    Above all, the TRON universe has the coolest aesthetic. I hope they nailed the soundtrack like the last one.

      The soundtrack is basically the only thing I'm really excited about because I don't really care for Leto myself. I can put up with him as a supporting role, but as the main character here it may be a tough watch.

      It's pretty cool that it's a NIN score, rather than a Trent and Atticus score.

        if the score lands, it'll be amazing. I'm not even a big NIN fan or anything, but it should work perfectly for this landscape and also a pleasant contrast to the previous Daft Punk one. If they did another beep-boop-doop one, I dont think it'd feel as fresh.

    I don't expect this movie to be a cinema masterpiece, but I do expect the soundtrack to fucking slap. Let's hope.

      Idk how I feel about this, I love Trent but his music is absolutely a change in tone from Daft Punk and I liked the last movie specifically because of the upbeat tone in a sea of dark movies.

      Its not really about him specifically, I’m just tired of super hero movies where they save the day but they almost don’t and its dark and stressful the whole time. The last Tron was so great because it wasn’t like that.

    I don't need to understand why Tronworld is leaking over into ours. I don't need to have the motivations explained of why the bad guy wants to conquer Earth. Keep me completely confused as the protagonist gets on a Tron bike and drives to the next story point, blitzing through streets of neon and blur with the dialog obfuscated by an overbearing soundtrack.

    Truly, we need more vibe movies like Miami Vice and Tenet. We need spectacle delivered through maximum feels at the expense of narrative clarity. As confusing as this may be for the audience, it's exactly what we need with a new Tron movie.
