Snippets of the score are on streaming here:

It's some potent stuff. It's highly likely I will be getting the score soundtrack when it hits Amazon's MP3 store.

Looks very Matrix-y, which isn't a surprise considering the material.

Why do the lightcycles sound like they have internal combustion engines?

Well it's a virtual reality based world so I guess you could make it sound like anything including kitty-cat purring.

Like this cat:

Even though this cat is in a desperate need for a major engine tune up!

Just listen to the cat's faulty time belts et al!

Tron: Legacy of course isn't merely complete without it's partner video game.

The original video game that paralleled the original Disney film was legendary in terms of its playability, its re-playability, its graphics for the day were great and they tied in well with the film.

So of course, the latest Tron should be expected to be accompanied by another video game.

Given that most video game tie-ins that accompany their respective high profile blockbuster films tend to be throw away marketing gimmicks at best, I'm hoping that Disney did not waste blocks of money on this game and actually gave the game producers the chance to build up a viable gaming universe that holds onto the legacy and respected history of the first Tron arcade game.

Oh ****! I was so excited I somehow managed to report this thread! haha! Sorry!

Finished watching Tron 3D. It's a fine distraction of a popcorn flick. Best to watch at home and watch a much more deserving film at the theaters.

I saw it. Lots of flash and glitz, but boring. Hollywood needs to forget about 3D and learn how to tell good stories.

this seems to be the general consensus, james cameron has a lot to answer for, as radio god ron bennington stated around the time avatar was ushering in the 3D era, " we have plenty of 3D performances now, they're called plays, stick to making good movies"

Once you've seen it and the novelty has worn off, 3D just doesn't add that much to any movie I've seen. And in a lot of cases it's distracting. And the glasses are annoying (or maybe that's because the movies are so boring that I notice the glasses, not sure yet).

The problem with 3D is when the filmmakers add the process postproduction rather then during the actual filming.

Did you notice the weird disclaimer at the beginning of the Tron: Legacy film? It said that parts of the movie was filmed in 2D and parts in 3D and that the viewer should continue wearing the 3D glasses throughout the entire film.

I hear that a lot of people don't like 3D. The tickets are too high. They get motion sickness and/or headaches when they where the 3D glasses over their own. That the 3D effect isn't worth it. And many use the critical word "distracting." But I have seen several great movies where the 3D effect added rather then subtracted to the package.

Coraline, Toy Story 3, and Up were great in 3D. For the studios to be truly successful, they have to lower the ticket prices back to their regular film prices and find a way to boost the technology and lose the glasses. I believe its a natural evolution of the medium like adding sound and creating talkies or adding color to the silver screen.

Avatar was so bloody boring and the allegedly magnificent world was so underwhelming that it didn't matter if it was in 3D or not. Add 3D to a turkey of a film, you get to see how ugly the turkey of a film can be.

This just tweeted by my fave Mythbuster:


Best review I've read on the film.
