Is made purely of cliches. And not in a good way.
Starts rather slowly and disney-movie-like, father-son conversations etc.
Sam Flynn, I do not at all like him. Well, from the character-establishing scenes I thought I was going to hate him for being the arrogant foolish Stu type, but the whole rest of the movie he displayed very little personality at all, so I'm only bored.
The created world: illogically anthropocentric.
The tron look. I saw a small part of the 80s version and it looked so mush better there. Then, the glowing lines were basically all that there was too see (possibly because of the primitive film technology, but I think it looked great). Now, everything (clothes, setting) looks a lot more solid. Like things that actually exist decorated with glowing lines instead of like virtual stuff. The vehicles all looked great for one second right before they solidified.
Halfway through every second scene started coming with that standard "this is an emotionally significant moment" string music. It didn't fit well with the dialogue and action it was with, it was irritatingly distracting.
Positive moment: fight scene in a club with Daft Punk music. The music seemed a bit oddly unfitting to the setting for a moment, but Daft Punk always shuts my thinking off in a pleasant way. I could have watched that for a while given a bigger screen and louder music.
"Clu can't create programs, only destroy or repurpose them"(probably not quoted correctly). I think that's Satan's problem too, or at least I know for sure it's Morgoth's. So, CLU is Lucifer? I am really desperate to find anything of interest in this movie. Rebelling against the creator etc..
Yeah, this was supposed to be an entertainment movie, not a purposeful movie.
Maybe it could be made entertaining by having a drink for every stock phrase uttered.
It vaguely reminds me of The Fifth Element, which is a cliche storm on purpose and meaningless entertainment, quite successfully. Just because they share the element of an odd plastic head covering on and evil person and the same archetype in Quorra and Leeloo. Except it all didn't work out in Tron.
I still want to see the original, though.
