Geek / Film Tron: Legacy Trailer (So This is What the Inside of the Internet Looks Like)

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 1:24 PM

Okay, so the first Tron was sooooooooooo BORING. (Other than the awe-inspiring light cycle race, of course.) That being said, here's the trailer/teaser for the 3-D update, Tron: Legacy in which they've obviously dispensed with EVERYTHING from the old movie EXCEPT for the light cycle race. Thank you, Walt Disney Corp.—for listening.

Seriously, after watching the trailer, check out the adorable—and in certain ways, superior—light cycle race from the original Tron. KA-UTE!

No, they didn't dispense with everything from the old movie.

This is TRON XP Service Pack 4.

Evolution, not revolution.

Blech, barf. This looks bad. They're using a CGI young Flyn?

The body movement looks too cartoony, the faces look like characters from video game cut scenes, and the slo-mo action is stupid.

Wm, the first Tron is not boring (the first 20 minutes are, though). You're a jerk!

He's supposed to look cartoony, he's Internet Flynn! Der...

Also, am I the only person that hopes Byte comes back for this one?

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! (NO)

Get it? Crap, never mind.
