@@frenchynoob I didn't put it down. I only said that legacy was better. And I used to love the first one, until I grew up an watched it objectively and realised, that, while Tron is technically and visually groundbraking for its time, the story is mediocre and so is some of the acting. Tron Legacy wasn't groundbraking in any way, except mabe for the soundtrack being one of the best of all time, but it was overall a better movie than Tron, especially in regards to story and acting.
Easily the best sci-fi movie soundtrack ever. I know this is true, because as a total laymen, I still think about, and listen to, this soundtrack regularly.

We’ll see what happens in Tron:Ares.. many of us back then thought he became millions of bits of information in the system. Maybe Ares finds the thumb drive that Sam has…. Hmmmm
Addie, the canonical reason for the graphical difference between the two films is- the first grid was a corporate construct created on QDOS/DOS. The new grid was a creation of Kevin Flynn and didnt use a standard architecture. It was an extension of his personality, not bound by Encom.
The Grid’s cyber-neon aesthetic from this movie is iconic to this day, I can’t wait to see it return. If you have the time, react to the show “Tron: Uprising”, the same people who worked on Spiderverse worked on this first

22:14: "And then Clu went rogue!" Well, not really. He's a program. He was doing exactly what he was told, like a program does. "Perfect" is such a broad term, so easily misinterpreted. The film becomes grand, almost Shakespearean tragedy, because Kevin is ultimately at fault. Clu was essentially Kevin's other "child," and he unintentionally gave that "child" bad instructions, bad education, and Clu could only act on what Kevin had told him to do.
Clu is the Sys. Admin for the Grid basically that promises that comes up and asks if you wanna run a program. That why he had to ask Flynn his User if he was still to create the perfect system. Flynn's "Yeah..." ran the program.

Something that I will always remember with this movie was it was one of my first Blu-ray and the one that made me truly see how HD stuff could look. When he wipes off the dusty screen at the beginning, it looks so real that I paused it and told my mom how the TV was, and she went to, it is a core memory of mine
Tron: Ares isn't just in development. They finished filming just a week or so ago. I won't give away who's in it, unless you catch the trailer. But it's in post production currently. We don't know if or how it will tie into Legacy. There's been talk of a rebooted sequel and there's been talk of it being a continuation. The only thing we do know is that it's based on a script that was written at the time this came out as an intended direct sequel to Legacy.
Addie, you should have seen this is 3D in the theaters. With the huge subwoofers and cinema experience in 3D, it was epic. I have a 3D HDTV from 2012, and this movie is still epic. Surround Sound with a good subwoofer and 3D at home, it's awesome. You should also watch the making of the original Tron on TH-cam as well as the making of Tron Legacy.
Thx fot showing full movie 😂 i was thinking about how to watch full movie in easy way but in middle video arrived in my recommendation either reaction video or any other way finally arrived thx for video 😂
After jumping off of the Shangri-la tower (tallest building at the time), Sam lands on Burrard street across from a Tim Horton's that I'm at quite often ;)
Hugely underrated movie and soundtrack. Also..... Joseph Kosinski directed this movie and went on to direct Oblivion and Top Gun: Maverick. The entire scene of Gem and Sam entering the End of Line club was just awesome..... especially with the music.
This is one of many of Disney's own franchises that deserves more love! The story, characters, visuals, and score are top notch. I've never met someone who hasn't adored this movie!
I’ve been a Tron nerd since I was six in 1982.. This OG is my favorite film of all time along with Legacy. I was there during the whole Flynn Lives ARG and being at Hall H at SDCC when our voices were recorded for the film. I can’t wait for Tron:Ares which comes out soon. It’s great to see others these days watching Tron today. It’s definitely one of the most eye candy technology ever made! Thanks for watching this film! #FlynnLives As I’m watching, during the Flynn Lives ARG, it was as as hackers that helped give Alan the page, which helped opened the portal. It’s amazing how much the ARG and comics interacted with the film
You really hit it right on the nose when you said the music in this movie was going to be awesome Addie! It was composed by the electronic group “Daft Punk”, who frequently point to the original Tron movie as their inspiration for wanting to make their music! I used to play them on college radio before anyone knew who they were!
Daft Punk. They scored the entire movie with original music...They are in the club scene as the DJs in the movie in case you didn't know Addie... If you don't know anything about Daft Punk and what music accomplishments they have... You outta look into it... 🤘🏼
That wasn't the founder's garage. It was several shipping containers made into a garage/ home. The name Dumont on the container is an easter egg - the tower guardian's name in the game grid was Dumont.
@@terrylandess6072 Dillinger and Walter Gibbs had a conversation about how Gibbs started the company in his garage. Dillinger made the threat to put him back there. Dumont (Gibb's counterpart in the system) was the name for the tower guardian that allowed Tron to communicate with Alan1
@@timmooney7528 Yeah, I happened to see that film back in 82 when it released and have had various copies since then. I still don't get what this fuckin interrogation is about.
@@terrylandess6072 I got the impression the scene accentuates Dillinger and the MCP's pursuit of power is affecting the rest of the company's business and research. Gibbs is making it clear Dillinger isn't operating with the company's interests in mind.
Thank You for this one today, Addie💝and "Bless You" too!😂This is one of the Coolest Sequels Ever: improved upon the Original in every way, and it always leaves Me wanting MORE!👍Here's Hoping for the Third Movie...🤞
Good sequel 👌 There are a couple small things I would change, but overall very well done. Its also cool that much of the film was shot in Vancouver BC where I live. Sam and Quorra ride the motorcycle across the lions gate bridge at the end as she see's her first sun rise. Fun fact: lions Gate film studios who have made many well known movies. Such as American Psycho, Hunger games, and John Wick was named after that Bridge in Vancouver.
Hey Addie...Bless you, thrice! - 21:44 - The composers of the score for Tron Legacy appear...Daft Punk. - Michael Sheen (Castor) was a huge fan of the first film as a kid, so when he was offered the chance to be a part of this film, he JUMPED at it! I love his David Bowie-esque performance in the role. - It was exciting to see Cillian Murphy as Ed Dillinger, Jr., even though it was just a glorified cameo. I think that there were plans that would have had Murphy play someone in the grid in a sequel, but the film didn't make enough to warrant an immediate sequel, so those plans were scrapped. Although, there is a new Tron film coming next year. Tron: Ares with Jared Leto, and Jeff Bridges will return as well *that was announced just a couple weeks ago). - The clues to Rizler being Tron were there all the time. You never see Rinzler's face, but on his chest are four little boxes, three on top, one centered below (which is what was on Tron's chest in the first film). When Rinzler pins Sam, and sees the blood, it is Bruce Boxleitner's voice who says, "User!". When we see Tron in the flashback, he fights with two discs, like Rinzler. So, when Flynn recognized Rinzler as Tron...it makes sense. - I loved this and wanted more, but the box office was not enough for Disney to do another at the time. There is another Disney sci-fi film I think you need to see...John Carter (2012). Based on the novel A Princess of Mars by Edger Rice Burroughs (the same writer who created Tarzan). The film stars Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights and Gambit from X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Lynn Collins (Logan's girlfriend Kayla Silverfox in X-Men Origins), Willem Dafoe, Samamtha Morton, Mark Strong, Bryan Cranston, Dominic West, Daryl Sabara and directed by Andrew Stanton (Wall-E and Finding Nemo). It was a flop (even though he did make up it's budget at the box office), but it is a really fun adventure romance story...one that has inspired science fiction and comic book writers, artists, and filmmakers for over 100 years.
Was this the first time where vfx were used to de-age an actor? Also, the two DJs at the bar scene were actually the Daft Punk duo group, who created the music for the movie.
Now that is how you do a segue. That alone would have earned a like. I not only like how they laid out the story, but even the small things like Dillingers kid being in the movie were nice touches.
Grew up watching the original cause of my dad and this one love them both and love tron legacy and love when Tron remembers and am still hoping for a day that they continue this world since the third has been put off for years now will have to watch this ater though cause am busy and want to see this on my laptop not my phone
Did you know there's a Tron animated tv show called Tron Uprising ? Tron Uprising is a 2012 stylized show that happens between Tron and Tron Uprising. The show is a little bit more for kids but that's because they needed to make it appropriate for Disney XD. You can make a reaction video of the show episode by episode (obviously). The show won an Emmy award for animation. And it has 22 minutes episodes, aaand... it got cancelled.
I really love this movie. The whole thing sort of feels like a big choreographed dance - the way people and objects move and the music. And I LOVE Quorra.
The name Gem is play on names carried over from the first movie. Digital Research created Graphics Environment Manager, a competitor for Windows in the mid 80's. CLU was the name of a programming language which dates back to the early 70's. More modern uses of the name refers to command line users - the folk who process commands through the terminal versus the graphical environment.
I have adored this movie since the first time I saw it. I still very much love all the eye candy, clean visuals and sounds, characters, and THAT MUSIC! I always take a chance to re-watch this one. 😊
3:43 Yes, Daft Punk deserved the Oscar they received for this soundtrack. When I heard that they were doing the soundtrack, I knew I had to see the movie. edit - Sorry to say, but the third movie has been in production for over a decade. It's not likely it will ever happen.
To start off, you have the most adorable sneeze, Gesundheit, three times by the way! This movie, the sequel, like the first leaves you with a lot of questions, and Disney had stated after the first there would be no sequel, and well lo and behold there was. After this movie was out Disney against stated there would be no prequel, and voila there will be, with a scheduled release date of October 10, 2025... that is all I will say about that for you. I myself have happened to love this movie add answered a lot of questions from the first movie however, Cindy Morgan (Lora/Yori) as your seen was not in the movie, but Yori is still or was in the Universe of Tron.. . Unknown where and what she is doing. Cindy Morgan has since passed away (RIP), but Yori, her character is rumored to be in "Tron: Ares", (T-3), by an unknown actress...
While you wait for the next Tron, check out Tron: Uprising, an animated show with Elijah Wood voicing the main character. Saddly it was canceled, but it does have 20ish episodes
Fell in love with the original after seeing it in the cinema, and gotta say this is a brilliant sequel. I am cautiously hopeful for the next one, though the music is such a big part of this one (and my favorite genre), so I don't know if it will hit the same heights. Having experienced it several times irl I get chills when he powers up the arcade and all the games come to life... the sounds are dead accurate, I can almost name them! The other vivid memories that come washing back is being in a club with Sweet Dreams blasting, but muted due to walls. It was usually being in the bathroom and frantically making a dash for the dancefloor! I can hardly believe Zeus is the same person that is in Good Omens (highly recommended)
Greetings, Addie. Welcome back to the grid. TRON: Legacy (2010) was incredible indeed. This is also my all-time favorite live-action Disney movie. In fact, I like this movie a lot more than most of the Disney live-action remakes that came out in recent years. The VFX for this one really holds up better than the first film. I even own the IMAX version of the movie on Blu-ray with the aspect ratio switch being retained for seven scenes. Here's how the lightcycle sequence appeared in the IMAX version. th-cam.com/video/SqSuRdkglxM/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared TRON: Ares (2025) comes out in October of next year and that's gonna be my most anticipated Disney movie of 2025.
I love how much un-answered stuff there is in the movie. They hint at Tron being saved when his lights turn back on as the light blue over the orange he had as Rinzler. I think that's part of what makes some movies so good, NOT explaining everything, and just letting us wonder.
#addiecounts# you are awesome tron was awesome to overcome his reconditioning to help flynn because he remembers to help his friend and he remembers helping flynn to get to victory to help free the grid and he knows and remembers from the grid with flynn getting injured in the first movie and seeing sam bled caused him to start remembering ❤❤❤your awesome addie
I saw this in theatres and it blew my mind. It made me want to be a filmmaker and a motion-capture actor. Now I’m writing my own scripts 😊 the Daft Punk soundtrack still lives on in my collection.
If you want more from this specific version of the universe, there's an animated TV series and a Visual Novel that expand things out and give more story. :)
Back in the 80’s after the original movie TRON..was released ..TRON the arcade game came out!..and I dropped many quarters into this game, I still miss playing it
Hey Addy! Shout out from your favorite US Marine! This was one of my favorite films in the 80's! I didn't even hear of Tron Ares 2025 until I watched your review! Awesome. I can't wait until it comes out! And wasn't the scene in the beginning just so awesome when the guys like, "some kid owns the company" and he's like, "yeah, that's me!" And then continues to jump! So epic! I thought for sure he was gonna get away there! Had a few good twists in this movie too! Keep up the great reviews, kiddo! ❤🤍💙💛
Nice reaction Addie, this one is awesome and 28 years later we've come far with CGI and other effects. Great story line and good role for Olivia. Daft Punk's music was perfect.
Bless you, bless you, bless you Addie! Loved this movie, and am glad you had a great time watching it 😃 Quora's reaction at the end is awesome, love how they closed out that movie
The only part of the fx that may take you out of the experience is the de-aging done to Jeff Bridges (Flynn) at the beginning of the movie, but in the case of Clu it makes sense that he looks a bit strange because he's digital. However, in terms of story-telling, the series Tron Uprising is still leagues ahead, with a lot more characters, character development, and world-building.
Great movie, also love the original. I was in university taking my Computer Science degree and the original TRON blew us away. We grew up with "Pong", "Pac-Man", "Space Invaders", etc. for computer graphics. My 1982 TI-99/4A computer was just 256×192 pixels and 16 colours. Yes, amazing what a few decades can do. It still mind-boggling to think of what my Nintendo Switch can do. The amount of data being processed / moved / displayed ...😮😮 The only disappointment after this movie, was Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" album. This movie's soundtrack had me psyched for their next album, wasn't for me.
Clu did not go rogue, that's the "neat" part. Like you see in his creation phase he says "you will create the perfect system" when they housed the Iso's he asks "Do i still need to create the prefect system" since the Iso are an imperfection all he technically had to answer was "No", but since he answered "yes" he technically gave him the all green to purge all the imperfections and those that opposed the purge. Hence the "coup"
The Tron movies are so good, and I am happy to know they are working on a third one. I am going to have a hard time waiting another year and five months for the third one to release. At least I know it is happening YAY! I hope they have the same cast for Tron: Ares.
If you want to see a little more there's a Disney XD show called Tron uprising is animated and it shows everything that happened between the movies. The Trump 3 movie is known as Tron Ar3s he's the new protagonist in his play by Jared Leto.
I know the ideas in this film were a little thin at times. I know it tried for Matrix-level philosophy and didn't quite hit the mark between fun and deep. But there were some genuinely heartfelt moments in this that the original didn't have. The core plot of Sam trying to find his dad was a better throughline than the original. And I think CLU was a bit more menacing of a villain than the MCP from a genuine consequences standpoint. Although I do love Dillinger/Sark as the villains of the first film. Not to mention the score is miles better in this one. The visuals are of course better, but if I consider the visuals of when this film was made to the visuals in reference to when the original was made, they wash pretty well. Overall, I think undue expectations outdid this. Tron has a nostalgia that this couldn't compete with. Even if the original film isn't really that good either except from technical wow factors and Jeff Bridges being excellent. I even remember people knocking this movie saying Bridges was channeling The Dude too much, completely missing that Kevin Flynn was The Dude way before The Big Lebowski anyways. And yes, this film was mostly just setpiece to setpiece. But knocking this film for that while praising the original is a bit hypocritical of people, I think. I have a blast with this movie and have seen it a half a dozen times since it was released.
For me the scene when Quorra sees the sun for the first time is one of the most beautiful scenes I have seen and Oliva really sold the scene 🥺
And how could you not fall in love with her when she laid her head on Sam's back!
@@rdyer8764 When she asks what Jules Verne is like did it for me. People act so jaded these days, seeing someone with a fresh sense of wonder is nice.

That scene is just Wilde man.

I dig her $350 dollar haircut! 😅
This movie gets so much unnecessary hate, it is very criminally underrated.
If people would take off the rose-coloured glasses of their youth, they would notice that Legacy is better than the first movie.

I often tell people that this movie is just a 2-hour music video for Daft Punk. Love the movie, but the music is SO damn good too.
If I watched this movie with zero dialogue, but with the music soundtrack still pumping in the background, it would still be a perfect movie!
One of only about a half dozen soundtracks I've purchased. Unmatched blend of orchestra and synthesizers.
Easily the best sci-fi movie soundtrack ever. I know this is true, because as a total laymen, I still think about, and listen to, this soundtrack regularly.

Tron: Ares isn't just in development. They finished filming just a week or so ago. I won't give away who's in it, unless you catch the trailer. But it's in post production currently. We don't know if or how it will tie into Legacy. There's been talk of a rebooted sequel and there's been talk of it being a continuation. The only thing we do know is that it's based on a script that was written at the time this came out as an intended direct sequel to Legacy.
"This is the sun, this is the sky, here are some trees."
I lol'd. XD
Addie, you should have seen this is 3D in the theaters. With the huge subwoofers and cinema experience in 3D, it was epic. I have a 3D HDTV from 2012, and this movie is still epic. Surround Sound with a good subwoofer and 3D at home, it's awesome. You should also watch the making of the original Tron on TH-cam as well as the making of Tron Legacy.
Thx fot showing full movie 😂 i was thinking about how to watch full movie in easy way but in middle video arrived in my recommendation either reaction video or any other way finally arrived thx for video 😂
After jumping off of the Shangri-la tower (tallest building at the time), Sam lands on Burrard street across from a Tim Horton's that I'm at quite often ;)
In Vancouver?
Hugely underrated movie and soundtrack. Also..... Joseph Kosinski directed this movie and went on to direct Oblivion and Top Gun: Maverick. The entire scene of Gem and Sam entering the End of Line club was just awesome..... especially with the music.
This is one of many of Disney's own franchises that deserves more love! The story, characters, visuals, and score are top notch. I've never met someone who hasn't adored this movie!
clu did not go rogue, he followed a very open ended order in a way flynn didn't intend
I’ve been a Tron nerd since I was six in 1982.. This OG is my favorite film of all time along with Legacy. I was there during the whole Flynn Lives ARG and being at Hall H at SDCC when our voices were recorded for the film. I can’t wait for Tron:Ares which comes out soon.
It’s great to see others these days watching Tron today. It’s definitely one of the most eye candy technology ever made! Thanks for watching this film! #FlynnLives
As I’m watching, during the Flynn Lives ARG, it was as as hackers that helped give Alan the page, which helped opened the portal. It’s amazing how much the ARG and comics interacted with the film
The two DJ's in the End Of Line club that Zeus talks to are Daft Punk in a cameo.
Their name in the movie (MP3) was a nice touch.
The soundtrack album is on of my favourites to listen to while working.
real
My friend and I left this premier with tears in our eyes, was so good and the soundtrack was everything
You really hit it right on the nose when you said the music in this movie was going to be awesome Addie! It was composed by the electronic group “Daft Punk”, who frequently point to the original Tron movie as their inspiration for wanting to make their music! I used to play them on college radio before anyone knew who they were!
Thanks for reacting to this classic. I hear they are making another one. Can't wait!
I remember when they played the fake tron trailer in theaters to see how people would react. I was so hyped
Bless you. Bless you.
Wait for it ..
Bless you. 😊
I sneeze in threes as well. 🙂
@@KWHCoaster Mine tend to come in threes as well. 😅
Daft Punk. They scored the entire movie with original music...They are in the club scene as the DJs in the movie in case you didn't know Addie... If you don't know anything about Daft Punk and what music accomplishments they have... You outta look into it... 🤘🏼
Sam living in Dumont's old Garage where 'ENCOM' began was a really nice touch.
That wasn't the founder's garage. It was several shipping containers made into a garage/ home. The name Dumont on the container is an easter egg - the tower guardian's name in the game grid was Dumont.
@@timmooney7528 Don't remember the meeting in Dillinger's office?
@@terrylandess6072 Dillinger and Walter Gibbs had a conversation about how Gibbs started the company in his garage. Dillinger made the threat to put him back there. Dumont (Gibb's counterpart in the system) was the name for the tower guardian that allowed Tron to communicate with Alan1
@@timmooney7528 Yeah, I happened to see that film back in 82 when it released and have had various copies since then. I still don't get what this fuckin interrogation is about.
@@terrylandess6072 I got the impression the scene accentuates Dillinger and the MCP's pursuit of power is affecting the rest of the company's business and research. Gibbs is making it clear Dillinger isn't operating with the company's interests in mind.
Thank You for this one today, Addie💝and "Bless You" too!😂This is one of the Coolest Sequels Ever: improved upon the Original in every way, and it always leaves Me wanting MORE!👍Here's Hoping for the Third Movie...🤞
Love everything about this movie, from the Dude to the perfect and awesome aesthetic. But the sountrack is just pure bliss and voyage!
Best work Daft Punk ever delivered!
I don't know about a third movie, but there's a 10 min short film called "Tron Next Day" that came with the dvd of the movie.
"Daddy Flynn." Hahaha, cracks me up everytime you say it. lol
Good sequel 👌 There are a couple small things I would change, but overall very well done. Its also cool that much of the film was shot in Vancouver BC where I live.
Sam and Quorra ride the motorcycle across the lions gate bridge at the end as she see's her first sun rise.
Fun fact: lions Gate film studios who have made many well known movies. Such as American Psycho, Hunger games, and John Wick was named after that Bridge in Vancouver.
Hey Addie...Bless you, thrice!
- 21:44 - The composers of the score for Tron Legacy appear...Daft Punk.
- Michael Sheen (Castor) was a huge fan of the first film as a kid, so when he was offered the chance to be a part of this film, he JUMPED at it! I love his David Bowie-esque performance in the role.
- It was exciting to see Cillian Murphy as Ed Dillinger, Jr., even though it was just a glorified cameo. I think that there were plans that would have had Murphy play someone in the grid in a sequel, but the film didn't make enough to warrant an immediate sequel, so those plans were scrapped. Although, there is a new Tron film coming next year. Tron: Ares with Jared Leto, and Jeff Bridges will return as well *that was announced just a couple weeks ago).
- The clues to Rizler being Tron were there all the time. You never see Rinzler's face, but on his chest are four little boxes, three on top, one centered below (which is what was on Tron's chest in the first film). When Rinzler pins Sam, and sees the blood, it is Bruce Boxleitner's voice who says, "User!". When we see Tron in the flashback, he fights with two discs, like Rinzler. So, when Flynn recognized Rinzler as Tron...it makes sense.
- I loved this and wanted more, but the box office was not enough for Disney to do another at the time.
There is another Disney sci-fi film I think you need to see...John Carter (2012). Based on the novel A Princess of Mars by Edger Rice Burroughs (the same writer who created Tarzan). The film stars Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights and Gambit from X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Lynn Collins (Logan's girlfriend Kayla Silverfox in X-Men Origins), Willem Dafoe, Samamtha Morton, Mark Strong, Bryan Cranston, Dominic West, Daryl Sabara and directed by Andrew Stanton (Wall-E and Finding Nemo). It was a flop (even though he did make up it's budget at the box office), but it is a really fun adventure romance story...one that has inspired science fiction and comic book writers, artists, and filmmakers for over 100 years.
I play the soundtrack when I chill out. It’s one of my favorite scores.
Was this the first time where vfx were used to de-age an actor?
Also, the two DJs at the bar scene were actually the Daft Punk duo group, who created the music for the movie.
I've never bought a soundtrack for a movie so fast after leaving the theatre
Now that is how you do a segue. That alone would have earned a like. I not only like how they laid out the story, but even the small things like Dillingers kid being in the movie were nice touches.
Grew up watching the original cause of my dad and this one love them both and love tron legacy and love when Tron remembers and am still hoping for a day that they continue this world since the third has been put off for years now will have to watch this ater though cause am busy and want to see this on my laptop not my phone
BLESS YOU, BLESS YOU...... BLESS YOU.
The Daft Punk music made this movie great. It sucks they've broken up and wont do the next one.
Did you know there's a Tron animated tv show called
Tron Uprising ? Tron
Uprising is a 2012 stylized show that happens between Tron and Tron Uprising. The show is a little bit more for kids but that's because they needed to make it appropriate for Disney XD.
You can make a reaction video of the show episode by episode (obviously). The show won an Emmy award for animation. And it has 22 minutes episodes, aaand... it got cancelled.
I really love this movie. The whole thing sort of feels like a big choreographed dance - the way people and objects move and the music. And I LOVE Quorra.
This movie is criminally underrated and one of my favorites.
The name Gem is play on names carried over from the first movie. Digital Research created Graphics Environment Manager, a competitor for Windows in the mid 80's.
CLU was the name of a programming language which dates back to the early 70's. More modern uses of the name refers to command line users - the folk who process commands through the terminal versus the graphical environment.
I have adored this movie since the first time I saw it. I still very much love all the eye candy, clean visuals and sounds, characters, and THAT MUSIC! I always take a chance to re-watch this one. 😊
I loved this movie and I think it’s severely underrated. Daft Punk did a phenomenal job making the music for this movie.
3:43 Yes, Daft Punk deserved the Oscar they received for this soundtrack. When I heard that they were doing the soundtrack, I knew I had to see the movie.
edit - Sorry to say, but the third movie has been in production for over a decade. It's not likely it will ever happen.
"I fight for the users!" that bought a tear to my eye when Tron came back.
It is a visually beautiful film. And the soundtrack is off the chain amazing. It was a fantastic experience in theater.
Like Avatar, this was one of the relatively few movies actually filmed in 3D (versus being converted to 3D). It looked *AMAZING* at the theater.
Yes one of my favourite movies and a soundtrack I still listen to regularly to this day
I have a Tron Legacy pinball machine and it's awesome too. The first film will always be my fav but this one has some of the best CGI Ive seen.
Daft Punk’s soundtrack was absolutely brilliant. Fit the movie perfectly. They killed it.
Greetings program!
Easily one of my top ten fav movies! Glad you enjoyed it so much Addie! :)
To start off, you have the most adorable sneeze, Gesundheit, three times by the way!
This movie, the sequel, like the first leaves you with a lot of questions, and Disney had stated after the first there would be no sequel, and well lo and behold there was. After this movie was out Disney against stated there would be no prequel, and voila there will be, with a scheduled release date of October 10, 2025... that is all I will say about that for you.
I myself have happened to love this movie add answered a lot of questions from the first movie however, Cindy Morgan (Lora/Yori) as your seen was not in the movie, but Yori is still or was in the Universe of Tron.. . Unknown where and what she is doing. Cindy Morgan has since passed away (RIP), but Yori, her character is rumored to be in "Tron: Ares", (T-3), by an unknown actress...
While you wait for the next Tron, check out Tron: Uprising, an animated show with Elijah Wood voicing the main character. Saddly it was canceled, but it does have 20ish episodes
Fell in love with the original after seeing it in the cinema, and gotta say this is a brilliant sequel. I am cautiously hopeful for the next one, though the music is such a big part of this one (and my favorite genre), so I don't know if it will hit the same heights. Having experienced it several times irl I get chills when he powers up the arcade and all the games come to life... the sounds are dead accurate, I can almost name them! The other vivid memories that come washing back is being in a club with Sweet Dreams blasting, but muted due to walls. It was usually being in the bathroom and frantically making a dash for the dancefloor! I can hardly believe Zeus is the same person that is in Good Omens (highly recommended)
Greetings, Addie. Welcome back to the grid. TRON: Legacy (2010) was incredible indeed. This is also my all-time favorite live-action Disney movie. In fact, I like this movie a lot more than most of the Disney live-action remakes that came out in recent years. The VFX for this one really holds up better than the first film. I even own the IMAX version of the movie on Blu-ray with the aspect ratio switch being retained for seven scenes. Here's how the lightcycle sequence appeared in the IMAX version. th-cam.com/video/SqSuRdkglxM/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
TRON: Ares (2025) comes out in October of next year and that's gonna be my most anticipated Disney movie of 2025.
They will probably destroy it as another woke bs
I love how much un-answered stuff there is in the movie. They hint at Tron being saved when his lights turn back on as the light blue over the orange he had as Rinzler. I think that's part of what makes some movies so good, NOT explaining everything, and just letting us wonder.
I loved this movie when it came out and still do. It's not particularly complex but it's visually stunning and has an awesome soundtrack,
Olivia Wilde had never done martial arts before this movie, but her trainers were so impressed they suggested she keep doing it after the filming ends
#addiecounts# you are awesome tron was awesome to overcome his reconditioning to help flynn because he remembers to help his friend and he remembers helping flynn to get to victory to help free the grid and he knows and remembers from the grid with flynn getting injured in the first movie and seeing sam bled caused him to start remembering ❤❤❤your awesome addie
The movie that made me get a motorcycle license. Kid me had his jaw on the floor both on the opening sequence and the light cycle games
I saw this in theatres and it blew my mind. It made me want to be a filmmaker and a motion-capture actor. Now I’m writing my own scripts 😊 the Daft Punk soundtrack still lives on in my collection.
If you want more from this specific version of the universe, there's an animated TV series and a Visual Novel that expand things out and give more story. :)
Back in the 80’s after the original movie TRON..was released ..TRON the arcade game came out!..and I dropped many quarters into this game, I still miss playing it
The Tron arcade game in Flynn’s arcade is an actual 1980s Tron arcade game….I put a lot of quarters in that thing back in the day…. :)
God bless you for the sneezes. And yes Tron was a great movie...wish they had made more!
Hey Addy! Shout out from your favorite US Marine! This was one of my favorite films in the 80's! I didn't even hear of Tron Ares 2025 until I watched your review! Awesome. I can't wait until it comes out! And wasn't the scene in the beginning just so awesome when the guys like, "some kid owns the company" and he's like, "yeah, that's me!" And then continues to jump! So epic! I thought for sure he was gonna get away there! Had a few good twists in this movie too! Keep up the great reviews, kiddo! ❤🤍💙💛
Nice reaction Addie, this one is awesome and 28 years later we've come far with CGI and other effects. Great story line and good role for Olivia. Daft Punk's music was perfect.
Bless you, bless you, bless you Addie! Loved this movie, and am glad you had a great time watching it 😃 Quora's reaction at the end is awesome, love how they closed out that movie
The only part of the fx that may take you out of the experience is the de-aging done to Jeff Bridges (Flynn) at the beginning of the movie, but in the case of Clu it makes sense that he looks a bit strange because he's digital. However, in terms of story-telling, the series Tron Uprising is still leagues ahead, with a lot more characters, character development, and world-building.
Great movie, also love the original. I was in university taking my Computer Science degree and the original TRON blew us away. We grew up with "Pong", "Pac-Man", "Space Invaders", etc. for computer graphics. My 1982 TI-99/4A computer was just 256×192 pixels and 16 colours.
Yes, amazing what a few decades can do. It still mind-boggling to think of what my Nintendo Switch can do. The amount of data being processed / moved / displayed ...😮😮
The only disappointment after this movie, was Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" album. This movie's soundtrack had me psyched for their next album, wasn't for me.
I haven't seen the first one. Rented this one so I could watch her reaction. Worth it.
Clu did not go rogue, that's the "neat" part. Like you see in his creation phase he says "you will create the perfect system" when they housed the Iso's he asks "Do i still need to create the prefect system" since the Iso are an imperfection all he technically had to answer was "No", but since he answered "yes" he technically gave him the all green to purge all the imperfections and those that opposed the purge. Hence the "coup"
The Tron movies are so good, and I am happy to know they are working on a third one. I am going to have a hard time waiting another year and five months for the third one to release. At least I know it is happening YAY! I hope they have the same cast for Tron: Ares.
Bravo Addie, T:L is one of the most underrated movies of all time!
If you want to see a little more there's a Disney XD show called Tron uprising is animated and it shows everything that happened between the movies.
The Trump 3 movie is known as Tron Ar3s he's the new protagonist in his play by Jared Leto.
I know the ideas in this film were a little thin at times. I know it tried for Matrix-level philosophy and didn't quite hit the mark between fun and deep. But there were some genuinely heartfelt moments in this that the original didn't have. The core plot of Sam trying to find his dad was a better throughline than the original. And I think CLU was a bit more menacing of a villain than the MCP from a genuine consequences standpoint. Although I do love Dillinger/Sark as the villains of the first film. Not to mention the score is miles better in this one. The visuals are of course better, but if I consider the visuals of when this film was made to the visuals in reference to when the original was made, they wash pretty well.
Overall, I think undue expectations outdid this. Tron has a nostalgia that this couldn't compete with. Even if the original film isn't really that good either except from technical wow factors and Jeff Bridges being excellent. I even remember people knocking this movie saying Bridges was channeling The Dude too much, completely missing that Kevin Flynn was The Dude way before The Big Lebowski anyways. And yes, this film was mostly just setpiece to setpiece. But knocking this film for that while praising the original is a bit hypocritical of people, I think. I have a blast with this movie and have seen it a half a dozen times since it was released.
