Wow. Just wow

In my opinion the story wasn't that bad

the entire film, i kept asking "where do digital pigs come from?"

Kevin Flynn has magic, obv.

Pig simulations, like everything else on the Grid. ^.^

The Grid is just cyberpunk Minecraft

hahahahahahaa

Amen to that soul sista.

eyegasms everywhere in the movie, and in this picture too! UGH YOU INSPIRE ME, QUIT IT

NO NEVER
*jumps off a building for no reason*

Yey, someone who's actually watched the original! n.n

IM AFRAID IM GOING TO HAVE TO PUT YOU ON THE GAME GRID.....












....END OF LINE

oh woooow @___@

I really like your redesign of the MCP. Of course, in this movie, Clu WAS, for all intents and purposes, the MCP: unkillable by any normal means and freakishly powerful when he chose to show it. He just was mobile.

But the 'spirit' of the MCP was there. This pic's a beautiful illustration of that.

Having Clu go evil* was just freakin random to me though. Like "we need a villain, who of the original cast can we corrupt?"

*not a spoiler folks, the instant you see him it's revealed

Well, he was pretty much following his programming, which was put into place by a snotnosed young CEO, even if he was an IDEALISTIC snotnosed young CEO. Rather like HAL, he got caught into the dissonance and went nutters.

(Of course, his choice to fill the Sark role was what really cemented it, and I WON'T spoil that in the comments).

True, but the story direction was just so...vague on that. "And then he became evil" is basically what happened and it's like "why? where's his inner conflict? what was so bad about the ISOs? How did he define perfect? How is this city perfect? " Just a lot of characterization was kinda thrown aside for him and other characters in order to fit the movie into a certain timeframe. Cool ideas, awkward execution. Would've liked more reference to the current tech climate we find ourselves in today. Imagine things like social networks and wireless interfaces playing a part in the sequel. Things that simply didn't exist during the original's inception. The original played with the computering concepts of its time, but this new one kinda dropped the ball in favor of some stock fantastic racism. Don't get me wrong, I think there's some gold there, but I really felt like the story could've been truly epic if they'd spent a little bit more money hiring a better writer and less on de-aging effects.

No argument about the better writer. They DID try and bring the Pixar writing team in to tweak the script. It wasn't nearly enough. They needed Lasseter's boys to just do the whole damn thing from scratch, but too much if it had been filmed/rendered by then to do it.

As for Clu and his definition of 'perfect', it pretty much was 'what *I* can easily control.' Just as a CEO would, even the best-intentioned one. The ISOs were sentient beings, outside of easy control, so he squashed them like bugs.

And the Grid was kept OFF the Internet quite deliberately. That was mentioned, and it was a really good idea in hindsight, natch...what if Clu just connected the Grid to the *outside* world? It'd have spread like metastatic cancer, and once it hit our military computer systems, well, oops.

All that being said, I agree: enormous amounts of characterization were glossed over. Making Quorra into nothing more then a living MacGuffin was a HUGE amount of story just chucked out the airlock. I like eye candy and fanservice as much as the next moviegoer, but if the ENTIRE MOVIE is just a whole series of fanservices holding hands...that's just patronizing.

Quorra was a missed opportunity.

I actually hope it does well enough to warrant a sequel because the underlying ideas are solid enough that you could still write more on everything without destroying the established continuity. And I'm positive the Pixar writers would be all over that shit; they're all major geeks there and Lassetter himself adores Tron. Watching it as is, I get the feeling that a LOT was simply taken out for time. Entire subplots are just dropped in favor of getting to the end faster. Castern especially. They need more of that guy. And I can't believe a guy that well established would just up and *spoiler don't follow if you don't want it

























*got blown up. What a bitch way to die for the only REALLY likeable character in the whole film. Quorra I felt could've been more likeable simply cause the actress had a lot of charisma and did a lot with the little she was given. She just wasn't given enough. Thank god they didn't go for the cheap copout romantic ending though. I would've left that film pissed off if they did the obligatory kiss.

Yes, Castor's story (and why he also went nutters) was completely glossed over. So was Clu and pretty much everyone else.

The story would have almost been better to have been told anime-style. Just chuck the audience in the middle of the universe and let the characters do all the heavy lifting from there.

As for sequel, it may well. It made almost $50 million domestically in it's first weekend, a number approaching Avatar's take. While it'll never make what Avatar made, if it makes it to $300 million overall, I think a sequel is inevitable.

I have a feeling it might do better internationally. And unlike Avatar, I'm inclined to get this on DVD when it comes out. The 3D was amazing and the best used 3D since Avatar and HTTYD (using the 3D to illustrate the difference between the real world and digital world was great) but I could still watch this film in 2D and enjoy it just as much. Avatar, much less so.

Gem or whatever her name was's ass was better in 3D, and so were a lot of things BUT 2D isnt bad at all.

Anyways, the story and plot and characters could have used more yes. I wanted to have more of the ISOs and castor and Tron/eviltron backstories in there.. less Zen, less fancy fights, more characters ya know?? Sure its all nice, but heck we dont mind long movies.. srsly.

Oh well ;_;

I did feel the end could have used much more too ._. sigh, was very disappoint in that. But hey..maybe its actually made to open for a sequel? -crosses fingers- >.> like how he copied the tron world onto that thingy around his neck <.<

BIT! I was hoping they'd bring him back too. xD Aw he was so cute. At least he made a.. sort of cameo lmao.
Albino Jack Sparrow? Damn I missed that!
Agreed though, I loved this movie!

Flynn kept what looked like dead Bits around. I wanted the thing to wake up and kick the living shit out of Clu's men somehow. They needn't change its look even. Chromify it maybe, but otherwise Bit is perfect.

Castor was Jack Sparrow guy. He just...went nutso and started RANDOMLY SHOOTING THINGS and playing air guitar on his cane. Why? BECAUSE FUCK YEAH.

YEAH I was thinking that too while watching it.. I was like OMG BIT. WAKE UP AND BUUURRN HIIIMM. xDDD
OH I GET IT LMAO. Thought you meant like a cameo or something! LoL. Oh that totally makes sense. I LOVE IT. XDDDD

SPOILER

Jarvis's defect at the end was the only thing that pissed me off. It was like, "we can't be bothered to put a fight scene here. Let's make this reeeeeeeally easy for Flynn."
Otherwise, I found myself severely geeked over this movie. Plot-wise, no, it doesn't stand up among the best. But it had enough sentimental cameos, that I found myself not really caring all to hard. Nah, there were no activated Bits, but at least they got their shoutout, if only on a mantle.

Oh, and father was miffed that they didn't push the 3D aspect anywhere near as much as they could have.
Me, I'm tired of the 3D gimick already.

This movie actually could've done the "stick out of the screen and attack the audience" thing to great effect. Especially if Bit had been alive. Imagine Bit flying over the audience. Why do I love that thing so much?

Uhm, because it's fantastically adorable and brutally honest? <3

I admit though, I DID jump in my seat when they sent that one grapplehook flying directly at us

Also, my own personal geekout. I should be ashamed for placing this here.

Normally I'm embarassed by my own fanart, but the look is just so damn cool I can't be ashamed.

You sure did well on this.
And the new Tron movie isn't getting very much fanart "done well", so, I commend you.

My problem with doing fanart - and this was especially true of deviantArt - is that it tends to be the only thing in my gallery to get recognition. For that reason, I end up getting angry and taking it down after so long.

That's true; much like porn here, fanart is the quickest way to get recognized on dA. I've been cultivating an online presence for years that's built around original artwork. Honestly though, I probably wouldn't be as well known if not for my BBA work. I've realized what it's like without that because here, BBA is less recognized and so I don't have that boost up.

I agree, I missed Bit as well! Though it was paid homage as those little sculptures in Flynn's hideout.

And yeah the story was pretty lame. I had trouble visualizing how the evil army of doom would look coming out of the video arcade basement to CONQUER THE WORLD. The music WAS fab, though.

They weren't that threatening. I mean Clu would be arriving in a pretty crappy neighborhood in LA. All them guys dressed in red just TRY wandering into gang territory.

I dunno, I liked the story.. it was all about sacrifice for the ones you love. :< A lot of the story seemed to be overlooked by most people.

Anyways, awesome picture. Sadly the grid in Legacy only had Bits as props! XD

PS: I think having the opportunity to watch my boyfriend play the game before the movie came out kinna helped explain some things that were quickly brushed over in the movie. The game isn't the greatest thing ever but it explains more.

badass as fuck

Man, this looks AWESOME.

And while I did enjoy the movie, I did feel that the plot was seriously lacking. Plus I hated Sam. Like, a lot. but still the graphics (with the exception of CGJeff Bridges) and music were awesome. I would definitely go see it again in 3D (I've only seen it in 2D)

And it was great hearing Jeff inject some Dude-isms into the movie <3333

LOVE this picture. Was waiting over a year for the damn movie and went to the 12:01 IMAX 3D showing. Was amazing and daft punk did a terrific job on the soundtrack. I too was sad to not see bit in this movie.

waaah this is awesome.. but i swear to god if i see any tron furries i will cry LOL

Too bad cuz I'm making them lol

Mannn...I can only imagine how the original would've looked if it had the same graphical...technology as the new Tron's. Especially with that badass nurbed up MCP. XD

win +fav

I'm really digging the pose you gave Tron, it's pretty bitchin'. The details like the little cubes hidden here and there in the red parts really make this a well done piece all throughout.

Though I didn't see a problem with the story in Legacy, but to each his own.

It was the execution, not the plot itself

sweeeeeeeet

That movie was dead sexy for the eyes. And this picture is the exact same!

Man I am just waiting for someone to show up at a rave in torn chic lol

*tron

Flynn Lives!

The great thing about being MCP isn't deleting programs, it's showing everyone online that I did.

My mind is blown.

OMG I thought I was the only one who thought it was Albino Jack Sparrow!!!

*high 5*

LOL yeah, the first movie's plot sucked, but I actually thought that the second movie's plot was well thought out!
And OMG it was awsome. X3 I freaking LOVE glowy stuff! And YES DX FINALLY Someone recognized Zues's voice sounded like
Johney Depp to! XDDD

Holy jegus mother flying toast pancake soup kitchen alien potato skin souls!

THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVARRRR.

Glowy. @w@

The original was better but I enjoyed it. I was so sad when Bit wasn't in it.

the suit looks like an ANON from TRON: Evolution

Kick, fucking, ass.

I see sum photoshop brushes I use XD

This looks awesome! :) Great job!

oh my fucking god..... its like you took the awesomeness of the original Tron and injected some Legacy goodness, and when you mix those two together you get a love child of incomprehensible win!! you are awesome!!
