I watched Tron Legacy in the theatre, I thought it was really good, the soundtrack was amazing but as soon as I left the theatre I never felt like seeing it again, maybe it was just fine tipped over the edge by a great soundtrack?
Yeah the soundtrack is fantastic! You’re probably aware but it’s by Daft Punk. The movie is basically a two hour Daft Punk music video honestly, and that’s probably the best mindset to watch it with.
The story and characters are definitely the weak point; they get the job done but not much more. After a couple rewatches I’ve started to appreciate the themes a bit more but really only as far as they contribute to the aesthetic.
I saw Tron in the theater in 1982! How about that? I’d forgotten all about it, until just now that I read the word “Tron”.
There was an arcade next door, of course - they had the Tron game! A guy was playing like a wizard, I asked if he’d gone next door to see it, he looked at me and said - “I’ve seen it four times”. I wonder where that guy is now. Did he go into computer engineering or something like that, just at the right time when the industry was about to explode in size?
