Saw it last night. I enjoyed it. 3D wasn't over the top stupid. Good music too.

Not completely true. I think the first quarter (filmed to be real life) isn't in 3D.

I saw it on IMAX, and it was a really good film. Not for everyone, but if you've got a little geek in you it's worth watching.

Yeah, but the multi-level light cycle game was pretty cool.
daft punk gets sampled in a lot of "pop" music specifically here in the states. a lot of people have heard their music and dont even realize itI'm surprised anyone onwould admit to liking a Parisian Electro-Pop band.

I thought it was effing awesome! I just ordered a rebuild kit for my WARN hubs on Amazon, so I added the Daft Punk soundtrack to the order since I was getting free shipping.
ahhh yes... that's the kind of response I've come to expect from this place. Kudos to you buddy.

You do realize the original Tron movie came out almost 30 years ago? So pretty sure the Matrix would have the be the non-original one.
Don't see the connection to Star Wars at all.
Saw it last night in IMAX 3D. Loved it. The original was one of my favourite movies as a kid, and I'm really glad they didn't screw up this sequel as has happened with so many others.
Have to say that this is the first film I've seen in 3D where the 3D hasn't been gimmicky - yeah, there are a couple of little throwaway 'hey, look at this' eye-candy items, but overall it works well within the context of the film. It's not just there because they needed something else to make people buy a ticket; it really does give a better sense of involvement.
I don't get the Star Wars connection either, but there were definite Blade Runner influences in there, particularly the ending. Not a complaint by any means, though - and it makes sense, given that Syd Mead was majorly involved with all three films as a visual designer.

Alright, time to get nerdy.
Sam's dad was a fairly obvious ben kenobi character.
Go back to episode 4. Obi wan is an old, meditating master, who knows all the secrets of the world. Even the clothing and looks are so similiar.
Heck, even at the end of the movie, he sacrifices himself so that luke.. uhh i mean sam can escape destruction.
Blackgaurd = storm troopers
Clu = darth vader ( he even says "I am NOT your father" to sam)
Renziler = bobafett (untill the end)
Let me just breifly describe the end of the movie and lets see if you can tell if i am talking about episode 4 or Tron Legacy.
" both factions meet at a facility which has significant and dangerous capability if used by the antagonist. An elder gentleman playing the father figure sacrifices himself to be struck down by some sort of glowing energy based hand weapon in order for the rest of his allies to escape unharmed. Then the good guys complete their mission and then following a catastrophic explosion, they return to a more peaceful, but not perfectly safe world. the movie concludes with the both the father figure and antagonist questionably dead. While the hot chick and main characters enjoy their triumph in a forested area."
Any questions?

They also ripped a line straight from "Top Gun":
"Take the shot!"
Still and all, pretty good. Like most action/adventure movies, I wore ear plugs in the theater. Pretty good ones too. They cut 23 Db off the top. I think there was only a couple words of one sentence I missed. Why do they play the soundtrack so loud?

I think that's kind of a weak assessment. Yeah, there are some similarities but you're cherry picking from three different star wars movies to compare them to this movie. Yes, there are some similarities but its not really ripping on SW at all.
I mean, there's also Sam who doesn't want to take his father's company and just dicks around during his youth. By the end, he has come to realize his errors but realizes that he can't do it on his own. He ends up passing the company on to the family friend older mentor character. Obviously, this movie is channeling Billy Madison. See how easy that was?
