Hmmm... I'm starting to hear a LOT of bad reviews about the footage shown at Tron Night...
Blurry 3D, bad acting (well, Sam Flynn's actor, anyway), cheesy dialogue...

Anyone want to denounce these findings? Razz


Well, at the San Fransisco Screening, Director Kosinski was upset. After the screening he was talking with the guys from Skywalker Sound and they were discussing the things that were wrong with the footage. They said 2 scenes were dimmer than they were supposed to be, the audio was slightly out of sync a couple of times, but what infuriated Kosinski the most was the "popped out" 2D. He wanted the 2D to be in fact 2D. They noticed some "fluttering" in the 2D scenes. Kosinski said, He told them that when they made the master for Tron night, that the 2D parts were to be traditional 2D and not popped out. He said it was good he saw the footage now and not after the final master had been pressed because he wants it done right.

I myself didn't see the dimness or notice the audio being out of sync, but if you're 1.5 hours away putting the final touches on the audio effects, you will notice these things.

In essence, what we saw at Tron night might not be exactly how the movie turns out. Kosinski is just as passionate as the fans about making the movie turn out right. I have faith that this will result in a movie better than what we saw at Tron Night.

Also, on a plus note.... Kosinski remembered me from Comicon. Identity disc 079-500 is now signed by Kosinski Very Happy

 		Don't think it's because people always just want to complain about anything new. Garrett in those scenes was just wooden - nothing particularly engaging about him. I'm not hating the film or the scenes we saw - however out of context - but having the same reaction throughout the scenes hardly fills you with confidence.

The fact is some of us thought the scenes we saw really weren't outstanding - the opening scene was pretty dire in my opinion even though i love Bruce. Scenes in the Tron world fared better, but really didn't knock my eyeballs out.

I'm really looking forward to the film, and sure it'll be a fun blast, just not the second coming of 3D or movie-making. Long as expectations are kept at a certain level, then it'll be a great ride.

Anyway, don't take me too seriously, I enjoyed Alec Baldwin in The Shadow so am a deeply flawed individual :0)

 		The way I see it, the Sam Flynn character would have to suffer from some emotional blockage. His mother died. His father disappeared. He's expected to take control of a company that wants nothing to do with him, and he wants nothing to do with it.
Despite all that, I thought the character displayed appropriate levels of emotion and was believable.
I guess when it comes down to it, you either buy the guy or you don't.

I think blurry 3D must be issues with the particular cinemas the reports are coming from. There were no such issues at ours. Everyone commented on how stunning the 3D was!

I don't mind Garrett Hedlund's acting. I think people are judging him harshly on how he's acting a character they don't know. From my understanding Sam Flynn is a guy in his late twenties that acts jaded to hide the fact that he's emotionally wounded from being deserted at such a young age.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the first few scenes we see him portraying the tough, jaded persona. In the scenes where he first enters the Grid, he's in shock and it takes until the games before it starts to sink in. When he sees his dad for the first time in years, everything overwhelms him and he stands in shock as tears begin to fall. The fact that Kevin is so affected by the years he's been there doesn't help Sam in dealing with the revelation... something that Quorra could have prepared him for on the way to the safe house, but chose not to.
Now, I'm not sure how you'd all act if something like that happened to you, but I personally think Garrett's take on the emotional reactions, and his acting based on that, to be perfect.

As for dialogue, I didn't have a problem with it either.
Alan & Sam have hashed their convo out many times, and those from the digital world won't converse the same as people from the real world. Perhaps the people complaining should go back & watch Tron again to get a feel for the differences.

Personally, I just find a lot of people like to complain these days Very Happy

 		Good to know.
Doesn't matter, I'm still going to love this film to death even if it is 'bad'.
But I'm pretty sure it won't be Smile

 		IMO many of the "criticsms" are *highly* subjective and colored more by negative bias and overall the ultra bitchyness & snarky of elitist film snobs, and assorted trolls and jerks.

The acting and the dialogue is very good IMO. Some people are really either are not understanding certain characters within the context of the story, or are just plain hating on things because they have a bug up their but for some unknown reason.

There seems to be people, and kids that LOVE to bash, critcise and hate on anything that is highly marketed, big-budget, and advertized as a "big, must-see" movie watching experience. As if only small films with no hype or little to no advertizing are only good.

Which is sad, because not all "big budget" "mass marketed" movies equel "bad movie", Jurassic Park, the original Star Wars trilogy, and others had huge marketing push and turned out excellent. All big budget movies do not equel "Transformers:Rise of the Fallen" or the bloated, uneccessary Clash of the Titans remake or the A-Team remake, or some such....
These would be trolls and "critics" bitching about the acting and dialog, or that the film isn't "3-D enough" need a nice big cup of STFU.

That's one of the founding principles of the internet: everything new sucks until something newer comes along and the previous thing sucks less by comparison. Rolling Eyes


Sorry to be so off-topic to the post right now but I do find a lot of people complaining on things nowadays. I dunno but it's like you just find them everywhere.. it's like it's contagious. It's like you are giving a beggar ten bucks and then will never be satisfied and would throw it right away. I know this because I find these kind of people on the L4D and L4D2's Steam forums A LOT. When Valve tries to give them more free (and cool) stuff worth more than their money they always try to complain about it (or look on it on a pessimistic view). I dunno.. people are just too demanding nowadays..

Not trying to be over the top, or to complain that much BUTTTTTTTT Tron Night indeed sucked! The acting itself was not the problem, or the sound. I saw it in Vancouver, and while barely anyone seemed interested and the fact that there was only 20 or so people in a place that holds hundreds ( which says a lot!!!) welll anyhow we got to see 6 or so random scenes and they were ok, but I don't think I will see the movie anymore. Really boring action and story was really boring as well. I'd be the first one to say it was cool cause I loved the first one and all Disney films, but it just left me bored and not wanting to see any more. The 23 mins seemed more then enough for me. Some cool sequences and the disc wars were really nice to see, but to pay $15? I'd say skip it. Ok acting/story, Effects cool but nothing new. 3d fairly poor. I thought this film would be revolutionary like the first, and I thought that's why they waited so long to make TRON LEGACY, but I was very wrong about that. Coming from a big fan, it's the disappointment of a lifetime , film wise.

I have no idea why, but your comments make me totally laugh. Thanks for taking the time to post that you aren't actually going to see the film. Thanks for sharing that you were bored and disappointed. I'm sorry to see you got the disappointment "of a lifetime". At least you aren't over the top, and it's good to see you trying to help your fellow tron fan with your opinions. I can only recommend to you that you totally purge yourself of anything Tron, forget the movie even exists and never post on this forum again. Maybe then you can get past this and be clean again. There will be a lot better movies coming out in the future, and that is where you should concentrate your time and effort. Good Luck.

You're welcome! I can't see how anyone will not see the movie after that footage. Waiting 28 years for a sequel is enough if a reason to go. I don't think he went to the same 23 minutes of the same movie I went to. Well done MovieLord!
