I was unimpressed by the film. Some of the effects were impressive, but a lot of the movie, like the original, consisted of people walking around in neon-striped clothes and talking about nonsense. I think Disney has a moderate box office success, but not a game-changing, sequel-generating, cultural phenomenon (like Pirates and Captain Jack Sparrow) on their hands. I vote thumbs-down on an attraction based on a film that will be forgotten or even mocked (like Dinosaur) in a decade.
How is it you think that tron will be forgotten when it is a sequel to a film made 28 years ago? This would illustrate, for better or worse, that it is not forgetable :hammer: Not only is there a sequel and many video games, but countless references in pop culture spanning everything from the simpsons and family guy to car commericals and a Strokes music video. Certainly Tron is not as forgettable as you claim...
Now, it is obvious you did not like either film, and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little bothered when people overstate their personal opinion as fact. Just because you are unimpressed does not mean everyone will feel the same way, just as 28 years of pop culture would suggest for the original. It also seems unfair to me when people bash films that they do not understand. Just because you personally do not understand the film does not make it bad. I recall someone else on the boards saying of the original that they did not understand the story but at the same time characterized it as 'weak'. Tron is not jiberish as you say, and is more than people running around in neon striped outfits.
Tron challenges our perception of reality, challenges the things we take for granted, such as the work of a computer program. Mostly, we understand just that it does what it is supposed to and not how it works. So exactly how does it work? Is it simply current folling through circuits, or a whole world as living and complex as our own. Interesting also are the parelells between the Tron world and the ‘real world’ in terms of religion. The programs, made in the image of their creator, take orders from a mostly unseen source, although contain the freewill in some instances to reject the commands of their creator and even persecute those who believe in and follow the creator. Other programs fight for the ‘users’. An interesting point in the new film is that Kevin Flynn asks his program Clu to create the perfect system. Since perfection is such a subjective term and arguably impossible, Clu relies on his own understanding of this request which involves overthrowing his user and even resorting to dictatorship and genocide. This is just scratching the surface of the themes and story in Tron.
Certainly also saying that ‘some of the effects were impressive’ is simply an understatement. This is one of the few things most people can say definitively is that the visuals are incredible. Now, as much as I have defended Tron, I will also admit that the new film is flawed. That was not enough to disuade me, but I can certainly understand how it might detract others. The middle of the film has a serious lull and pacing issues, and the story could be stronger. My argument to that is two fold: the visuals act as a story elemnt considering the computer world in the new film is created by Kevin Flynn, and that the history of the story is more important than what is presently taking place, but this could just be a personal justification to like the story despite a lacking. This aside, Tron is more complex than some claim.
It always perplexes me when people say they don’t understand the film(s) or that its hard to follow, so just ask me and I’ll explain it.
I hope Tron does well enough to spawn sequels as well as an attraction. The environment is perfect for a themepark ride. And depending on how the ride is done, a story could be created specifically for the ride, or may not be neccisary and instead mostly relying on thrill and visuals for entertainment.
