Most of these ended up being forgettable films that added nothing to the conversation, but there was one sequel that managed to do something different and unique \u2014 <\/span><b><i>Tron: Legacy<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tron: Legacy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">builds upon the, uh, legacy of the 1982 cult hit <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tron<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with visuals just as spectacular as those in the original film, a neat story about fatherhood, and one of the best movie soundtracks of the century \u2014 all while incidentally paving the way to our current slate of blockbuster filmmaking. Get on your light cycle and hit play on that Daft Punk score, because we\u2019re heading back to the Grid for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tron: Legacy.<\/span><\/i><br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post --><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Pitch\"><\/span><b>The Pitch<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The original <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tron <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was a revolutionary sci-fi film that combined live-action with cutting edge computer animation, featuring some of the first extensive use of CGI in cinema \u2014 something that earned the film an Academy Award for Technical Achievement. The problem was that the film did not make money, coming out during a bit of a rough patch for Disney. So, when Disney decided to make a sequel to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tron <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">three decades later, it was a very big gamble.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For one, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tron: Legacy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was the feature directorial debut of Joseph Kosinski, who had previously worked on TV commercials, including some for video <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s like\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Halo 3 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gears of War<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Like the original film, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tron: Legacy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">would employ the best special effects of its time to create an expansive world. Adding to the gamble was the hiring of French electronic music duo, Daft Punk, to compose the music.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The film tries to replicate the sense of awe seen in the original film by creating a massive CGI world that could only exist at the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>, but also tell a story that comments on god complexes and even the very nature of movie sequels. But rather than do so with the optimistic tone of the original, which arrived during the dawn of widespread personal computers in the \u201980s, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legacy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">takes a much more pessimistic approach \u2014 fitting for the age of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> and internet surveillance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Movie\"><\/span><b>The Movie<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the most part, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legacy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">succeeds at what it tries to accomplish. Though not as revolutionary as the original, the film\u2019s virtual world is absolutely stunning \u2014 and visually distinct from other similar worlds thanks to a rare case of desaturated colors in a film actually working. The gladiator battle scenes where two programs fight to the death using their identity disks are stunning, as are the iconic light cycle races, which get an added dimension in this film as they are done across several vertical levels that the cycles can jump up and down from before obliterating their opponents. <\/span><br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 --><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the aspect of the film most people remember is Daft Punk\u2019s perfect score, which combines orchestral sounds with their trademark electronic music and set the stage for their next couple of albums. Seriously, whether you\u2019ve somehow avoided this score for a decade or just forgot about it, listen to \u201c<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=m4cgLL8JaVI&amp;ab_channel=DisneyMusicVEVO\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Derezzed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d again. This and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Social Network <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">came out in the same year and gave us two of the best soundtracks of the decade. As Jeff Bridges\u2019 Flynn would say: \u201cBio-digital jazz, man\u201d!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the actual movie and what it tries to say, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tron: Legacy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a surprisingly effective exploration of father-son relationships and movie sequel commentary. The entire plot is about Flynn\u2019s son, Sam, learning to live his own life outside his father\u2019s shadow and reckoning with Flynn\u2019s legacy. The film juxtaposes Sam\u2019s story with that of CLU, Flynn\u2019s digital creation meant to create \u201cthe perfect system.\u201d Naturally, that creation goes mad, commits genocide, and hunts his creator because he deems him imperfect. Like Sam, CLU spends his entire life doing what he thought his creator wanted him to do, even as Flynn recognizes he\u2019s not the same man he was back then, and he shouldn\u2019t have tried to create a perfect system in the first place. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, this is not unlike the movie itself, or any sequel for that matter. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tron: Legacy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not only had to deliver a satisfying story for newcomers \u2013 it had to reconcile what fans of its predecessor thought they wanted 30 years ago versus what they wanted in 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Legacy\"><\/span><b>The Legacy<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s hard not to see this movie as the first step in our current blockbuster landscape. As Kambole Campbell recently wrote in an excellent article for <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2020\/12\/17\/22179890\/tron-legacy-deaging-effect-disney\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polygon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the way <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tron: Legacy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">makes its villain a CG replica of a human actor who tries to create a utopia without room for unpredictability, potential or creativity feels like an eerie omen for the way studios now act. Digital de-aging is quickly taking over major Hollywood productions, from prestige projects like\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Irishman<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, to blockbusters like Marvel and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star Wars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then there are projects like\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gemini Man<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, another film with a protagonist hunted by a CG replica of his younger self.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tron: Legacy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hold up today is that CLU doesn\u2019t <em>need<\/em> to be realistic or even look \u201cgood\u201d in the typical sense of the word. CLU is not supposed to be a life-like creation, but a mistake who believes itself to be pure perfection. A decade after <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tron: Legacy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it feels like CLU actually won. Studios are so obsessed with monolithic perfection that they eliminate everything that breaks the norm, no matter their potential. Yes, in this weird allegory, the firing of Lord and Miller from the set of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solo<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0or Edgar Wright from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ant-Man <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is like when CLU killed every single one of the ISO (a weird, miraculous race of digital people).
