Over the weekend I finally saw the new "Tron: Legacy"...twice. I enjoyed it so much, I took my younger daughter with me the 2nd time. One night later, she went again. This time with my wife. I'm hoping to see it one more time before it leaves our theater. The music, the visuals, the sound. I absolutely loved the movie and came back with my first real 'movie experience' in years. It's one of those movies I'll remember when I saw it in the theater.
I've been a fan of Tron ever since the original was released. It really made an impact on me at the time. It was such a great idea and concept. A world inside a computer or video game. I also pumped many quarters into the arcade game. Over the years, it had become a fading memory. Though a memory I would reference every so often.
In 2002, I bought my first DVD. It was the 20th Anniversary of Tron. My wife was like, "I"ve never even heard you mention this movie before. That's what you want to buy?"
In 2003, my hopes were raised as the PC game "Tron 2.0" was released. I swooped it up and really enjoyed it. The beginning of the game was frustrating and hard, but once I worked through that, the game ended up being a really exciting time. I still have fond memories of many of the levels and puzzles.
The following year (2004) I bought "TRON 2.0: Killer App" for the Gameboy Advance. I enjoyed it, but the shining part were the minigames and port of the Tron arcade game.
