knew =/= newAnd there was nothing wrong with the old movie. It was original in every respect, and I'm not talking about their use of "polygon graphics in the age of raster/vector graphics" either. People back then really had to write their own programs to be productive on the corporate environment.BTW, did you know that facility where they shot the LASER sequence is real? As in really, there's a big honkin' LASER in there, except for the part where Flynn gets de-ressed while sitting on that workstation. That facility shoots LASERs into special objects to recreate the fusion explosions on the Sun.   See 8 other replies

IMAX is a trademarked standard. A regular theater with a bigger-than-usual screen cannot just claim that label without being sued. Being an IMAX theater to its fullest form is non-negotiable. It's the 3D showings which can be misleading. A regular theater can get fitted with the Real3D Digital 3D technology projectors and claim the 3D label, even if the effect isn't as convincing. An IMAX 3D Theater is already an IMAX Theater but with the dual-polarized-projector equipment and required-polarized glasses for the 3D effect.Case in Point: Here in the Virginia Peninsula, there is THE IMAX Theater in which to go, at the Virginia Air and Space Museum. All the shows are in IMAX, but only the ones which were produced using the IMAX 3D cameras can be shown in IMAX 3D. Avatar was shot in several formats, that's why it could be shown anywhere; in regular widescreen, in 3D-enhanced widescreen, and up to IMAX 3D.   See 4 other replies

I think make that "most never seeing the first" when it comes to the target audience.   See 8 other replies

If you're referring to the young guy, that would be Flynn Junior, so no, he wouldn't have been paying the property taxes on his dad's old business establishment. The man who gave him the keys (Bruce Boxleitner, remember him from Babylon 5?) was in Old Tron, one of his dad's closest friends and not-incidentally was the writer/user for the Tron program.I don't think Flynn Senior meant it as some sort of booby trap. Of course he knows the potential of the LASER, he was the first, and until this time, only victim of it; getting molecularly-decompiled and digitized as it were into the computer environment. That was the story of Old Tron after all.I believe he didn't believe anybody would be crazy enough to follow him into the virtual world. Looks to me that he went more than a little bit power hungry and got re-digitized to rule the entire computer world from the inside. That power of course would stem from being the head of the now-all-powerful ENCOM company; that's how Old Tron ended, with the young genius supplanting the old pretender, with his two closest friends who helped him-out when nobody else would being in Senior Management by now. I suppose he never imagined his pal being so desperate for his welfare so as to give his estranged son the "keys to the castle", as it were.
All those parts I understand completely. I'm just questioning the execution of this storyline. It's like they're trying to appeal to the watchers who are familiar with the preceding movie, but to me that doesn't make sense because the computing environment was so different back then and it seems foolish to try and re-hash it for today's environment.   See 8 other replies

I think the suspension of disbelief will be something only the more faithful fans will find tough to swallow. I refer you to the Star Wars prequels being favorites of younger people whereas the older generation is still devoted to episodes 4-6. A new generation of fans are going to see this movie (some never seeing the first) and it will open their imaginations to the possibilities a virtual world has.   See 8 other replies
