Tron meets the tower guardian

[@DarthRushy]

I love how Tron isn't such a long film, but once it's finished, it feels like the end of an era. It really feels like completing a long video game after weeks of hard work.

[@scrabdusanproductions2104]

I know exactly what you mean

[@KizaruB]

Because it’s a slow-paced movie

[@TheJosep70]

Films of that time felt like an adventure with a satisfying ending. There was no craving for sequels back then.

[@floydjohnson7888]

Now THERE'S an analogy!

[@Kuzey457]

I personally love the graphics in this film. They're much more minimalistic and analog feeling, as well as colorful. Blows my mind how well it turned out given when it was made.

[@power2084]

It was way ahead of its time.

[@MostlyPennyCat]

95% of it is an animated movie, very little is computer rendered. I recommend the making of on the bonus disk, it's madness how they made this, every frame is an analogue composite image

Shortly after this...tron finally communicates with his user ‘tron,location query....confirm’ It’s this exact point that Flynn warned Alan not to fall asleep in front of his computer,and that he’d only have a short time in which to speak to his tron program. Tron is a very smart movie.

[@351cleavland]

After the success of Tron's efforts there was a free exchange of communication in the I/O towers. Dumont asked programs their user's names. Programs began to respond with names like, "BigRodJohnson28" and "stupidfarts666." Dumont became sad.

[@gamechanger8908]

Tron is lucky to have a user who has a pretty simple username.

When he did Tron back then it was more serious knight in shining armor style while Now Tron is more Antiheroic.

[@MrShadowpanther3]

This Tron was still a free Security Program. In the sequel, he was captured and reprogrammed.

[@yukimaruzam]

I wish there was more of this in TRON Legacy - slowing the action down to allow for some character development... talking to to the tower guardian Dumont.

[@ZUnknownFox]

@chj2 legacy was a new program.

[@knutritter461]

And you forget.... programs don't (hardly) develop themselves! 😉They do what they are programmed to do... 😉

[@gamechanger8908]

When it comes to their main directive programs in the Tron universe have a hard time improving, when it comes to other things some go above and beyond. Like how in uprising Paige was originally a medical program who helped treat programs with damaged code and she learned to become a skilled fighter, Beck a program who se purpose was building and fixing damaged vehicles like recognizers, light tanks, light cycles pretty much learned to become a competent security program(then again Tron gave him half of his identity disk which changed his color to Tron and maybe some of his system monitor code which he learned like NEO from the Matrix)

[@chemistryguy]

Tron attempted to connect with his User, but unfortunately He was busy uploading a log into the waste transporter at that time

[@RawPowerComics]

Every time you see how beautiful this movie is, it makes Tron Legacy look even more terrible by comparison. This movie gave us a vibrant and creative computer world. Tron Legacy gave us fog and rocks.

[@wj11jam78]

Both films look fantastic. Legacy had a much more sleek and modern appearance, which was better suited to Kevin's new system.

[@RawPowerComics]

@@wj11jam78 There's nothing sleek about mist and a bunch of rocks. And I defy you to look at any shot without context of any of those cyber cities and tell me what you're looking at. It looked awful.

[@Allronix]

Uprising showed that the Grid was plenty colorful at one point, but it deteriorated rapidly under Clu's "perfection" But if you want VIBRANT? Check out Tron 2.0. Not really canon, not really caring. And wouldn't take too much to file off a couple edges and make it compliant with Legacy canon

[@shakenama]

@XDemonRoxasX - It was very difficult to make this movie as the technology to combine live action with computer graphics didn't even exist yet. Computer animation was used in several scenes but any live-action shots were combined with hand-drawn animation. The Light Cycle Chase is an example. Many Disney animators refused to work on this film because they were worried that computers would put them out of business.

[@GoddessOfWhim2003]

@AvacadoDesperado then clearly you don't appreciate how long we've waited for this. Tron: Legacy was everything i coulda asked for. can't wait to get Legacy and see all the bonus stuff....provided it's not all on the Blu-Ray copy and not the regular, i'll be soo pissed. Legacy was a race against the clock with Sam trying to save himself and his father. Tron was a battle for freedom...kinda like Star Wars with Tron as Luke taking down the Death Star (the MCP here) with one small hit.

[@KizaruB]

I was expecting it to look like the thumbnail

[@McLarenMercedes]

Spoilers ahead for those who haven't seen Tron Legacy: Dumont's name appears on the garage Sam Flynn lives in. I wonder if that is the garage Dillinger was willing to arrange for his user to be sent back to?

I wonder if Dumont’s starting in a garage was a reference to Steve Jobs.

@shakenama Isn't that just the epitome of irony? If Disney Animators saw what we have now in 2010, back in 1982, they would have had a heart attack if they saw how the new TRON movie looks. It's just so funny considering that now movies are made on computers, and it's the industry standard. So weird how things have completely changed in almost 30 years.
