c hoertjes Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I'm pretty sure Strife is early/mid 20s like most of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrifeROKs Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 but it wasnt their best movie to date. Up, Walle, Ratatouille, Monsters Inc., and the original Toy Story are all amazing movies. I thought TS3 was ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c hoertjes Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I think the fact that it's the end of a storyline for which we've been waiting 11 years, and 15 years total for the series, plays a part. The fact that CGI toys can elicit an emotional response the way TS3 did shows how talented Pixar is. The final 10 minutes of the movie were as emotionally engaging as the first 10 minutes of Up.

D-K Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Wow, Up did NOTHING for me, (Neither did Toy Story 3) and I'm generally quite sensitive when it comes to movies. Lion King gets me everytime though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrifeROKs Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I never said it wasn't good, I just think without the 15year nostalgia factor it wouldn't be considered nearly as wonderful as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slithy toves Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 i think the problem with Up was the fact that the beginning was the part that played with your emotions. it's like how i think full metal jacket ends with lawrence shooting himself, even tho i totally know that's not where it ends. i haven't seen toy story 3 yet, but i get the appeal of up. even it ruined itself for me early on.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 the first 10 minutes was not the only part that played with your emotions in Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c hoertjes Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 the first 10 minutes was not the only part that played with your emotions in Up No, but the part that had the most emotional impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-K Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Perhaps it's just me, but I felt unable to sympathize with a senior citizen as the lead character. Old people suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyaruson Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Just saw Tron: Legacy in IMAX 3D. That movie is everything that Avatar should've been. Amazing technological achievement, and a pretty decent film too. I give it 8/10 Shiny Metal Asses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diedan Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I thought that movie was such a blast. People can talk all they want about the convoluted plot; it's a movie about people inside an (essentially) living computer with spontaneous AI of near religious proportions. I actually really liked the take on the digital/real world as a symbiont existence or as another plane of the same existence and using that base metaphysical approach to address the science viewed as magic/religion theme. Same idea as Avatar, except that was biology/science, and this was digital science/life. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Once the parents come by for a visit, we might head to the theaters. I plan on obtaining a second Tron: Legacy ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, the plot was a little hard to follow at times, and the dialogue was down-right laughable most of the time ("Hope you can swim!" as he shoots someone into the water) but the film itself was very, very well-made and entertaining. I still can't get over how good it looked. Was kind of disappointed by the minimal use of 3D, though. And I'm not even a fan of 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I probably would have liked the movie more if I didn't spoil the soundtrack by buying the CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
