Members Goominim Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 What albums or soundtracks sound like Daft Punk's score in this trailer? Kind of an electronic cinematic score. On that note, I like the art-direction in the original movie better. This is too generic looking. I have the Wendy Carlos soundtrack on vinyl. Too good.

I have the Wendy Carlos soundtrack on vinyl. Too good. I really wish this movie will be as good as any TRON fan expects. However, it should be good by its own, with new art, new music, new effects and a new proposal. (cross fingers). That said, I do not expect or really would like Daft Punk to imitate Wendy Carlos soundtrack. That one was too perfect ! Being a Daft Punk fan, I only expect them to make a good enough soundtrack, so it won't disappoint. To Walk in Wendy Carlos' shoes should not be an option for them. Let's see.

Members Metrosonus Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 mother {censored}er.. can't we have a sci fi film for once without the natasha, sugar and spice, femme fatales PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: the 90's want their rave / fetish chicks back.. the opening was too reminiscent of batman for me.. however the rest looks quite cool.. if they can keep it timeless, i'll think it'll be a much better movie. something akin the soundtrack of the replacement killers.

Members ElectricPuppy Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 The original Tron was such an influence on me that I really, REALLY hope they get this right. But, honestly, I'm bracing myself for a letdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yoozer Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 That said, I do not expect or really would like Daft Punk to imitate Wendy Carlos soundtrack. That one was too perfect ! Right now when you see one of those ridiculous ZOOM ZOOM ENHANCE or ACCESS GRANTED with a 6-character password that is the evil genius's pet cat's name, you have to yawn - and rightfully so. Computers aren't exciting worlds of neon-colored lights inside, and we've barely even written something that's more intelligent than a lab rat. In fact, the lab rat even beats the robot in getting out of the maze. The reason the old version of TRON became cult was because people didn't have any preconceptions about computers - and computers could be those magical cities of photons, data and electrons. Nobody knew, because the only ones having 'm at home were some geeks. Computers and synthesizers are commonplace now. All that's left for this movie is the story and the styling. And with the quality of storytelling for the lowest common denominator - do you think anything's going to be left? Do you expect to be challenged or god forbid - provoked - in any other way than "wow, the CGI is awesome"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Metrosonus Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 dang, you hatin harsh bro.. while im not expecting much, if they can tie the technology intrinsically into the plot, it may not be half bad. of course, hollywood has forgotten that IS what sc fi is and were all just expecting another themed action movie anyway.

Gus Lozada Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 You are right, Yoozer. Still, I'm one of those fans salivating with the previews. I really wanted, for years, to see a sequel to TRON, with modern technology, and that, until now, has not been disappointing. Actually the story of the original was not that good, anyway It was more, as you say, the "magic" of those then unknown devices called "computers". There's something interesting about TRON: 28 years ago, indeed, computers were unknown for the most of us. We were just marveled by that universe but had no idea about what the deal was. Good Vs. Evil, represented by "modern" technology. 15 years ago, if you watched TRON for the first time, you may not get that surprised; also, back then the computer networks were not as advanced and were not any similar to what TRON pictured. So, 15 years ago, TRON was really lame and pointless. TODAY, if you watch it again, one can clearly see how inaccurate was it about the "future" of technology and looks so pale about CGI... BUT the evil Master Control Program, that knowledge and power starving entity, exists now. NOT as a "living" being, but if it was a a possibility, makes way more sense today than 15 years ago. SO, having an Evil MCP willing to take control of the world and a team of rebels fighting it may be really something current and on-topic which has already been pictured before (Terminator being a recurrent example). I do not know what TRON Legacy is all about. The original version was as relevant to the film making industry (speaking about technology) as James Cameron's AVATAR is currently. That said, I do not expect it to be as memorable as the original was 28 years ago, other than some CGI moments and perhaps, some cool music. I'm just crossing fingers this is worth to be called "TRON" too. It is good they kept the now Academy-Winner Jeff Bridges on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Metrosonus Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 look man.. hot chicks are for posting on the inter net or for cooking dinner... but just because they stick a hot chick in a movie, it doesn't necessarily make it a good movie.. it's like you know when an old guy starts off talking like " you know me, I don't like to complain or nothin.." and then you grit your teeth and clench your bowels because you know you have to sit through a 20 minute reenactment of something he left in the toilet the other day.. its a conversation that isn't going to end well.. you see it coming.. am i right or is i?

Members Ghostpaw Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Nobody knew, because the only ones having 'm at home were some geeks. I was one of those geeks. Actually there were quite a few computers at that time. The Apple, TRS-80, Commodore and Atari (they didn't just make consoles) were around in a lot of my friend's homes. I had some pretty geeky friends. Those were fun times. But we enjoyed the original movie too even though we knew there was not an A.I. lurking within.

Members Metrosonus Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 You are right, Yoozer. yea but where you guys are wrong is that it was just about imagination back then.. we've lost that. it has nothing to do with people having common knowledge about computers as it does an over reliance on special effects. the effects were ground breaking in the original tron and the story was pure fantasy, it was a fun combination that worked back then. effects aren't ground breaking anymore and rather than folding backwards and reinvesting in plot, they keep hammering away with the special effects hoping to make it more extreme every time as people get more and more desensitized to it. the state of media is really approaching the definition of insanity..

Members Metrosonus Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 I did, I wasn't trying to be critical (group hug) .. 'im just constantly irratated that in film and tv sci fi has become just themed action or drama. i mean they can put out block buster suspense cop drama films, but they can't incorporate that into sci fi.. sci fi these days is mainly just fluff for kids and addicts that dress up in costumes and get drunk on the weekends to buy actions figures and all sorts of tie ins. as a life long die hard fan of the genre, i find it depressing.

Members Goominim Posted March 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Tron was an allegory, all about religious believers taking down an oppressive government. If they take away that aspect, it won't be the same. It captured our hearts and imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Lozada Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 On a brighter side: Steven Lisberger, returns as a producer. Jeff Bridges reprises his role as Kevin Flynn, and Bruce Boxleitner his roles as Alan Bradley and Tron This could be really interesting. I guess TRON Legacy will include some elements that were not in the original movie, but were featured in the video game, Tron 2.0: [YOUTUBE]GS_CGIlbZFA[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Plink Floyd Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 ...it was just about imagination back then.. we've lost that... Well, you know me, I don't like to complain or nothin', but I think we forget that sci fi began way before Hollywood tried to distil it into celluloid. To me, almost any well crafted novel suffers from that transition. I couldn't put Dune down, but that movie puts me to sleep both times I've tried to watch it. I, Robot was a good action shoot-em-up movie, but it wasn't on the same planet with the novels that Asimov wrote. I'm not sure anyone could even make a movie from the novel 'I, Robot', it being a collection of short stories with a common theme. Asimov was reportedly pleased with the Harlan Ellison screenplay of I, Robot, but, no movie (sigh). The 'Caves of Steel' series, on which the 'I, Robot' movie was more closely based, would have made much better cinema, had they explored as the novelist did, the moral dilemmas and character interplay/tensions. Anyway, even if Hollywood did pay attention to the story, no amount of gee-whiz-bang special effects can top the ones in the mind. meh. I'm gonna go read 'Have Space Suit, Will Travel' again.

Members Metrosonus Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 well, it is true that they make most movies - tv for 15-26 y/os these days.. but i think collectively we have this sort of "tune in, turn off" mentality that's been groomed for decades by big media. I think we've been reprogrammed to respond to artificial emotional cues and we just don't notice behind all of that, that were being resold the same experience over and over.
