After seeing the movie a second time I have a scant few rants.
I realize that I am too big of a fan of the Tron Franchise to critique the film.
Honestly the film could have sucked huge dicks and I would probably been like "meh, ok, it was cool!", kind of like a loyal spouse who overlooks the social flaws of his loved one.
Anyways, here is my Beef on the film:
Base jumping is not cool.
The travel into the grid (the laser) and it's transfer felt anti-climactic compared to the first film. I liked the way it digitized shit in strips, you got the feeling that it was actually unbuilding it in one place and rebuilding it in the digital world. Come to think of it, they didn't explain it at all in this film, I imagine a person who never saw Tron 1 must have been lost.
Quorra was a Disney Princess. I've arrived at this decision and actually, I'm OK with it. It's a Disney film after all. She is bubbly, giggly, and wide eyed. A Disney Princess. But then so was the chick from Tron 1. Honestly, I don't recall her character's name. Thus my forgiveness of this character.
I thought it was retarded how Quorra ended up in the Real World in the end. It was fucking stupid. I keep praying it was only a figment of Sam's imagination. It would have been so much cooler if he would have retreated to his awesome Garage/House/Loft and logged onto a computer and opened up a chat program with her. It would have communicated she was alive and real without jumping the sci-fi shark and making her into some sort of sucky "Pinnochio" character.
Bitching aside, I thought Dillinger's son was a pretty cool inclusion. I'm excited to see how that pans out in the next film.
Also, The Ship they were riding on was a Slave Ship that was actually a stored Cache which I thought was clever as shit.
Last, I didn't hate Sam Flynn as much as I thought I would.
The End.
Dusty Brain, I am curious to see what you thought of the film. Don't hold back.
