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.

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.

Well, I wasn't really referring to "flying at your face" when I was
talking about 3D. I was more referring to depth. To the *inside* of the
screen, not the outside.

Yup. I read somewhere that they couldn't use the Sun/Oracle name because
of a trademark issue.

I dunno - I think they did a fine job of giving the depth of the city and
such. I think they could have done more non-gimicky 3D effects, as I said,
but I found the 3D quite fine in the movie.
Of course, given that it's the traditional Tron black-with-straight-lines
sort of environment, there's not a whole lot the depth really added.
