Look here:
I first saw TRON on the Disney channel when I was eight or so. I loved it. I thought it was super cool despite being super 80's.
"But Chewie, You --"
Shut the fuck up. I know what I mean.
I love Star Wars. I love old time sci-fi movies with cool scenes. Star Wars. Fucking Last Starfighter. Blade Runner. Star Trek Movies. Dune. Aliens. Zardoz.
Okay fuck Zardoz.
Yeah. TRON for th most part was different looking than all of those movies in it's computer generated world.
But noooo. Everyone has to rag on TRON. WHY!? WHY?! I don't know why. Though I do know one thing. I've never seen the Matrix. Though I know it's just a modern day, more violent, sex-filled TRON wannabe. It had a cool plot, it had good acting, it had some fun action scenes and some nice humor. It had some old guy everyone hated and forced that old guy to fight. And lose.
It also had baby Bobby Kotick.
Then: They made a new TRON. TRON: Legacy. Some BA movie with some BA stars in it and the biggeset BA of them all. Jeff Bridges. Again. Yes. I know.
Though to a movie that brings back most of its original characters to take part in a movie they filmed almost 30 years ago? That's dedication. The new TRON offered everything: A glimpse into what Flynn did for his company that he rightfully earned. A glimpse into his life and how he treated his family, which you could tell he'd do a good job of. His old arcade (With some BA 80's music playing). The world he built, which became a living ecosystem that even generated life he never thought possible. He made self-aware programs and spawned a world in which programs can be physically brought into the living world.
Holy shit? That's amazing? Yes.
Plus. It all looked pretty sweet and was really fun to watch.
Also: It had Olivia Wilde.
Insert sexy picture here.
Another reason why TRON is great?
Because it's fucking awesome. End of discussion.
