Height of music? I dunno... Bach? Stravinsky? Coltrane? The Beatles? Morricone? Certainly not Daft Punk. They are overrated to begin with -more notable for the videos they inspire than the music itself- but now that they have a job scoring a blockbuster movie, they seem to have abandoned whatever originality they once had in favor of creating extremely generic sounding Hollywood film music. No personality. It could have been written by anyone. Boring.
They should have gone with someone unambiguously badass, like Richard D. James of Aphex Twin, or Squarepusher. Hell, you could just license stuff from their back catalogs and it would be infinitely better than this dreck, and probably less expensive.

Exactly what I was thinking. Daft Punk has certainly had some catchy tracks over the years, but wow is this one boring. I haven't heard any of the rest of this supposed soundtrack, but if this is any indication...meh.

I've always wondered how a soundtrack from Ronald Jenkees would sound...especially if he could move a little away from the synth sounds he seems to favor. Most of his music would really overpower any scene, and soundtracks take a little more thought on how to finesse the music into people's ears along with what's on screen.

That's a lot of fanfare for such an unremarkable piece of music.

Since you know about color, what did they do in Seven and Fight Club? I always felt they messed with the colors in those movies aswell, but it doesnt seem to be using teal/orange, more like yellow/brown or something.

Looks like shit.

I have an original cell from the 1st film, and love everything about Tron. This, however, looks like just another dumb pseudo-romantic "epic" POS, which abuses the ORANGE AND TEAL color grading crap that every other film keeps slogging.

The original Tron was BLUE AND RED. Not orange and teal! wtf?

Thanks for the education - but now you've ruined all future movies for me...
I didn't even get to choose between the blue pill or the red pill
>> ^volumptuous:

Yes of course I don't like the colors.
It's not only because the original Tron was BLUE vs RED. But also because every film coming out the last five years or so has done the overused bullshit Orange and Teal color grading nonsense.
Look, before a film is in the can, it goes through a color correction process done on a multi-million dollar machine called a Davinci, with a colorist controlling the whole thing. This process is used to do corrections on bad saturation levels, making sure teeth aren't yellow, and making sure skies are blue. It's also used to heavily influence color, do tricks, and re-color shots in creative ways.
But, lately the directors have been going nuts with ORANGE & TEAL. Don't believe me?

This is the color-grading equivalent of a photoshop lens flare.
I've done massive amounts of telecine/divinci color correction sessions, and have worked as a color designer for many many years. Color is my specialty, and is the biggest reason why I ever get hired on projects. So when I see one of my favorite feature films of alltime being shit on by the easy hollywood hack system, I get a little offended.

I don't find the specific colors as annoying as the extreme saturation that's omnipresent in movies. It's more acceptable here than almost anywhere else. That's what people like, though. Show a realistically colored image side-by-side with a high-contrast, high-saturation image and the vast majority will say the latter is more realistic and more appealing.

Color aside, "dumb pseudo-romantic epic" is a pretty good description of the first Tron. Maybe throw a "goofy" and "corny" in there, too, for good measure.

I absolutely love all of the Tron Legacy trailers! They're all so very satisfying.

Seriously, that's your criticism? You don't like the colors? The colors?

I have no idea whether this will be a good film or not, because after all, it's just a trailer. But I like to think I'd not pass judgment based on such a trite detail as what color the outfits were, the way an 8 year old girl might.

I'm disappointed, volump.

I think young Flynn may supposed to look unreal since he is a an evil version of some program that Real Flynn designed... or something...


Yes, but as I said, if that IS their intention, they should have made him look Obviously fake. As he stands it looks like they're trying to make him look real and failing.

I've not yet checked out any previews for Civ5 (I know I know, an affront to fellow strategy gamers and my early years playing Civ1), but I'm definitely looking forward to it, and SC2 hype is a given (it's currently slated for July, btw). Having said that, screw WOW and screw the Harry Potter movie. While both are appealing to the masses, I'd hardly call them quality products in their genres (I'd say that WOW is polished and generating an assload of revenue for Bobby fucking Kotick, sure, but like many MMORPGs it operates on an immoral foundation (grinding) not unlike that of Farmville, therefore I can't condone it).

Now entertainment-wise, I'm hyped for to Episode 3 of HL2, which just *might* be coming out this holiday season, Crysis 2, and Aliens: Colonial Marines. As far as movies currently set for a fall release go, I'm looking forward to Red and Tron Legacy.
