Man...10:55pm EST...I can hardly wait! :D

I played the ARG which was fun as heck, and I got some cool objects from  
it (Encom ID badge, Arcade Aid pins, etc..). The first movie helped get me  
into graphics and programming...

Hopefully this movie will give everyone some cool pov scene/object ideas.  
;D

Anyone else going to see this movie?

Ian (excited....excited....excited...END OF LINE)

*HOLY MOLY!*

And I haven't heard about this project until now...

Am I gonna see this movie? Bloody sure I am! And it better be good, or 
else...!

Unfortunately, it looks like I need to catch the next plane to the US, 
'cause the movie isn't gonna be shown in Germany until Jan 27th... >_<

Well, I guess until then I'll get me the original TRON movie on DVD for 
starters. (How come I somehow feel the urge to watch Matrix again?)

Gee, THAT's gonna be a movie fit for the current 3D-cinema craze...

files, create a QR code reader, solve crazy puzzles, mad other awesome  
stuff to get trailers unlocked, stuff sent to me, encom intranet back door  
access, dooooooood....you would have loved it!! And there are rumors of a  
3rd movie!! :D :D

Oh...man...I feel your pain...I have waited 28 years for this night....I  
will not spoil anything when I get back...I will just rate on scale of 0-9  
against avatar and matrix. ;D

I was telling my wife that the matrix seemed to be based at least in part  
on concepts first put forth by TRON.

I have read that they use 3D subtly...I will let you know..they say it  
does not get in your way so much as many movies now do.

Dude....all I have to say is WOW!

Seriously...dude...wow...

No spoilers here...but...think authur c clarke  
2001/2010+matrix+bladerunner+starwars 4+david lynch Dune+so much  
more....so many references...so many programming and gaming jokes...
And the 3d is freakin sweeeet....not obnoxious; it was very tastefully  
done. The score is right on...not a daft punk/electronica fan, but they  
did a killer job.

Wow....

I am going to see this a few more times at least.

Ian

Comparing the two movie posters side-by-side, there's one clear difference:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tronlegacy.jpg.jpg

  The latter is much sexier than the former. Is this a good or a bad sign?

In the context of this specific movie, I wouldn't be too worried. ;)

  There are nerd bonuses. At least if you are a unix user.

  (I wonder how many people think "what a silly command to write on a
computer, 'whoami'" without realizing that 'whoami' is actually a real
unix command and used exactly for the depicted purpose. And it's not the
only one.)

I saw it just now. Pretty fun movie. Very tronish.

I liked how it was their own private operating system with an MCP, and yet 
it looked an awful lot like Unix. (Solaris, if I read properly - Solar UNIX? 
was it?)


I still want one of those desks.

  I saw it in 3D, and was slightly disappointed at how (relatively)
little they used the 3D possibilities. This movie, if any, would be
an absolutely perfect "technology demo" for 3D movies, but it was
overall used quite mildly. (Many people would argue that overusing
the 3D would be lame, but IMO even though that may be so with most
other movies, *this* particular movie would have actually benefited
a lot by using it to the maximum.)

I think people are already getting sick of the "stuff flying at your face" 
kind of things. Had they shown the light cycles from the POV of the rider, 
or something like that, perhaps, it could have improved the overall 
experience. Otherwise, I'm happy to see it in 3D without a whole lot of 
in-your-faceness.
