I don't care what the critics say. This movie is amazing. The technology, cgi, and de aging stuff might be a little dated now, but it still looks good. And it's a shame Daft Punk never got an award for their work in this.
It's really good, they kind of leave a lot open but that's because they were planning on making a trilogy, or at the very least a sequel. I think a lot of the effects still hold up today, I think it's to do with the set design and lighting. They designed real sets to overlay CGI on top of it. It's nice when creatives recognize that we need something tangible to feel anything. (George Lucas and the Prequels are still AWFUL.) The de-aging stuff was ahead of its time and is very noticable. It was noticeable then, it's even more so now.
@@nicholasdeporto5257Where you see that? Because the frist Tron movie came out in 1982, this came out 2010, also I bet the frist movie did better than this one, not 100% sure, but have Tron in a movie called Tron helps.
The word "Underrated" is misused today the same way "literally" is - but TRON Legacy Is legit, literally one of the most Underrated(And overlooked)films ever.
It’s crazy to think that this was Joseph Kosinski’s directorial debut. I SERIOUSLY need Disney to release a 4K Blu-ray of this like NOW as well as one for the original film! Kosinski said that he recently just did a new 4K transfer/remaster of it but sources are saying it’s gonna be only on streaming and digital.
@@coscrupi yeah. Hopefully before they release that new Tron movie they’re making with Jared Leto. It’s so far my most anticipated one for Disney to do on the format. As long as they don’t manage to fuck it up, we’re golden.
This movie is phenomenal. My dad has memories of his 7 year old self seeing the OG in theaters, and he took my 9 year old self to Legacy in theaters back in 2010. Tron holds a special place in my heart. I can't wait for Tron 3. EDIT: This score by Daft Punk is one of my top 15 movie scores of all time. I love it.
That's wholesome. 🥰 Also one of my top favorite movie scores. Alongside with The Fountain, LOTR of course and a few themes. Moon perhaps, I love Clint Mansell a lot... But also stuff like Lady In The Water and The Village are worth at least listening to the soundtrack....
19:10 He entered a command to see a list of the last commands, then he re-entered the last command of that list. He didn't know it would activate the laser.
To this day, TRON Legacy is the only movie that has ever been so elevated by having 3D that it was actually worth the few extra dollars. It genuinely improved the movie and had zero negative impacts. Also, Check out Shamook’s re-edits of the de-aging using deep fakes. It looks so much cleaner!
I also think it's funny how people are waiting for Daft punk to enter the soundtrack when they don't realize that they're in the entire soundtrack. And they helped compose it with the classical instruments too
Legacy looked pretty bad when it came out IMO with the de-aging (although the other effects were good). I never felt OG Tron looked dated as it's feel is very consistent and cartoony like a video game but that could just be my rose colored glasses since it was a favorite as a child in the 80s. :)
Underrated movie imo. I watched it in the theater because I am a massive Daft Punk fan. I couldn't believe they could also make film music, until I saw it. 😅 I was so blown away, this movie became my #1 all time favorite movie for a short while, until I reconsidered and The Fountain re-claimed the throne....
If you Listen to Rinzler's voice.....You can clearly hear Tron speaking. Most people don't realize it en Listen for it. They just edited his voice a bit.
It's so funny because every time they play that clip of the drop of blood with Rinzler saying "User..." I think to myself, surely they'll recognize that it's Tron's voice! But even people who make the realization before Flynn does almost always figure it out when Tron ends up with two discs.
LOVE THIS MOVIE as far as CGI Jeff Bridges goes it’s obviously a failed attempt BUT… it lends itself to the fakeness of CLU and the fact that he is a program and will never grow and live up to Flynn. Really wonderful stuff in this movie. Also this is my #1 favorite movie score of ALL TIME
Fun fact: at 23:52 when the crowd is chanting "DISC WARS!", they actually had a panel for the movie in like 2008-2009 at a Comic Con. And they got all the people that were there to chant DISC WARS and RINZLER!! So all the crowd noise for the arena battle was from actual ComicCon attendees.
Robot Rock! I love Tron and Tron Legacy so much! Visually both stunning! Both have highly interesting concepts and themes on humanity and the reliance on technological advancements.
RIP Daft Punk 😭😭😭 At least they're still contributing to music in production with other artists and properties (Travis Scott, new Salvador Dali soundtrack)
1:04:38 "I fight for the Users" That line hits me so hard. My first exposure to Tron was from Kingdom Hearts 2 and I didn't see the original movie until years after that. But that single line of introduction, "That's Tron. Fights for the Users" stuck with me, especially after seeing just how likable Tron is the rest of the movie. Seeing him regaining himself just to self-sacrifice is so bittersweet.
Saw this in imax when I was 17 or 18 and it blew my mind. From the opening score and title sequence to the light bike scene, my eyes were glued to the theatre screen the entire time
Tron legacy doesn't have nostalgia helping to hold things together like the first movie but I think legacy can stand on it's own two feet. It's a good addition to the tron universe and expands it beyond what the first movie gave us, it was also the first movie to use the de-aging technology beyond a single shot. Plus it also has one of the best soundtracks for a movie.
Andrew and John need to do a buddy cop movie comedy. The thing I love about Tron Legacy is that this film shows how tech advanced from the first and the next one will show how things have advanced from this film. The facial cgi tech now is miles ahead of where this film was, much cleaner, much tighter, more realistic. I wanted a Tron suit so bad when this movie hit, I almost made one from a wetsuit and bmx biker armor. It’s cool that the Tron Uprising the cartoon gives more about what happened on the grid after this movie, a new evil rises up to take Clu’s place but I don’t know if it’s canon. Tron survives the fall and starts a rebellion but he’s damaged, Clu really f’cked him up,. He has a permanent degradation of his program that manifests as a slow derezz of his body, he recruits Elijah Woods to be the new Tron, a beacon to bring the population to the rebellion and he trains him. The culling of the Isos is covered in the cartoon, so we get to see that she’s not the “only” survivor, some got away and are out there in the wilderness. It was good but Disney didn’t support it like they should have and it ended too quick. I love this movie, I saw the first one four years before I graduated high school and it was ground breaking, I can’t only imagine what the next film will bring to the table, hopefully Flynn lives 😎
Fun fact, I seen this movie 6 times in theater. Once with my mom, then my dad, then twice with my best friend. And twice by myself. I also own the special edition on Bluray that came with a light up LED disc and I believe the first movie.
When they say that Seconds in the Real Worlds is days in The Grid, you realize that for Flynn, he's been trapped for closer to 2000 years from his perspective.
One thing I like is when Sam came into the real world at the end and meets Alan, Alan is standing in front of the Defender, the video game that really got me into video games way back in the day.
Yes the laser trick does work on lower grade cameras. I work for a security company and have had customers call me wanting to switch because their house was broken into and cameras messed up with a laser. I doubt however that a company like ENCOM would use these cheap cameras lol.
This moive actually help developed the modern LED stripes and defuser materials for the costumes as they were having problems with larger LEDS being to noticeable so they had to go smaller with more of them to get a nice solid glow. Also at the time it had the record for the most foam suits made for a movie
Disney is going back to Tron now that Star Wars and Marvel are struggling financially. Tron Legacy didn't get a sequel because Disney had just acquired Star Wars, which replaced the need for Tron. I really hope Tron 3 isn't just a cash grab, but actually has a compelling story/characters, groundbreaking visuals, and music like this movie.
When the movie works, characters and visuals and sound come together, sync up and create an unbelievable, almost magical cinematic rhythm unlike anything.
I just rewatched this movie a couple days ago because they're releasing a new Tron movie and man this still did not disappoint for how old this movie is. The soundtrack is amazing and so are all the visual effects. This movie was great when I saw it ten years ago and still good now.
33:18 there was actually a video game tie in to this movie! It was meant as a prequel of events before Legacy and from what I remember it gave a little more lore into the ISOs and details about CLUs betrayal. Although I don’t remember if it was good or bad it’s been a long time.
You might be talking about Tron Legacy which came out several years before this movie. The game was great, though! Watching this reaction made me want to replay it.
5:56 - Different character. Lora (Cindy Morgan's character from the first film) married Alan sometime after the events of the first film (and though she is not present in the film, she was in the Flynn Lives ARG, having shared the stage with Alan during the San Francisco Comic Con event that was staged there. In fact, if you look up "flynn lives, san francisco comic con", you'll find the two part video for the Encom press conference set up for it). After the events of the first film, Flynn met and married a woman name Jordan Canas. She is mostly discussed in the Flynn Lives ARG. She was an architect and designed the ENCOM Tower seen in the film. I think she was also present in the Marvel Comics tie-in TRON: Betrayal. Jordan died in a car crash in 1985, leaving Flynn widowed and Sam without a mom. She was portrayed by Amy Esterle (mostly seen in pictures in the ARG and seen briefly in footage in the film). The Flynn Lives ARG was pretty awesome at world building (and sets it up where the reason why CLU's page to Alan's pager was due to the Flynn Lives group reconnecting a telephone line to Flynn's Arcade), and I think there's still some videos about the ARG (I know that some footage of the ARG was used in the short film TRON: The Next Day, which was meant to set up the third TRON film that was in the works before Disney killed it. The third film in production now may not have any connection to T:L, and Bruce Boxleitner outright stated that he wasn't going to come back for any TRON related projects due to Disney throwing TRON fans under the bus for Star Wars. This was back when Disney had purchased LucasFilms, so it's hard to know if Bruce has had a change of heart or not). ADDITIONAL EDIT: The Grandpa is also known as Doc Cottle from Battlestar Galactica (2003, 2004-2009). ADDITIONAL EDIT 2: Yes, there is a video game tie-in. It's called TRON: Evolution. It tells the story of the night Flynn went to the Grid after the opening scene, and details CLU's betrayal and wiping out the ISOs. Olivia Wilde reprises her role in the game (and you play the System Monitor, who is the program that saved her that she mentions in the film).
It's wild to me this is 14 years old, I was just about that age when I saw this in theaters and would pay to see a continuation in a heartbeat.. I still listen to this soundtrack every so often
Honestly, the more I watch this movie the more I love it. The father/son relationship really gets to me. Much more emotional than people give it credit for.
Fun fact.. They did in fact get David Warner (RIP) back for a cameo voiceover in some deleted footage where his son is chatting with him and he is seemingly one with the MCP.. He even speaks in the same computerized voice and says "End of line" :)
I was 7 when "Tron" came out, and I love these films! I never listen to the critics, because the critics don't know shit! This has allowed me watch some amazing, under the radar, awesome films and really enjoy them. I enjoyed this reaction Guys! ❤
So glad y'all got to watching Legacy! It's my favorite movie of all time and is a constant source of creative inspiration in my life. The lack of world-exploration y'all were talking about concerning Quorra actually gets fairly fleshed out in the Uprising series! I highly recommend watching it if y'all want to learn more about the goings-on inside the Grid. Plus, it's an absolutely STUNNING animated series scored by the same composer as Legacy, Joseph Trapanese (who often gets overlooked concerning TRON.) Fair warning, it ends on a cliffhanger as Disney sabotaged its release schedule and cancelled any further seasons (for now!)
I am a huge fan of the original. When this came out, I remember seeing it in theaters. At the time, the de-aging was incredible for that time. We didn't really see that kind of CGI at the time. Sure, now it looks incredible today what they can do, but this was awesome when it came out. Aside from the de-aging, I think the entire world inside the computer was amazing looking! We'll see what the next one is going to be like with Leto.
He didn’t know what he was doing in the secret room in the arcade. He was pressing buttons and answering prompts to see what it was. The whole part where he was surprised to be on the grid was because it was indeed a surprise. And his dad didn’t just tell him that story once. The posters. Toys. Video game. It was well known pop culture and what his dad was known for.
Been waiting for this! This is the one disney dropped the ball on....a sequel to this with M83 as the producer, and set in the real world more, with a return to the digital frontier....I mean the door is open to return to this without any Marvel influences
I saw this movie in theaters when I was 13, this movie truly transcended how I listen to scores. It’s what MADE me interested in scores, I always loved music but the Tron legacy soundtrack Shook the theatre. It’s so fucking badass. All of it.
The most underrated move of all time i freaking love this movie and daft punks soundttrack makes this movie yeah digital bridges doesnt age well but it was the first implementation of de aging using visual and it laid the foundation to what disney and other companies can do with it besides that the visuals of this movie are ahead of that time
Gotta say, for a long time I’d only thought of James Frain (the henchman) as an actor who plays villains. Then I saw him as Sarek on Star Trek: Discovery. He was pretty good as a Vulcan
I saw this movie in 3D in middle school and it was one of the most fun movie-going experiences I have ever had. I secretly hope they fix the CG and re-release it in theaters because I just think it’s so much fun.
Fun fact DAFT PUNK is the entire soundtrack from start of the movie to the end literally Sam escaping the police it’s daft punk playing and in the games also
There was a Tron: Evolution game for 360 & PS3 and the Multiplayer was awesome Disney also produced a cartoon, set before the movie, called Tron Uprising and it's so underrated
Lucky enough to see this in iMax 3D and own the rare 3D bluray of it. It is that final icing layer to an already insanely well made cake. *Also yes there is a tie in game that serves as an prequel, and a series that kinda all over place.
Went to see this in 3D when it came out. The film was regular 2D until Sam went into the grid, at which point it went full on 3D. It was absolutely glorious.
Most underrated movie I can think of. It was a sequel that didn't just copy the original and has its own identity. I can't think of anything that looks or sounds like it, even in the Cyberpunk genre.
There is a fairly short series called Tron Uprising starring Elijah Wood. I think you guys would enjoy reacting to it or watching it on your own time. It really gives us a fantastic glimpse into what it's like to live on the grid.
Daft Punk crafted the best movie soundtrack that year. The Oscars deemed them unworthy to be nominated. They will have my ire forever, i spit on the entire institution.
My parents watched the original in theaters, watched Legacy with me in theaters, and then we rented the original so I could see it, to then rewatch Legacy And then there was the tv show, Uprising, to boot Visuals still hold to this day, de-aging aside
I was so hyped for this movie when it was coming out. Went to see it in theaters. And loved the absolute crap out of it. I never understood why it got so much hate. Also the cartoon that had Elijah Wood as the lead voice was so so so good. It has some of the backstory and world building you’re looking for. Like the origin of the ISOs
37:15 damn that's a cool pitch for a TRON game... the one that came out around the time of the movies was pretty good but with how much games have evolved it'd be insane now.

The cgi is great bar the deaging
I fucking love this movie
It's really good, they kind of leave a lot open but that's because they were planning on making a trilogy, or at the very least a sequel.
I think a lot of the effects still hold up today, I think it's to do with the set design and lighting. They designed real sets to overlay CGI on top of it. It's nice when creatives recognize that we need something tangible to feel anything. (George Lucas and the Prequels are still AWFUL.)
The de-aging stuff was ahead of its time and is very noticable. It was noticeable then, it's even more so now.

CLU’s bad CGI actually works because he was the ONLY program that was a copy 😉
CLU does not have bad CGI. It was only when the mouth moved. Everything else is fine.
As established in the first movie, _all_ programs look like the user that wrote them. It's not just CLU.
Yeah honestly the video game like cgi works for me.

Y'all should watch the Tron Uprising TV series. It takes place right before this film and it's INCREDIBLE.
That series is so underrated! Loved that show
I didn't even know that existed!
I’ve seen that show more than 10 times it’s one of the greatest animated shows ever
What’s it called
@@angelnegrete4163 TRON Uprising
I think the de-aging is unfortunate for the real world scenes but makes sense for the digital world because it is supposed to be a digital copy.
Overall that’s exactly why I don’t mind the de aging.
To this day, TRON Legacy is the only movie that has ever been so elevated by having 3D that it was actually worth the few extra dollars. It genuinely improved the movie and had zero negative impacts.
Also, Check out Shamook’s re-edits of the de-aging using deep fakes. It looks so much cleaner!
Um, ever heard of _Avatar_ 😅
I also think it's funny how people are waiting for Daft punk to enter the soundtrack when they don't realize that they're in the entire soundtrack. And they helped compose it with the classical instruments too
It's funny because both of the tron movies had technology that felt advanced for its time, but was over time, dated. Still love both the movies.
Tron: legacy's cgi 100% definitely is not dated. Looks better than a lot of cgi today honestly
@@candycorn4912be fr bro 💀
How tf does Tron Legacy look dated? Movie looks better than the new $300 million budget movies.
Legacy looked pretty bad when it came out IMO with the de-aging (although the other effects were good). I never felt OG Tron looked dated as it's feel is very consistent and cartoony like a video game but that could just be my rose colored glasses since it was a favorite as a child in the 80s. :)
It’s just the de-aging Jeff bridges that’s out dated. Everything else still looks amazing
Underrated movie imo. I watched it in the theater because I am a massive Daft Punk fan. I couldn't believe they could also make film music, until I saw it. 😅 I was so blown away, this movie became my #1 all time favorite movie for a short while, until I reconsidered and The Fountain re-claimed the throne....
Crazy how well this movie holds up. You could release it today and no one would bat an eye.
I mean maybe the de aging but obviously with time it would’ve been better. Other than that the visuals hold up.
If you Listen to Rinzler's voice.....You can clearly hear Tron speaking. Most people don't realize it en Listen for it. They just edited his voice a bit.

Saw this in imax when I was 17 or 18 and it blew my mind. From the opening score and title sequence to the light bike scene, my eyes were glued to the theatre screen the entire time

Tron legacy doesn't have nostalgia helping to hold things together like the first movie but I think legacy can stand on it's own two feet. It's a good addition to the tron universe and expands it beyond what the first movie gave us, it was also the first movie to use the de-aging technology beyond a single shot.

Glad you got to dive into the Tron universe! It's one of the most underrated creations. Thanks for the awesome content!

When they say that Seconds in the Real Worlds is days in The Grid, you realize that for Flynn, he's been trapped for closer to 2000 years from his perspective.
So excited to see John and Andrew react to this movie! The Daft Punk soundtrack for this movie is so awesome! 👍
This was in the theaters in 3D, btw. It was fantastic!
I had this on bluray 3d and it IS amazing in 3d. I wish I could find it, lol...
i watched this in the cinema when it came out and my god the sound track is so god damn legendary, gotta love daftpunk for doing all of it
One thing I like is when Sam came into the real world at the end and meets Alan, Alan is standing in front of the Defender, the video game that really got me into video games way back in the day.

I really hope its a sequel to legacy and no some reboot or random story starring Jared Leto. Hope it stays connected.
This is unironically one of my favourite movies. The atmosphere and aesthetic is just so cool.
This movie still holds up till date despite the wacky de-aging and CGI. Daft Punk killed it. So good.
One of the shipping containers on Flynn jr's house had the word Dumont on it. Dumont was the name of the tower guardian in the first Tron film
Everytime the background score hits.... Literally chills!
Still don't understand how this hasn't been released on 4k bluray
It has been, I own the 3D Blu Ray
@@codyt821 That's not 4K. However, the director of Tron 3 and Joseph Kosinski have both confirmed that a 4K HDR remaster is on the way.
When the movie works, characters and visuals and sound come together, sync up and create an unbelievable, almost magical cinematic rhythm unlike anything.
I just rewatched this movie a couple days ago because they're releasing a new Tron movie and man this still did not disappoint for how old this movie is. The soundtrack is amazing and so are all the visual effects. This movie was great when I saw it ten years ago and still good now.
33:18 there was actually a video game tie in to this movie! It was meant as a prequel of events before Legacy and from what I remember it gave a little more lore into the ISOs and details about CLUs betrayal. Although I don’t remember if it was good or bad it’s been a long time.
You might be talking about Tron Legacy which came out several years before this movie. The game was great, though! Watching this reaction made me want to replay it.
@@Ass4ssinX it was called Tron Evolution I think actually. It’s the only Tron game I know of anyway.
I personally give the de-aging a pass since this was the first time it was ever done; plus, the rest of the cgi is AMAZING :D
5:56 - Different character. Lora (Cindy Morgan's character from the first film) married Alan sometime after the events of the first film (and though she is not present in the film, she was in the Flynn Lives ARG, having shared the stage with Alan during the San Francisco Comic Con event that was staged there. In fact, if you look up "flynn lives, san francisco comic con", you'll find the two part video for the Encom press conference set up for it). After the events of the first film, Flynn met and married a woman name Jordan Canas. She is mostly discussed in the Flynn Lives ARG. She was an architect and designed the ENCOM Tower seen in the film. I think she was also present in the Marvel Comics tie-in TRON: Betrayal. Jordan died in a car crash in 1985, leaving Flynn widowed and Sam without a mom. She was portrayed by Amy Esterle (mostly seen in pictures in the ARG and seen briefly in footage in the film). The Flynn Lives ARG was pretty awesome at world building (and sets it up where the reason why CLU's page to Alan's pager was due to the Flynn Lives group reconnecting a telephone line to Flynn's Arcade), and I think there's still some videos about the ARG (I know that some footage of the ARG was used in the short film TRON: The Next Day, which was meant to set up the third TRON film that was in the works before Disney killed it. The third film in production now may not have any connection to T:L, and Bruce Boxleitner outright stated that he wasn't going to come back for any TRON related projects due to Disney throwing TRON fans under the bus for Star Wars. This was back when Disney had purchased LucasFilms, so it's hard to know if Bruce has had a change of heart or not).
ADDITIONAL EDIT: The Grandpa is also known as Doc Cottle from Battlestar Galactica (2003, 2004-2009).
ADDITIONAL EDIT 2: Yes, there is a video game tie-in. It's called TRON: Evolution. It tells the story of the night Flynn went to the Grid after the opening scene, and details CLU's betrayal and wiping out the ISOs. Olivia Wilde reprises her role in the game (and you play the System Monitor, who is the program that saved her that she mentions in the film).
The “I aint a part of this system. I’m an adult” cot me off guard and made me relive a memory I had long forgotten. Thanks
You're guys gonna watch Tron Uprising animated series, it's a best TV series ever after Tron Legacy!👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It is truly a shame how this series has remained untouched throughout the years.
It's wild to me this is 14 years old, I was just about that age when I saw this in theaters and would pay to see a continuation in a heartbeat.. I still listen to this soundtrack every so often
Thank fuck that there’s talks about a 3rd gonna be in development. Can’t wait to see what happens
Honestly, the more I watch this movie the more I love it. The father/son relationship really gets to me. Much more emotional than people give it credit for.
Fun fact.. They did in fact get David Warner (RIP) back for a cameo voiceover in some deleted footage where his son is chatting with him and he is seemingly one with the MCP.. He even speaks in the same computerized voice and says "End of line" :)
The envy to be able to watch this for the first time again, you are lucky
I was 7 when "Tron" came out, and I love these films! I never listen to the critics, because the critics don't know shit! This has allowed me watch some amazing, under the radar, awesome films and really enjoy them. I enjoyed this reaction Guys! ❤
Criminally underrated movie! Never got its flowers when it was released, never tire of watching this
So glad y'all got to watching Legacy! It's my favorite movie of all time and is a constant source of creative inspiration in my life. The lack of world-exploration y'all were talking about concerning Quorra actually gets fairly fleshed out in the Uprising series! I highly recommend watching it if y'all want to learn more about the goings-on inside the Grid. Plus, it's an absolutely STUNNING animated series scored by the same composer as Legacy, Joseph Trapanese (who often gets overlooked concerning TRON.) Fair warning, it ends on a cliffhanger as Disney sabotaged its release schedule and cancelled any further seasons (for now!)
This was incredible to watch on a BIG cinema screen in 3D... backed up by a phenomenal soundtrack from Daft Punk.
Amazing 👍
50:48
A bit of my Tron headcanon: The Cult of Resistance was a group of fanatical monks. I can still hear their mantra: "ohmmm ohmmmmmm"
I don't understand why this movie didn't do well in theaters. I was fortunate to be able to watch this movie in IMAX 3D and was blown away.
Clu, the rizzler himself, coming in with the walk of drip. Absolutely legendary.
I am a huge fan of the original. When this came out, I remember seeing it in theaters. At the time, the de-aging was incredible for that time. We didn't really see that kind of CGI at the time. Sure, now it looks incredible today what they can do, but this was awesome when it came out. Aside from the de-aging, I think the entire world inside the computer was amazing looking! We'll see what the next one is going to be like with Leto.
He didn’t know what he was doing in the secret room in the arcade. He was pressing buttons and answering prompts to see what it was. The whole part where he was surprised to be on the grid was because it was indeed a surprise. And his dad didn’t just tell him that story once. The posters. Toys. Video game. It was well known pop culture and what his dad was known for.
I always get goosebumps when Tron turns back to blue.
Been waiting for this! This is the one disney dropped the ball on....a sequel to this with M83 as the producer, and set in the real world more, with a return to the digital frontier....I mean the door is open to return to this without any Marvel influences
Tron Legacy is way better than it is given credit for!
I saw this movie in theaters when I was 13, this movie truly transcended how I listen to scores. It’s what MADE me interested in scores, I always loved music but the Tron legacy soundtrack Shook the theatre. It’s so fucking badass. All of it.
The most underrated move of all time i freaking love this movie and daft punks soundttrack makes this movie yeah digital bridges doesnt age well but it was the first implementation of de aging using visual and it laid the foundation to what disney and other companies can do with it besides that the visuals of this movie are ahead of that time
Gotta say, for a long time I’d only thought of James Frain (the henchman) as an actor who plays villains. Then I saw him as Sarek on Star Trek: Discovery. He was pretty good as a Vulcan
FYI, the bartender in the End of Line Club is actually Steven Lisberger, who co-created and directed the original Tron.
2:45 Incredible! Absolutely incredible! Love this Disney opening with Tron! 🙏🏽💪
I saw this movie in 3D in middle school and it was one of the most fun movie-going experiences I have ever had. I secretly hope they fix the CG and re-release it in theaters because I just think it’s so much fun.
Really surprised me that this was never an MMO. The setting seems perfect for one, especially around the era of the amazing animated show they did.
I STILL listen to this soundtrack.
"I fight for the users" - The only way to make the movie popular
Critics can say whatever they want, to me this is one of the most criminally underrated movie of all time
Fun fact DAFT PUNK is the entire soundtrack from start of the movie to the end literally Sam escaping the police it’s daft punk playing and in the games also
Until They Broke Up In 2021
@@Kovy2003 you had to remind me :(
There was a Tron: Evolution game for 360 & PS3 and the Multiplayer was awesome Disney also produced a cartoon, set before the movie, called Tron Uprising and it's so underrated
I feel like I'm tripping from the CGI everytime I see Clu..Trinity....Help!!!😂😂
Lucky enough to see this in iMax 3D and own the rare 3D bluray of it. It is that final icing layer to an already insanely well made cake.
*Also yes there is a tie in game that serves as an prequel, and a series that kinda all over place.
The very rare, standing Tron disk game, under plastic, beside the Tron game.
Went to see this in 3D when it came out. The film was regular 2D until Sam went into the grid, at which point it went full on 3D. It was absolutely glorious.
I love Jeff Bridges lol.
"Am I still to create the perfect system?"
"... Yeah.."
54:32 Damn you John.... I WAS DRINKING!
I’m so happy you guys watched this!!!! It’s my favorite movie of all time!!!
I just noticed now that Tron is a young version of Alan, also love how Tron realizes he can dual wield discs pretty cool
Most underrated movie I can think of. It was a sequel that didn't just copy the original and has its own identity. I can't think of anything that looks or sounds like it, even in the Cyberpunk genre.
kinda strange how big react youtubers react to the same movies days apart from each other
There is a fairly short series called Tron Uprising starring Elijah Wood. I think you guys would enjoy reacting to it or watching it on your own time. It really gives us a fantastic glimpse into what it's like to live on the grid.
grew up watching the original cause of my dad and of this and love this one and love when Tron comes back and say's he fights for the user
Daft Punk crafted the best movie soundtrack that year. The Oscars deemed them unworthy to be nominated. They will have my ire forever, i spit on the entire institution.
My parents watched the original in theaters, watched Legacy with me in theaters, and then we rented the original so I could see it, to then rewatch Legacy
And then there was the tv show, Uprising, to boot
Visuals still hold to this day, de-aging aside
I was so hyped for this movie when it was coming out. Went to see it in theaters. And loved the absolute crap out of it. I never understood why it got so much hate.
Also the cartoon that had Elijah Wood as the lead voice was so so so good. It has some of the backstory and world building you’re looking for. Like the origin of the ISOs
37:15 damn that's a cool pitch for a TRON game... the one that came out around the time of the movies was pretty good but with how much games have evolved it'd be insane now.
