Nothing corrupted Clu, He was designed to create the perfect system. He saw the Isomorphs as a threat to his own programing.

[@timmooney7528]

Agreed. Flynn put Clu in charge, then changed the plans. Clu was confused because the iso's were not part of the original plan.

[@robderich8533]

Flynn's problem is that he had no idea that he actually wasn't really interested in perfection but in beauty, which however cannot exist without a bit of imperfection.

Unfortunately per the reports Tron: Ares is going to be a total reboot of the series and not a sequel to Legacy.

This movie's director, Joseph Kosinski, was a well regarded digital architect and designer before he got this film as his first directing job. His stylistic imprint is all over this movie throughout the costume and production design. The aesthetic world he created is kind of breathtaking, and worth revisiting periodically.

[@adtu21]

Wow I didn't know that. That's why this movie is so...special

[@kristinaF54]

Beautiful though it looks, there's no logical reason for a 3d virtual environment in this film because it's not a game environment but rather an OS designed by Clu. At least in Tron 1 the reason for it being 3d was because the whole setting was a virtual game environment designed by Flynn. Also characters being called programs rather than PCs and NPCs , is again not in keeping with gaming vocabulary.

[@The2ndQuest]

@@kristinaF54 Flynn intentionally created it to be a virtual environment. He didn't actually design the world of the Grid in Tron 1- he only discovered it after the MCP zapped him. He then took the inspiration from that to start creating his new Grid (and the subsequent obsessions with "digital frontiers" and virtual worlds). Including the Programs as sentient lifeforms instead of just the avatars of simple computing functions. Likewise, keep in mind that Flynn created the new Grid in the 1980's, and was trapped in 1989. He wouldn't know about later popular gaming vocabulary (and, given that he's basing everything on his experiences in 1982, he would be unlikely to want to stop referring to them as Programs since that is what they called themselves on the original Grid).

[@rowaystarco]

@@kristinaF54 An OS? This was Flynns own "playground" and not the operating system that Encom releases. The original "grid" in Tron wasn't a game either really, it was also a computer system running different programs.

A funny nugget of information is that this movie was shot in 3D (many movies are converted later), which gives the image an extra crispy look (especially in dark areas) in 3D theatre. Combined with Daft Punk's music (who were sometimes present on set to feel the movie's mood), this movie truly was a cinematic experience. I went to IMAX 3 times and was blown away by the movie's atmosphere every time. What I am trying to say that this movie is little bit like a music video - watching it in the correct settings truly elevates the experience.

8:26 This is the actual TRON arcade game that was made by Bally Midway and was available in video game arcades in 1982! And that’s how the game really looked on its screen! So many of us who were kids, teenagers and young adults back then played this very same game, Cassie! And the Journey tune “Separate Ways” (from 1983) playing in the background? A little reminder of Journey’s contribution to the TRON soundtrack back in 1982 with the song “Only Solutions,” which played over the end credits.

I also remember that Journey got their own arcade game, also made by Bally/Midway around the same time (early 1980s) to capitalize on the band's success on both radio airplay, concert ticket sales & their hit album "Frontiers" -- if the player completed all 5 minigames (each centered on 1 band member), they moved onto the final game of the current level which involved the entire band on a concert stage performing "Separate Ways" (played back via a prerecorded tape installed inside the arcade cabinet) while the player attempted to block crazed Journey groupies from swarming the stage!

[@hackerx7329]

I too loved the series but it did get canceled partway through production so it doesn't have a conclusion, it just stops :( To me the best piece of media is Tron 2.0 which was the game that was made as a sequel to the first move but had a completely different plot to Tron Legacy because when it was made it ignored the plot of that game. The good news is the game can still be bought for cheap on Steam or GoG and these days even a low end computer can run it great.

I take it that the little memory card Sam wore on a chain at the end of the movie, the one with the little slow-flashing LED, has a copy of Kevin Flynn saved on it. That's how he'd bring back his father. You don't know Daft Punk, so you don't know their "schtick" was they always wore these stylized helmets with lots of LEDs. You never see their faces.

@@Seven_Leaf You're right. Not sure what I was remembering.

@@Seven_Leaf It actually can be pinned down because we see the running clock when Sam tries to log in, and know almost the precise date of Legacy's real world events. The director has also given an estimation of Grid Time being about 50x faster than the real world (which aligns with Castor's statement, as that would be 47.61x faster). It ends up being that Kevin has been in there for 1050 years from his perspective. And 1 min in the real world is 0.833 hours on the Grid.

- Garrett Hedlund, who plays Sam Flynn, is more of a character actor now. He played Patroclus, cousin of Brad Pitt's Achilles in Troy: he was Murtagh in the film Eragon, based on the Christopher Paolini novel: and he has a list of films he turned down like Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games films and Christian Grey in 50 Shades of Grey. The most recent thing that I saw him in was the Paramount Plus series Tulsa King starring Sylvester Stallone. - Daft Punk were comprised of the French musicians Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. They had a lot of dance and electronic hits. They had a huge hit with "Get Lucky" with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers. They have now disbanded. A fun taste of the music they made is the Daft Punk Medley by Pentatonix, an all a capella rendition of several of their most famous songs, that won Pentatonix a Grammy Award. Daft Punk actually are in the film, in their signature robot helmets in the club scene (23:24), when Castor/Zeus says, "Change the scheme, Alter the mood, Electrify the boys and girls, if you'd be so kind!" Daft Punk are in the booth. - Castor/Zeus is played by the brilliant Welsh actor Michael Sheen, who took the job because he loved the original Tron as a kid. Sheen is known for several films and TV series: He has been the main actor for Peter Morgan projects involving the Royal Family, playing former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in The Queen, The Special Relationship, and The Deal. He played David Frost on stage and then in the film version of Frost/Nixon opposite his stage partner Frank Langella as Richard Nixon. He was Lucian, leader of the Lycans (werewolves) in the Underworld films, and was Aro of the Volturi vampires in the Twilight Saga. He is mostly busy with projects with his friend David Tennant like the next season of Good Omens for Amazon (Sheen is an angel, and Tennant is a demon) and their web series Staged, a comedy created using Zoom technology during the lockdown. Must see films: The Queen (Helen Mirren won an Oscar as Queen Elizabeth II dealing with the death of Diana, Princess of Wales), Frost/Nixon (about the legendary post Presidency interview David Frost had with Richard Nixon), and The Damned United (where he plays Brian Clough, the manager of the Leeds United football (soccer) team in the 1970s). - There is a clue for Rinzler in being Tron, but repurposed...The chest piece Rinzler has is the same as Tron's in the first movie and the flashback. Center of the chest are three dots, and just under the second dot is a single dot, a total of four dots or squares. And when Rinzler says, "User" in the games after pinning Sam, it is Bruce Boxleitner's voice, even though Bruce is not playing Rinzler physically. - There were more films planned and because the movie didn't perform to expectations, the others were put on hold. There was also a Tron cartoon with Bruce Boxleitner's voice, alongside Elijah Wood, and Mandy Moore called Tron Uprising that lasted one season on Disney XD. There is a new Tron being planned called Tron Ares with Jared Leto, but not much is known about it yet.

[@SkulShurtugalTCG]

Jeff Bridges' de-aging for Clu definitely looks dated these days, but keep in mind when this film released 15 years ago this was one of the very first times it had ever been done, and I think it's held up surprisingly well. When they mo-capped Jeff's face for the Clu scenes, he commented that this is exactly what happened in Tron, where his likeness was scanned into a computer and replicated.

I took my old associate and friend (R.I.P.) to see it in 3D. A martial artist he trained with portrayed the stunts for "Rinzler". As with the original TRON film, this one helped to revolutionize film graphics, facial morphing, etc. Still hard to believe this movie is 24 years old.

Such a great movie. They did an animated series that’s between this one and the first Tron. It tells us what happened to Tron. The problem in this movie with the way Clu looks is due to Jeff Bridges beard. The computer couldn’t get an accurate view of his mouth moving cause they couldn’t put the dots around his mouth on his skin. It works for Clu though cause he’s a computer design from the old system but when they show Kevin when he was younger it doesn’t work that well. I love in this movie how they do callbacks to the original. Like when Sam goes into ENCOM he makes a remark about the door like his dad did. When Sam goes into his dad’s office at the arcade you see the hand held football game Kevin was playing.

Back in the 80s the first Tron game was exactly like shown in the movie, you raced light cycles, had battle tanks all the things you saw in the first movie. About a year later Discs of Tron came out. Essentially started with three platforms each, each level that would change from two up to five. initially you just threw on a level playing field, bouncing the disc off the walls and back wall to knock the opponent off his platform. Later rounds you could bounce off the floor and ceiling as well and the platforms would derez if they were hit by the discs. One of the greatest arcade games ever made.

DE-REZ!" and "RINZLER!" Not sure if it's been surpassed yet, but I believe it held the record for the biggest crowd audio recorded for a film. 18:20: This was, I believe, the very first film to attempt digital de-aging. The technology has come a long way since, obviously. Marvel's been using it to great success, though I believe they also use more traditional makeup in conjunction. I don't think CGI is inherently bad, but rather that the best trick is the combination of tricks. If everything is CGI or puppetry or miniatures, it becomes easy to spot the trick and see through it. If you combine the elements well, and use each for what it's best at, I think some part of your brain admits it can't see through the trick, so accepts it as real.

This is the first to me. Cassie. This the true ways to view movies. I love it to see you sitting in the dark watching Tron. Bravo!!!

[@Sopmylo]

The dogfight sequence is spectacular.

[@freddiemossberg7204]

Still one of the most visually pleasing movies I’ve seen. Might not have the charm of the first Tron but that was always gonna be the case. Seeing this in 3D at the cinema was awesome.

[@Instantphojo]

I went to see the first Tron in the theater when it came out. Years later my son and I watched Tron Legacy together.

[@ankari5257]

michael sheen was having SO much fun in his role i love when he was on screen as castor/zeus

[@markhuber8105]

This movie was the best 3D experience I’ve had. The real world was 2D but the grid was all in 3D and it was amazing.

[@joewhitehead3]

When this originally came out, my dad & I went to the same theater. I saw this while he saw Jeff Bridges in True Grit

[@kingscorpion7346]

the actor playing Sam also played Patroclus, Achillies' cousin in Troy. My brain melted when I found out about that.

[@karma73bike]

Filmed in and around Vancouver BC. Always love finding landmarks of my hometown.

[@RetroClassic66]

28:00 Garrett Hedlund, who plays Sam, has been in a number of films. He played Brad Pitt’s younger cousin Patroclus in TROY (2004), Donny Billingsley, football player and son of abusive father Charles (Tim McGraw) in FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (2004), Jackie Mercer, youngest of the FOUR BROTHERS (2005), Murtagh Morzansson in ERAGON (2006), Harlan Wilson, a Mormon seduced by Lindsay Lohan in GEORGIA RULE (2007), Beau Hutton, an aspiring country music singer and romantic interest to Gwyneth Paltrow’s troubled country star Kelly Canter in COUNTRY STRONG (2010) (he also sings in it, and he’s really good!), Johnny Five in INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS (2013), Lt. Cmdr. John Fitzgerald in the World War II prison camp survival drama UNBROKEN (2014), Captain James Hook in PAN (2015), Jamie McAllan in MUDBOUND (2017), Harry J. Anslinger in THE UNITED STATES VS. BILLIE HOLLIDAY (2021), and several other films & TV series.

[@Vogelkinder]

The whole soundtrack was done by Daft Punk, and they even appeared in the bar scene as the DJs. They're fantastic. =)

[@PerfectHandProductions]

Daft Punk made this movie.

[@dojomaster1987]

The techno song you sang in the intro I believe was called sandstorm. Everyone who knows techno knows sandstorm.

[@BigAl53750]

‘Evil gazebos’. HAHAHAHA!

[@pleasehelp2446]

This movie was released my sophomore year of highschool...I fell in love with the old ducati motorcycles. I actually bought and fixed one up that I rode for 5 years. When I bought my Ducati I played the Tron:Legacy soundtrack the whole ride home. Because it had been 5 years since I fell in love with that bike because of a movie. And now I owned one.

[@patrickcromwell7554]

Also the angry purring/growling sound Rinzler makes is an audio composite of corrupted and damaged hard drives/modems.

[@kirk1968]

Saw the original TRON in 1982 at age 14 and then watching this in 2009 was equally amazing! What a crazy time to be alive, thank you for this amazing reaction video 😁

[@SJHFoto]

That's exactly how I felt seeing this in the movies. It recaptured how I felt in 1982 watching Tron in the movies

[@NoChance345]

Sam is played by Garrett Hedlund. He’s in a lot of stuff but I know him from Troy, Four Brothers, Death Sentence, Friday Night Lights, and Eragon.

[@naughty.r0bot]

Cassie, the Daft Punk soundtrack to this is -incredible- it can truly be listened to as a standalone album. Very synthwave / vaporwave.

[@johntheis9189]

I own the album and listen to it to this day! The fact daft punk is not doing more feature films is a shame and a waste

[@ct6852]

I love it too. But it makes me zone out so hard I always fall asleep watching this.

[@jbwade5676]

😢

[@NoChance345]

They also make an appearance as DJ’s in Zeus’s club.

[@OgreProgrammer]

The sound track still gives me the chills, years later.

[@georgeplimpton9429]

Sam was Brad Pitt's cousin in Troy.

[@ct6852]

Oh no way. He must've still been pretty young here.

[@georgeplimpton9429]

@@ct6852 It's him. He's also the bar owner in The Tulsa King with Sylvester Stallone, but a bit older. (Good series too.)

[@gamergod9182]

as a Daft Punk fan who has listened to the score a miilion times on its own, rewatching the movie always feels a bit like watching a 2 hour music video. it's a visual spectacle with an amazing soundtrack. it's also ironic that the one thing that hasn't aged well about this one is the de-aging effect. everything else still looks amazing even after 14 years.

[@ct6852]

Yeah the whole thing feels like a long music video.

[@Kwodlibet]

28:00 - You may have seen Sam - Garrett Hedlund - in "Troy" as Patroclus, cousin of Achilles. When Achilles refused to fight he put on his helmet and armour to inspire Greeks to fight. Hector killed him in combat, thinking he was actually facing Achilles...

[@XC11301991]

Lol I love how you sang Darude Sandstorm for Daft Punk. 😂 I think if you hear a couple of their songs you would recognize. Hope your family enjoys your time at Worlds.

[@kritik4lm4ss]

The idea of confusing darude for daft punk cracked me up!

[@r.lyster8280]

Tron: Uprising was an animated series they created after this movie. It's definitely worth watching. Great video! Thank you for making it.

[@Elephant2024]

No matter what the movie is, you (and Carly) always make it a pleasurable movie watching experience. Congratulations on the new setup and your upcoming trip.

[@timmooney7528]

Back in the late 1990's I had an idea for a Tron sequel. The game grid had been disconnected from the outside world for a long time, and the data center housing the mainframe that contains it is scheduled to be decommissioned because it isn't y2k complaint. The company doesn't know what's on the abandoned server. The hero discovers Flynn is still alive and must beat the clock before the server is shut down.

[@michaelwang6809]

Loved this movie! Gets better every time I watch it. By saving Sam and Quorra; Flynn not only saved his son, but he saved a surrogate daughter and the ISO's from extinction. From my understanding, the ISO's were a spontaneous and new form of "life" which Flynn found in the grid. Just as computers and the grid were a digital frontier in the first movie offering revolutionary potential; in this movie spontaneous and "perfect" lifeforms in the form of ISOs represented a new and mysterious frontier with vast and unknown potential. He was fascinated by them and their existence since they were not created by any user or program like Clu; yet their random appearance represented the entry of a form of chaos into the well-ordered system Flynn and Clu had set out to initially create. They had digital DNA, as represented when they were looking at Quorra's corrupted and damaged data, and by the looks of it, had the ability to self-heal, if the corrupted data could be removed (maybe like reverting to a previously undamaged or un-corrupted state, like turning back time). So he theorized that untold secrets could be discovered by studying the ISO's, which could yield incredible advancements in technology that would result in possibly revolutionary discoveries that would advance human technology in the real world too. But I like to think that beyond just the technological promise the ISO's presented; Flynn also saw the budding relationship or possibility of a relationship between Sam and Quorra, and out of love for both, like any parent who loves their children, he would do anything to protect them from harm, even if it meant giving up his own life to do so. In this, the story perfectly marries the theme of the amazing technological and scientific potential of a unknown frontier such as the idea of digital life; with the very relatable and human aspect of parental love for one's children, focusing on the relationship and love of a father for his son, and as a son for his long-lost father. The soundtrack is also totally rad too.

[@PrvtGeek]

LOL.. she actually did the, "what's the name of that song?" Darude Sandstorm :)

[@michaelross1452]

Funny enough i always get emotional with this movie. Its a father/son film. The bond that love creates. And time nor absence erases. Flynn gave his existence up for his son. His son was his existence. He destroyed Clu and the grid so Sam would not get pulled in again. Clu could not get out. He was flawed. Kora was not flawed. Having no "creator" so no flawed programming. That part of the theme is more....complex. The creator vs the creation vs a new creation seemingly made by no one. Is the grid controlled by something else? Not known to its very own creator? Loved that you watched it with your boys. Great reaction.

[@michaeldecarlo3623]

I love the father son dynamic in this movie. I actually got to watch this movie premiere with my son in downtown Disney when we were at Disney World.

[@flynngames4703]

So excited that you watched this with your kids. I watched the original as a kid in the theater with my friends. It was an amazing time. We sunk down in our chairs and watched the second showing. Tron forever!

[@technofilejr3401]

Part of Tron lore is that when you create a program you are putting a bit of yourself into it. So on the Grid any program you create will automatically look like you.

[@myfriendisaac]

This was *EPIC* in the movie theater!!! I still listen to the soundtrack (brilliantly done by Daft Punk). 🧡💙🔥🎧

[@RickPelovsky]

"Tron: Legacy" dazzles with amazing visuals and a cool Daft Punk soundtrack. The plot may not be super deep, but the action and world-building keep things exciting. Jeff Bridges and Garrett Hedlund give solid performances. It's a visually stunning and entertaining movie, even if the story isn't the most complex.

[@hypercube8735]

Speaking of the Light Cycle game being like Snake, there have been a number of video games based on the light cycle sequence in Tron. My favourite is Armagetron Advanced, released in 2001 (released for free and open-source, if anyone wants to check it out for themselves).

[@Tigerhawk30]

Tron was identifiable early on. The pattern on his chest was the tell. It's the same as the original movie, just a different color. CLU repurposed him into Rinzler. (Apologies if this was touched on in an earlier comment). They're rare now, but you need to find someone with a 3D setup and rewatch this in 3D. This was the first movie I'd seen in the theater with the redone type of 3D that was much more depth than in your face. IMO, that was the much better way to do 3D. This movie is amazing on a 3D setup.

[@ieyke]

This was Disney's FIRST attempt at de-aging.

[@ClockMonsterLA]

Technically true, but it was Digital Domain's second time doing digital heads. The first was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, for which Digital Domain won Academy Awards, and the same underlying technology was used in Tron: Legacy. Unfortunately a number of factors led to results that fell far short of the quality of Benjamin Button.

[@ieyke]

@@ClockMonsterLA I wouldn't say Benjamin button looks all that much better, honestly. But yea, they need to go back and remaster TRON Legacy's de-aging. Hell, someone has probably already done it in a fan edit.

[@tru3sk1ll]

Ironically I feel this was better than the Mando de-aging

[@ieyke]

@@tru3sk1ll Oh, Luke? lol I think they just had different problems. Young Flynn/CLU2 had a uh....detail and realism problem, but looked and moved and acted like Jeff Bridges. But Young Luke had the detail and realism....but just didn't quite look like Luke because of the underlying double not looking like Mark Hamill, and had to keep his acting super subdued to help the illusion.

[@anzaeria]

Some felt that the de-aging technology used in TRON Legacy was appropriate because after all, Clu is a digital being. He doesn't necessarily have to look like a perfect human. @@ieyke

[@bradpriebe9218]

Daft Punk were the DJs in the helmets at the bar. You were right, they are electronica. If you want, Pentatonix does a really good medley of their stuff that you might like. Btw the song you were thinking of is Sandstorm by Darude.

I believe Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde knew each other from acting school and were in the same class, which is why they got along so well for Tron Legacy.

24:15 Before Clu leaves the portal, I believe he NEEDS Flynn's disc. It acts as a key or something.

[@enterlinemediaweb]

Back around 2012/2013, we almost got a sequel called Tron: Ascension. The script was written, the director from Legacy was back and many of the cast. It was canceled deep into preproduction due to the underperformance of Legacy (which did break even), the merchandise tanked for Legacy, and Disney recently bought a little franchise known as Star Wars. TRON Ares is a reboot and it isn't a sequel to the first two films

[@enterlinemediaweb]

I wish we got that sequel, but I do think Tron: Ascension would have improved on Tron"Legacy's 400 million worldwide gross, but Disney screwed it up by cancelling the sequel and poorly promoting Tron: Uprising (along with all of the inconsistent scheduling of episodes and i do think the series was too smart for a Disney XD audience). Then Marvel didn't keep following up with comics to keep the brand alive other than two comic book mini-series around teh time of Tron: Legacy.

[@enterlinemediavisual]

I really wish this movie was made. Just adding to the thoughts i left in comments from the other account (which I need to start making videos for). Tr3n: Ares I hope is good, but it saddens me that we didn't get the best sequel that was almost made 10 years ago. I do hear that a 4K UHD master was finished for tron" legacy which I hope there is a a 4K UHD blu-ray release this year

[@CinHotlanta]

I love the Dillinger misdirect with Cillian Murphy at the beginning, beautifully done :) This movie is tragically underrated. Beautiful to experience visually and audibly - maybe best soundtrack ever by Daft Punk that still inspires goosebumps... and Journey still slaps :)
