Retrieve a hit movie for a sequel that hits theaters 28 years after the original title, has its dangers. Do with a film that in its day was not too successful but over the years has become a cult, it sounds too risky for Hollywood (although there is more risk ... and with less fear of a bump). And those fears at the time of producing a film, have an understandable reflection of those who admire the merits of the original film. How easy it is to forget the original and make an entirely new film that has little or nothing to do with the spirit of that mythical title. But here's Tron, continued late Tron. And what has been achieved is a unique visual spectacle, a delight for the senses, a true and genuine science-fiction proposal for the XXI century indebted to the 80's of XX century and faithful to what we had then. Quite an experience which, like the original film, is already a corner in my heart fan of science fiction. things first. The story does not seem, a priori, the most important of Tron . And yet, the plot of the movie fits perfectly with what Tron left original. It is a great little twist to the ideas that inspired Steven Lisberger to create this universe. The dialogue, as usual, are not wonderful, but they get to listen in the context of a good story. The characters are equally well built, from the legendary Jeff Bridges Flynn to his son (Garrett Hedlund, who debuted in Troy ) through software and the two sexy women in history, Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett or eccentric overreacted and Michael Sheen (Tony Blair in The Queen ). No longer a little joy to see here the other actor who repeats from the original, Bruce Boxleitner (Cindy Morgan, the leading actress Tron does not appear in this issue), like the nod to the son of Dillinger (David Warner in the film , 1982), played in a brief cameo by Cillian Murphy (the Scarecrow in the Batman movies by Christopher Nolan.) All this, without being the highlight of the tape, it works.
And it works because it has built around the newcomer director Joseph Kosinski an overwhelming visual environment, beautiful and terribly creative. All part of a logical process. Tron is , yes, but mostly it's an evolution Tron natural. We're not in the 80's, old arcade machines are no longer used. Today we live in a technological environment that required another approach. And Tron show gets to perfection, from the foreground of one of the virtual machines that updates the old original graphics. Several highlights have this delusion that visual (and sound, are very suitable for both sound effects and the wonderful soundtrack, so modern and retro, Daft Punk), and one of them, how could it be otherwise , is the iconic scene of motorcycle light, so exciting and visually beautiful. This sequence finds its reflection, as if in a mirror game, in all parallel developments that share the first film and this sequel, including part of the final climax.
A great piece of visual pleasure that is also in the locker room and throughout the film developed from the original concepts, evolved to model a credible environment in 2010. It works because everything that comes through the eye works Tron. The universe is credible, the appearance of the characters is believable, and credible vision of the environment. Even the 3D is credible, although it seems a joke during the first half hour of film, in which the damned glasses do not seem necessary (Including a sign warning of the presence of 2D scenes shot so that the viewer does not have the feeling that you are kidding.) There, in fact, is the main Achilles heel of the film segments that seem to become too long, and the introduction is one of them. is that of a 3D Tron curious. Made, say, using the same techniques that Avatar but a step ahead, benefiting from the strange effect that the light of the virtual environment has on the figures and scenarios. I do not know if it was really necessary or how it will look all in the two traditional dimensions, but the conclusion is that the film is visually beautiful and it is likely that 3D will also contribute to it. For
find a visual fault is in the face rejuvenated Jeff Bridges to give life to its sister program in the virtual environment, Clu. Is said to have used the same techniques that added and removed years Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button , but at times was more akin to giving effect Beowulf. This was too cartoon. Squeaks in some scenes that face altered by computer in a world where even the computer graphics look real. The film makers were aware of this and why Tron, which should Boxleitner its face appears in most of the time with a helmet. Over the years also note the influence of other titles that have nothing to do with Tron, and it is not difficult to find seed planted Matrix fight scenes. At least, Kosinski not get carried away by this sickening trend in the cinema today to move the camera and offers a movie sense, with all its modernity, classical in their approach. That, added to the mix of textures gives the film according to the environment or the time to address, make Tron a small rarity in modern science fiction.
If you like Tron , you'll like Tron . If you like science fiction will enjoy this sequel. If special effects are your thing, here's one of those feasts that you can not miss. But if you fancy a touch of innocence and boundless entertainment was the fantastic 80's, here's your chance to rejuvenate a few years without complex and enjoy how as a child. Is that what has happened to me.
