movies are cool
Genuinely loved this - great pacing especially with the soundtrack, efficient storytelling, the chase scenes are fantastic and Greta Lee! She elevates everything. Evan Peters! Gillian Anderson! The graphics are beautiful and I loved how it continued the tradition of opening and closing the new Tron movies with a Ducati riding into the distance.
Just...did it have to be Jared Leto? He pulls it off but a more robotic newcomer would have really nailed this role (and rescued the film from Leto's horrendous reputation which I'm certain drove people away from seeing it!).
I remember watching this when it came out; I myself was an art student who had recently visited the Barnes Collection at the original home. When I was there, I was sketching in my sketchbook (as art students are taught to do, for educational purposes). A guard came up to me and asked if I was an “academy student.” I said “I’m an art student.” He argued with me, and said that because I was not an enrolled, paying student…
I’m sorry but this movie is terrible??? I was cursed with watching this for the first time as an adult and I’m sorry to report that fresh eyes do this acclaimed film absolutely no justice
