It was so boring and uninspired. Reminiscence - The movie. Just regurgitating everything we saw in the original.
I found it strange that the modern TRON felt so much more lifeless and drab than the original's, given the limitations on the original's technology. The worldbuilding was flatter, the characters were extra flatter, and the villain's plan didn't make any sense.
I almost wish he'd succeeded so that we could have seen Clu's giant digital aircraft carrier trying to squeeze through that laser emitter and cram itself into the basement of an abandoned arcade. Either it would wreck itself instantly or it'd come out as a wee little tiny thing, equally amusing outcomes.
Sometimes I feel like the only person on the planet that enjoyed the movie. It's my guilty pleasure watch.
I mean, everyone's entitled to their own tastes. I've got my own guilty pleasures that I can readily admit aren't widely liked - the old TV series "Lexx", for example. Whenever I talk about that one I open with "Let me be clear that I'm not actually recommending this." :)
I tried, and bounced off Lexx. And just went right on back to Farscape. Which...
Small band of misfit/outlaw aliens traveling in a living space ship having adventures and misadventures, both made as two-nation collaborations. And I'm not sure why I liked one and not the other.
Well, Lexx has a very different vibe to it. I would add "thinks it's soft-core porn but it's awkward and nobody actually gets lucky" to Lexx's version of that description. :)
Yeah Farscape didn't mind being sexy sometimes, but it never felt like it was trying to be whacking material.
