I thought the film was called Tront because I read wrong.
I was more interested then. I didn’t know what it was.
Not convinced actually having the digital world stuff in the real world is going to be as good as imagining what that might be like. Stuff just floating around makes sense in the computer world as that’s all happening in a basic physics simulation, and you’re also losing the contrast between the sterile and controlled digital world versus the griminess of the arcade.
I really just don’t think I could ever watch another Jared Leto movie again for the rest of my life, even if I loved both Tron and Tron Legacy.
I was put off by the casting of Jared Leto but it looks like it’ll be an impressive cinematic experience (especially with a NIN soundtrack) even if it is dumb as stumps. My main quibble is in the designs - they seem overly complex where the simplicity of the originals was perfect.
Jared Leto again? Why does Hollywood think we want to keep seeing this guy?
He, entirely unironically, has a cult following.
Like… an actual cult.
He has a sex island and probably has blackmail on half of Hollywood.
I was discussing this with a friend, I said I was excited but cautious because Leto hasn’t been a main character in a good movie in a very long time. He said Leto his ups and downs, but when thinking about it he said he realised the last good film Leto was in as a main character was Dallas Buyers Club…12 years ago.
If anything we should get a good soundtrack from this movie.
He was in Blade Runner 2049 - more as a sidenode. The film is 8 years old.
Apparently they wanted David Bowie as the msin vilkain. Unfortunately Bowie died. Leta was a replacement.
Not much of a replacement.
Really exciting trailer! LOVING the look of this thing 😄 Wow so hyp… WAIT… is that Jared Leto? Awww crap… never mind.
Tron Legacy was great
meh. call me skeptical.
i liked tron for the in-computer world. this tossing their world elements into ours just feels like its leaving behind the one thing i like most about the original.
It’s too much of an American action flick or too much in general. There’s no weightlessness or strikingly bright details that were core to the aesthetic that defined both of the previous entries in the franchise. Music was an afterthought in the trailer so I wouldn’t have high hopes for that either. Pass.
But it has Jared Leto. I can’t wait for him to say “It’s Tronning time” and tron all over the place.
Oh, Leto is in this?
Totally agree on lack of vibrancy and it looks like a generic action movie with some tron elements tossed in. I still have some faith in the soundtrack I doubt it’ll reach the heights of Legacy, but NIN shouldn’t be slept on.
I’m sure Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will make a great soundtrack but it’s a soundtrack to a bland American action flick so either they elevate it into something great by the virtue of their own talent and hard work or their efforts will be wasted. First is still possible but I think unlikely.
Tron Legacy was an average movie, but some of the songs from Daft Punk still find their way to my Synthwave workout mix.

I often refer to Legacy as the most expensive, elaborate daft punk music video. I can’t even say it’s their best though because Interstella 5555 exists.
Action in general is what audiences have been conditioned to accept for blockbusters, when language barriers and dubbing and subtitles and regional release dates were more of an issue 20+ years ago action is what international audiences came for. As international box office receipts can far outstrip local revenue, it’s regression to the mean or maybe “lowest common denominator”. Visual spectacle, after all is what movies can do in spades…but since everyone has been trying to make a “matrix” action moment for almost 30 years again it just means scripts and plots get subsumed by “needs more adrenaline for audiences”. Like an impatient teenager.
The best movies will always have balance, and build to action where appropriate, but we’re nearly 3 decades in to “lacking plot, directoral skill, acting, good dialogue?–throw special effects and long action sequences in”. It’s like a highschool story paper that needs to be 5 pages and you wrote 2 so add a bunch of filler. It’s a shame, visual effects, cinematography and a good action sequence are as impactful as anything else, but have been given an outsized role that boils down to “what can a casual, normal moviegoer be impressed by”?
You ever want to experience cinematic whiplash? Watch the first and second Tron together.
💯 should have just left it at the one movie.
It’s Morbin time
I have been waiting so long and am so excited for this movie. I’m sad that Sam and Quorra don’t seem to be a part of it, but Gillian Anderson makes up for that. I’m happy to hear Flynn’s voice again.
At least it isn’t michael cera 🙃
I would prefer Michael Cera.
