I love this movie so much - I saw it twice in the cinema! - but I think... I think rather because of its potential than the story itself. I adore the world of Tron in general - but Tron/Rinzler in particular!

Gosh, it's so hard to explain properly just how much I adore Tron and how much Rinzler fascinates me. Like, why did Clu keep Tron and only turned him into Rinzler? Why? I mean, Tron was the best security program ever, it would make sense for Clu to keep him. On the other hand, Tron was also fanatically loyal to Flynn - so, was it just common sense, pragmatism that made Clu keep Tron or was it out of spite, basically his revenge on Flynn that he made Tron his pet, like, literally with that purring sound? So, so, SO FASCINATING! Gosh, why aren't there more fics?

Also, BRUCE FRICKIN' BOXLEITNER! I'm still so infatuated with the man. Ever since Scarecrow and Mrs. King! And then Babylon 5! Gosh, he as Sheridan! That character was everything, literally EVERYTHING I wanted him to be. From a simple captain to a war leader to a galactic president to a god! EPIC! Sheridan/Delenn is still one of my favorite OTPs, even after so many years! Goshy, I need to re-watch both shows!

But back to this movie - the music! Best piece Daft Punk has ever written. Listen to it with your headphones on and the sound turned up. Wow! Just... wow! The sound mixing in general was amazing - like when the programs chanted Rinzler's name in the arena. Wow!

Now my head is full of Tron/Rinzler centric fic ideas. Yes, you really don't have a clue just how much I adore this character. It's Leto Atreides II level of adoration, folks! \o/

"Tron: Betrayal" by Jai Nitz

3 stars out of 5

Artwork: Amazing. Very similar to the movie, it really felt like a different world! 5 stars.

Story: Kind of boring, to be honest. It took place between Tron and Tron: Legacy, it set up the second movie, it told us why Clu had decided to destroy the ISOs in the first places, yet... Yet it felt shallow, too much stuff cramped into 100+ pages. And honestly? After reading it, I found Clu more likable than Flynn because Flynn wanted it all - a company, a wife, a kid, a world of his own - and messed up everything. He was never there when he was needed and little by little, everybody lost their faith in him, until only Tron remained by his side. This comic book made me wonder if Flynn ever had it in him to be a leader or if he had always been an unrealistic dreamer for whose shortcomings everybody had to pay the price. 2 stars.

OMG! OMG! OMG! *runs in circles* You remember me gushing about Tron: The Animated Series? First promo is out: link. And it looks A-awesome! Hopefully, the series will do the promo justice.

If "TRON: Legacy" left you wanting more of the digital-cyber universe, fear not. Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis, the film's screenwriters, confirm that they've also written a 10-part animated television miniseries that will fall in line with the continuity of the films. While a third film has yet to be greenlit, the cast and crew of the TV series, titled "TRON: Uprising" certainly speak to its quality.

Bruce Boxleitner, who played Tron in both films, is signed on. "Bruce Boxleitner is in it, Elijah Wood, Linda Moore, Paul Reubens, Lance Henriksen. I mean, we've got a really cool group of actors," Horowitz tells Box Office Magazine.

He confirms that the series will take place between the events of the original "TRON" and the current film, "TRON: Legacy." Link

Please, let there be more of Tron himself! I just love the guy! \o/

I went to see Tron again, this time with [personal profile] matimate. We wanted to see it in 3D but their projector went kaboosh and there was no sound. So, we had to settle for 2D. Thus I've seen it both in 3D and 2D. 3D = better picture quality. 2D = better sound quality, don't ask me why ::shrugs::

But man, the movie was just as good the second time around! I still love Rinzler to pieces! He's the most awesome thing about the whole movie. I just love it when he pulls out his disc and then splits it apart and assumes his fighting stance - that looks so incredibly, incredibly cool! *bounces* When the computer announced "Release Rinzler", I almost did a jiggle in my seat :P

Man, I haven't been this excited about a movie for... I don't even know for how long. Probably since Fast & Furious!

Loved it. Seriously. I saw it in 3D - it's MADE to be seen in 3D! - and it was awesome. Amazing. Fantastic! One thing I would've preferred? More of Tron himself, I loved the character in the old movie.

Oh, but if you want to enjoy the movie to the fullest, do watch the old Tron movie first, you'll then better understand the relationship between Flynn and Tron.

Also, I'm now kind of shipping Clu and Tron, in a very "I'll break you and make you mine!" kind of way *shifty eyes*

Spoilers )

And now I feel like re-watching Babylon 5 because I just LOVE Bruce Boxleitner, if you didn't know. Love him! Loved him in Tron, in Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Babylon 5... \o/

Also, please, tell me I'm not the only one seeing the slashy possibilities between Clu and Tron? Tell me I'm not going crazy? XP

ETA: I'm also thinking of buying the soundtrack by Daft Punk. The music was amazing!
