I’ve noticed some skepticism rearing its head lately, concering TRON: Legacy, and while I can definitely see why some are hesitant to toss their chips in with it 100%, I am unabashedly doing so. I think TRON: Legacy is going to be huge, great, and a powerful debut for director Joseph Kosinski. As we speak, TRON is rocking Comic Con, with a quick Twitter Search seeming to show that the 8 minutes of footage Disney screened (and you’re sure to get a description of here on CHUD soon) did a number on those who got to see it. It also seems the crowd in Hall H got to scream “De-REZ!” over and over, which was recorded and will be used in the final mix of the film.
Awesome. Lucky bastards.
Share some of the TRON joy going around right now with the theatrical trailer that was just released onto the grid. De-aged Jeff Bridges looks great, the world looks incredible, Daft Punk sounds perfect, the action looks rock and roll… I need to stop. It’s irrational that a sequel to a film I don’t even love can inspire such excitement in me, but I think this is the perfect-case scenario for remakes/long-gap sequels- take a good idea done okay, and do it well. My fingers are tightly crossed that the story is good enough to take these amazing visuals across the finish line…
Enjoy the trailer in the most Ps you can handle.
I’ve tossed in a few stills, click to grab the high res.

De-aged Bridges looks great… until he talks. Then it gets Final Fantasy/Beowulf dodgy.
CGI have yet to emote convincingly. I admit that when they are still and not moving, they look great.
This movie is going to absolutely be the $H!T on Blu-Ray!!! This kicks Avatar's @$$ all over the digital world.
Where is Tron? I really hope he is in the movie. What is a Tron movie without Tron? Maybe he helps Sam beat evil Clu
The CGI is still unfinished. Hopefully by December, the CGI-Dude will be more lifelike.
they've still got six months to get that ironed out. Looks fucking amazing so far.
I will be first in line for this in IMAX. December cannot come quickly enough.
Yikes, is that a scene of Flynn Jr. wearing street clothes after he's been digitized? I think the movie looks like it's going to be a fun time, but the route they've got with character and world design kinda misses the point. It makes the place look more like a future world with a neon fetish than a world inside a computer.
#7. Well look at how far computers have advanced since the 80s. Would you really expect it to look the same? Personally I think the computer world would look increasingly more realistic.
CGI has emoted (see Gollum, Kong, Davey Jones, DISTRICT 9) but photorealistic humans remain a huge problem. Young Bridges doesn't look much better than the characters from BEOWULF three years ago. If the effect doesn't improve between now and December, Young Bridges going to be a huge stumbling block for this movie.
This was made to be shown in 3-D. Watch out Avatar, this might just surpass you in terms of best 3-D movie to date.
I'm sure it will look incredible on the big screen, but I'll miss the bright, goofy, geek vibe of the first film. This film looks and feels more like a sequel to The Matrix than to TRON.
