Daft Punk “Derezzed” official TRON: Legacy [music video]
EPIC! …I said I’d drag you along to Tron myself. I’ve already seen it but it’s so worth going again. [finday] I took my dad out and about and we both enjoyed the film a great deal. The permeating father son moments were, err, relatable and cool, as were the stories my own dad had to share about the 80’s digital boom and the extremely ingenious filmmaking techniques that were used in creating the original. All I had to share was my internet knowledge of Tron Guy, who by the way loved the film so much he almost (I bet he did) cried.
Personal banter aside: Tron: Legacy’s score was TOPS thanks to the polished sounds of Grammy Award®-winning electronic music duo Daft Punk (who make a featured cameo) as were all the sexy sexified sound-effects!
Everything in ‘the Grid’ was sleek and well designed thanks to first-time director Joseph Kosinski who is in fact an architect. So it makes sense he was given the key to create the visually-stunning cyber universe. His next film is a reimaging of a shitty 1979 science-fiction film named (a crew finds a lost ship inside a) Black Hole. He must see some potential in it, and after Tron, I can’t wait to see it.
You can see a poster for the 1979 Disney scifi flick The Black Hole in Sam’s room in the beginning of the film. Tron Legacy director Joe Kosinski is helming a remake of The Black Hole.
We’ll done, now flick that light switch and get on the grid!
Directed by Joseph Kosinski. I love that they decided to mixup the light-cycles and turn them into cybernetic jousting steeds with knights to boot . Made this video stand apart in a subtle way, yet kept all the badassness of what Tron is all about. I like it. I like it a lot. And notice how when the character at the end of the video takes off her helmet and her colours change? That’s a permeating theme in Tron Legacy right there; nice touch.
I have one issue I would like to rant about: I bought tickets to see Tron in 3D (of course) and when my ticket stub was torn, I was expecting a pair of 3D glasses, but the guy said I had to PAY an extra $1 back at the darn downstairs counter – That made me miss the Yogi Bear and Tangled trailers!!! When did this come into effect, why and who is in charge of these soaring ticket prices? I have to fucking buy 3D glasses now! Seriously messing with my zen man.
Also; the casting was good, as was the story, but I wish (SPOILER ALERT) there was a more significant scene involving programs starting a rebellion of their own. This was hinted at during the Zuse bar scene but would have made an excellent parallel action moment during the final moments of the picture. Oh well, I’m just glad, thank Zuse, Quorra (Olivia Wilde) didn’t get her suit off (shame, I ruined the best part of your expectations didn’t I punk 😛
