So i just saw Tron: Legacy.
In 3D :(
At the start of the film a message says that some scenes are meant to be shown in 2D, and will be. So i ask, why screen it at all in 3D. Tron is the first EVER film i've seen in 3D, new or old, and before i simply didn't see the point in 3D, but now, i really fucking hate it. It gave nothing to the viewing experience, NOTHING, I'm hoping its a fade, like the many times in the past where 3D reared its ugly head to world cinema and faded away to a bitter memory.
At this point in the blog i was going to type;
[SPOILERS]
and write a brief review, but, even thought its been an hour since it finished i'm still not quiet sure what to make of it. During some scenes i got goose bumps, but that could of been due to the musical score. When the film finished, i actually wished it would continue for another hour or so, it seemed to end before its 1 hour and 45 minute run time. Maybe i just answered my own question of weather or not i liked it.
When a film seems to move at a high rate of speed and end, you sitting there hoping it'll continue because it can't possibly be over in such a short space of time, looking down at the back lit digital read out on your watch you realise that you've been sitting in that, rather nice, comfortable leather seat for nearly 2 hours.
I know when i dislike a film, i'm sitting there wondering if it'll ever end, slow, boring, my body starts to tell me that its had enough by telling my bladder that its about time i had a piss, now the viewing is slow, boring and uncomfortable. Tron: Legacy was none of these.
I like the characters, i like the story, and i like the end.
I would say that the GCI was outstanding, and it was, but in a movie this big, with that amount of money, thats to be expected, and great CGI does not a great film make.
To have a great film you need Great Characters, and a Great Story. I guess i have to decide weather those traits were great, or simply good with regards to Tron: Legacy.
I'll leave that for later.
Night all.
