Inspired by the linked XKCD. Using 60% instead of 50% because that's an easy filter to apply on rottentomatoes.

I'll go first: I think "Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows" was awesome, from the plot to the characters ,and especially how they used screen-play to highlight how Sherlocks head works in these absurd ways.

I tend to like sci-fi in this category such as Stargate, Dune (1984), and the Riddick films.

TRON Legacy is my favorite of the bunch, however. Incredible soundtrack, gorgeous costume design, and plenty of character.

I really liked Tron Legacy. I keep hearing the next one in the works so cautiously awaiting to see what they release next.

If Daft Punk isn't doing the music, I won't even bother being interested

[-] wavebeam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Didn’t Daft Punk break up last year? I guess I would suggest not even bothering with considering hopes at this point.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

yup. Although with the amount of people wanting to see them in the movie, it's possible that they still might do it with enough cash, err I mean incentives

TRON Legacy is one of those movies where I watch it purely for its visuals and music. It's a let down in terms of story and action, but I stop everything to look at it when its on.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

It's an excellent long-form Daft Punk video.

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Not as good as Interstella 5555, but that's in part because Discovery is a perfect album.

[-] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I loved the film, but I can't think too hard about it. I treat it like a really long music video. It was such a fun watch.

A long music video is pretty much how I sell it, lol. Also a good movie to watch while in an altered state (it's my go-to movie when I get really sick/feverish).

Stargate, Dune (1984), and the Riddick films

I like those too, in particular Dune and the Chronicles of Riddick, but they all have audience scores above 60% (and Stargate and Dune are from the last millennium if we're sticking to that requirement).

[-] inconceivabull@lemmy.film 3 points 1 year ago

Tron Legacy, at least to me, was an example of a film that was let down by poor editing, especially during the fight scenes.

I wanted to like TRON: Legacy. I didn't.

There's one reason the original TRON wouldn't play today, and it's not the 1980s fake computer graphics. It's the pacing. TRON is slow. There's no jitter. It looks like a 1980s video game, not a 21st-century video game.

Or, really, just contrast the Wendy Carlos score with the Daft Punk one. The original is majestic swoops through a digital dreamscape, not jitterbug pop for robot dancers.

[-] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

A thought that may help you enjoy Tron: Legacy - The pacing and style changes are meant to represent the changes in computer technology and specifically gaming, between the eras when the two films came out.

In TRON, there's a mechanistic pacing that reflects the early computer clock cycles.

In TRON: Legacy, there's a lot of imagery and plotting around characters trying to find peace, or achieve slowness, or even just rythm - trying to escape the attention starved modern algorithm.
