Another nice thing was seeing all the shots of my home city of Vancouver (it's cool that we're being regarded as the "techie" city for a lot of sci-fi shows and movies to be shot in), though I was a bit disappointed in the last shots while they were driving along the Lion's Gate bridge when they showed the sky scene. Could they not have found a more sunny Vancouver day to show the sun?? I mean, it rains a lot here and there is a lot of overcast, but we do get some glorious clear sunny days now and again!

Damn, I hadn't even realised! I walked across that bridge quite a few times when I lived there. And once I came home from Vancouver, for several years after, I would recognise bits of the city in tv shows and movies. hell, even the the production studio Lions Gate gets its name from that bridge!

The giant door to Encom - Sam hacks the giant door and says "Now that's a big door" It was pretty much the same thing Kevin did and said in the original

The door is the only thing I picked up on. And having only revisited the original movie a month or so ago, it seemed like it was THE door from the original!

I thought the movie was ok. Much better than I expected it to be.
However, it really does not compare to the original. I rewatched the original at my friends house on his HD projector just last night. The original world of Tron is much more colorful and detailed than the remake. The remake is pretty much all black with some glowing lines. Very disappointing, and not very creative.
Also, there is much more warmth and personality in the original characters.
I can rewatch Tron over and over again, and still Love it. However, I dont think I could enjoy Legacy over and over. I was cringing at the poor, emotionless, & "flat" (boring) acting of the main character. The girl was pretty hot... but there was very little connection made with her. Bridges was great as always.. but it was hard to believe that he was behind the plot (he was smarter than that, Imop), and that he acted so very different from his original role.
The original Flynn was fun, charismatic, having that Peter-Pan like spirit in him. If he were to build up the World of Tron, Imop... it would have been a LOT more colorful and fun.
The 3D was pathetic!!! There were very few scenes where I could see depth in the picture. It was almost as if they intentionally made the depth effect very shallow.. to pretty much non-existent. A real Rip-Off for us 3d fans.
I have a feeling that they were not sure how well Tron Legacy would do... and decided not to invest in the expensive 3d conversion process for most of the film.
CGI : I really didnt like how they altered CLU to have a jawline that matched the main actors jawline. While it may have been more realistic in the sense of genetics... it rubs me all sorts of wrong with my connection to how young Flynn / Bridges looked... and how drastic the alteration was.
Tron : I didnt like how he maintained the Helmet at all times.
One a scale of 100, Id probably rate the original a 78.
Legacy.. Probably more like a 66.

My first thought on that scene was actually "Tailgunner!", but then as the scene progressed I was waiting for some sort of Star Wars reference in the dialogue but they didn't do it.
BobA:
I liked it for mainly nostalgia reasons. Nice to see the references and development of Encom. Going to Flynn's was a total trip back in time. Too bad most arcades are long gone and will never be back. The whole movie had an old tron look to it and it felt good. No super graphics but they were better than the original and the plot seemed to hold together. I did not think that the 3 D added to the movie but we will probably see alot more of it in the future. Give it 7 light cycles out of 10.
