Loved the light cycle battle and the light dunebuggy. I didnt like how TRON was an evil faceless minion for CLU and there was no catalyst to explain his redemption. Yeah the change of heart seemed rather sudden, unexplained and rushed. _________________________ I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. - Charles V

Even has a scene from the movie in it, fleshing out CLUs insurrection storyline. Releasing a platform game with control problems is a bit lame. It's like you're running on rails, but if you miss the 'rail' node odd things can happen. I saw a Unity script with similar problems so I wonder if it's based on the same thing. Might be worth picking up the novelisation for this just to fill in the missing bits of the movie. Oh, xmass dinner is ready.

Originally Posted By: PanzerMeyer I looked it up online and apparently Tron Legacy had a budget of 170 million. Ouch! Seems like movies are increasingly "hit or miss" these days...must be stressing out studio chairs! _________________________ POLITICS, WAR, ECONOMY, CONTROVERSY! and other heated discussions and debates in the PWEC sub-forum at the bottom of this forum main page.

The music in the new film was pretty good but nowhere near as timeless as the music composed by Wendy Carlos for the original Tron IMHO. _________________________ I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. - Charles V
