Tron: Legacy (2D and 3D) - Page 3

Very effective IMHO. If they preserve the AR changes, though, I don't think they will keep common-top. They'll just center the 2.4:1 scenes in the middle. I would be surprised, anyway.

I'm annoyed there isn't a 2 disc blu-ray of both films. I don't want DVDs and digital copies. I don't want to pay for special packaging. I want both movies as high quality blu-rays. Period.

It seems that this should be available in the $35 range. Grrr.

But there's about 43 minutes of the movie in the IMAX version that go from a 2.4 aspect ratio, which is the aspect ratio that's in most theaters—all RealD, Dolby, and standard 2D prints are 2.4:1, it's called "scope" aspect ratio. In IMAX, there are 43 minutes where it goes to 1.77 which is 16 x 9, which almost fills an IMAX screen.

Seriously, though, the movie looks better in 1.85:1 (to me anyways), so I really hope it just stays there.

I think if you never saw the original, you're less likely to like it now. Let's face it, the effects that were incredibly groundbreaking back then are very dated now (though the light cycle sequence is still very impressive). Plus, the original TRON story moves much slower by comparison - slower cuts, longer stretches between action scenes and a lot less intensity expressed by the actors. Remember, this was one of the earliest movies where actors had to react to nothing being there. Today, actors have no excuse - they should expect it.

That being said, if you can appreciate something like Poltergeist or the original Clash of the Titans (which both came out around that same period of time) despite the limitations of special effects of the time, you'll likely enjoy the original TRON. For example, if you can look past the grainy optical composites and appreciate the art involved with Ray's stop motion effects in Clash or look past the bad composites of objects floating the the kids bedroom or the almost laughable "face tearing" scene in Poltergeist - then enjoy the house implosion, you'll be able to overlook the occasional bleeding of the lights on the clothing and the very simple computer graphics in the original TRON.

I am hoping this movie was mixed with 7.1 audio like Toy Story 3 was and hopefully the blu ray will be the same.
The sound and music in the theater was awesome.
