the original before the new to get up to speed on the story line. At least they'll be exposed to a classic...

Anyways, just wanted to know your thoughts.

Which one is CLU? The one in the helmet? or the Guy in the center when the platform raises up?

I love the Diu stuff, the new TRON could has easily gone that direction. Syd Mead, Mobious, and Richard Taylor would have been good to involve also. I would have like to have all their opinions on how the TRON world had evolved. If everything looked to much like the original I think the new film would appear dated, retro and not true the zeitgiest that original film embodied or the new one should. The new stuff continues to grow on me but could have been pushed a bit further.

I asked if they saw the original. With no surprise, they said "no". Some knew it as "that old Jeff Bridges movie" or "that movie with the old looking CG". I smiled.

Yup. Could've guessed their answer.

They should, you know, actually watch the first film before dismissing it.

New fans is a good thing. But it would be nice if they'd appreciate the past, instead of always living in the moment.

I've watched lots of films and TV shows from when I was too young to remember, or even before I was born. And you know what? I've enjoyed them. A lot. I don't care that they're sometimes black and white or the special effects are primitive. I can still appreciate them just the same.

Which one is CLU? The one in the helmet? or the Guy in the center when the platform raises up?

Yeah, the one in the center on the rising platform. He's got a yellow tinge, while all the rest are red.

Man, if they'd just put some more details on those costumes - way more circuit traces - my main complaint with the film would vanish. I can take the rest in stride, even if I still may grumble about those things a bit.


I certainly wouldn't have expected the sequel to look exactly the same. What with the goofy looking hockey equipment and spandex, airbrushed artwork, backlight compositing, etc. But they could have evolved the look without almost completely re-inventing it. Frankly, except for the neon glow, almost nothing looks the same any more.

I thought Tron 2.0 was the right way to update the appearance of everything from the original film. In was an extension of the original look. Brighter and more detailed, but not so far astray as to not be instantly recognizable.

I should be seeing the preview tomorrow. Taking my girlfriend to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D. I won't comment any further (cough-cough stupid suits in the pics) until I do, and do not want to spoil it for myself with a youtube link LOL

I'm an "old Star Wars" fan myself as well. I HATE the digitally re-mixed versions... they still didn't give me the Luke and Biggs dialogue scene, (In a book as a kid which features stills from the movie, Luke and Biggs are standing standing near a Bantha skeleton, but that is not how the scene looks on the YouTube cut-scene) HAN SHOT FIRST, Jabba in CGI looks STUPID... a giant puppet with dudes inside was much more realistic! It made my dog bark at the screen for crying out lout LOL.

There are only aspects I liked about the new Star Wars movies, and some of the digitally-added stuff to the old ones. The background CGI creatures for example were a nice touch around the Cantina. But, much like watching Star Wars III at the Drive-In was a cool experience overall, seeing the new Tron in 3D should provide the same effect.

EDIT: The preview was cool! I wish some things did look more "retro" but hell, they had me sold just seeing the logo in 3D lol!
