I watched the 4K TRON on Sunday afternoon - man, did it look good! Legacy is going to look nice too. I wish I could actually see it in 3D as it is one of the few movies that was filmed for 3D and actually took advantage - not many movies outisde of Avatar have done that.

Going to see TRON: Ares tonight - I'll let everyone know how it is. I am really hoping it is good.

I thought release was on October 10?

They always have Thursday night screenings, but the "official" opening day is still usually Fridays.

Anwyay, I did see it and it's pretty good. It has a real music video kind of vibe, which is not necessarily a bad thing because the soundtrack indeed goes hard. I did like...

Spoiler

...that this movie is not about a benevolent AI who decides to go bad, but rather a bad AI who decides to do good. It's the anit-Terminator!

It doesn't pick up much on threads from the previous movie, though there are several references. That's a story that may never get told - maybe if this one is actually a big hit. I guess we'll see.

Saw it last night with my buddy who I go see MCU and Star Wars with. We liked it. It had some loose motivations that I wasn't totally sold on for some of the characters. The soundtrack was good but I think Legacy did it better. The CGI was really good. It was an enjoyable popcorn movie.

Trying to see it this weekend… but rest of party seems more invested in K Pop Disgusted Hampers instead

Saw it today in Dolby. I think that is the most my seat has ever rocked for a movie, maybe the music was just that loud. Visually it was stunning, great work there. Music of course was excellent. Good casting. I felt like the story was predictable, and DS#2 felt the script was really weak. He had a couple specific ~ yeah that didn't work but overall I think it was good. Will it be a huge hit, that I don't know. DS#1 usually takes a 3rd quarter nap but he was awake and focused the whole time. I don't think it ever really slowed down. Glad to see in theater on the big screen, at home def won't be the same.
