Visually this looks... fine.
I love Tron: Legacy, I remember seeing it in theaters as a child and it's still something of a comfort watch for me. The visuals and the score from Daft Punk. Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) is a good action director.
The visuals here don't look as good, and Ronning is just not a good director. His work on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales and Young Woman and the Sea is incredibly dull. The way he paces his films always makes them so sluggish, uninteresting, flat.
This trailer was definitely a let down for me. I also loved Legacy, but I dunno, bringing the programs into the real world…. I’m just not feeling it. I suppose it was the only place left to go for...
This trailer was definitely a let down for me. I also loved Legacy, but I dunno, bringing the programs into the real world…. I’m just not feeling it. I suppose it was the only place left to go for the series. But this just looks dumb as hell. I guess NIN is a good choice to replace Daft Punk, Reznor’s definitely been crushing it on scores lately, but I’m not sure that’s gonna be enough for me with how lame the rest of the movie looks. There’s more to Tron than just light cycles (but they fly now! They fly now? They fly now.)
It's hard to improve on the perfection that is the 1992 Tron Light Cycles game released for the PC. Personally, I would watch just to see the composition of... light... cycle... matter...
It's hard to improve on the perfection that is the 1992 Tron Light Cycles game released for the PC.
Personally, I would watch just to see the composition of... light... cycle... matter ("binarium"? "calculum"?). It appears to be unaffected by gravity, yet possess extremely high inertia. If it were massless, it would be unaffected by gravity, but would also have no inertia. It were highly massive, it would also possess great inertia, but it would be also affected by gravity. Perhaps it is both highly massive and possessing an elastic modulus far in excess of any known material. But then how does it stay suspended in flight? Furthermore, how does anything fly with any store of such a material. Maybe it is both infinitely stiff and also massless, but then it poses no threat or harm. If the mass is low, then so is the inertia, and it is more of a gossamer nuisance.
Although ruled out by the physics of the Higgs field, a composite material that had equal masses of ordinary, positive mass matter and (impossible) exotic, gravitationally negative mass matter would have no weight, but would (might?) possess high inertia and low weight. Because such matter is infinitely more exotic than ultra-hard materials, we could throw that in with the lot in addition.
But, somehow, I suspect my wishes will not be granted. A 90 minute discussion on physics would not a summer blockbuster make.
Fair points, but light cycles ARE super awesome! As someone who saw Legacy 5 times in theaters, I’m cautiously optimistic. I’d have liked to see a follow up to Legacy with the people from Legacy,...
Fair points, but light cycles ARE super awesome!
As someone who saw Legacy 5 times in theaters, I’m cautiously optimistic. I’d have liked to see a follow up to Legacy with the people from Legacy, which I anticipated would bring it into the real world based on the story. I keep wondering how much this will relate (true sequel? side story? soft reboot?)
I thought it looked cool enough in the trailer. More red than I like - where’s the blue?
Of his movies I have only seen Kon-Tiki which I thought was quite good. Young Woman and the Sea has a 7.5/10 score on imdb which is a rather high score. So may I ask how his directing dull in your...

Of his movies I have only seen Kon-Tiki which I thought was quite good. Young Woman and the Sea
has a 7.5/10 score on imdb which is a rather high score. So may I ask how his directing dull in your opinion?

His films tend to have this murky cinematography. Like there’s nothing technically wrong with it, but there’s a faux beauty to it like if someone applied an instagram filter.
Young Woman and the Sea particularly suffers from that, while Dead Men Tell No Tales is comparatively flat from the previous films in the franchise. His films also tend to run too long and feel really slow. I almost fell asleep during Young Woman and the Sea, which tries to be this call back to inspirational sports drama while possessing none of the entertainment value.
I fell asleep to Lincoln but that's also a decently high rated movie. Sometimes we vibe with something, sometimes we don't. I think this movie looks pretty good - I liked Tron: Legacy so I'm a bit...

While I don't think this movie will live up to the origin Tron or Tron: Legacy, I'm cautiously excited. Also as much as I loved Daft Punk in Legacy, I am a life long NIN fan so I am pretty psyched. Also NIN is touring this year which I am definitely going to. I was under the impression Trent had basically bowed out from NIN because it took him away from his family too much, which I respect, but was a bummer. Maybe his kids are old enough he felt he could handle a tour now.
I don't think I've really seen a role where he's been bad. Like Suicide Squad Joker was what it was, didn't like it nor did I hate it (probably one of the more interesting parts of a bad movie).

From Blade Runner 2049 and Fight Club (plus I guess the specific two minutes of him listening to Hip to be Square in American Psycho?) I agree, but I don't think that was really him imparting much onto those roles. Someone else could've probably done a fine job.
I haven't seen Dallas Buyers Club and Requiem for a Dream, though. I've heard he did a good job there.
I don't really know anything about Jared Leto, but here's a video of his mind exploding from being interviewed by Shirakami Fubuki the Hololive VTuber.

You, fair noble, have won tildes for this day.

Curious to see what Tildes folk think about Jared Leto. Over on lemmy, it was all people hating him.
I've never seen a movie with him where the role felt like his, and the echelon shit is weird.
The Kill kinda slaps tho

I liked him in BR2049, he was just the perfect amount of strange for that role.
I feel like he's exactly the right person for something. Maybe this will be it?
