I loved TRON as a kid... but... sorry, Tony, this trailer does not bode well.... The sfx are fantastic, etc. - given. But in the original, two basic elements of the bikes that MADE THEM the cool thing they were: 1) They travelled and turned at 90º angles ONLY 2) When they crashed into each other's walls, it was LETHAL - you were IMMEDIATELY TOAST ... And they get these basics wrong?!? Now it just looks like one more fucking sci-fi MATRIX-esque action sequence.... The magic seems gone. The plot wisps emerging from this bit - tired, familiar, empty. I'm no longer looking forward to this. |

"1) They travelled and turned at 90º angles ONLY 2) When they crashed into each other's walls, it was LETHAL - you were IMMEDIATELY TOAST" Surely the "basics" are plot and character. I'm looking forward to it and I haven't even seen the first one. |

The things Craig mentioned were pretty ace; simplicity being pure and effective. I thought this clip was pretty atmospheric and dreamlike myself. |
