Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Nintendo Picard I know that the first two TRON movies have their fans. The first movie touched on some intriguing subjects and ideas, but it was still very bland and boring despite visiting an entirely new idea for the sci- fi genre. I cam find a certain amount of enjoyment in it due to its more intelligent nature despite its usual Disney campyness and forced "maturity" at times. Its sequel, however, showed just how boring a movie can be when it focuses purely on action and pays almost no heed to story. There's explosions . . . explosions . . . unlikable characters who try to sound like we should like them . . . and more explosions--the usual Disney action movie formula (at least there's a more clear-cut difference between good and evil). It took me a few times watching these movies to realize their problems, especially with "Legacy", because for a while I too had just jumped on the "impressive visual effects train" that makes one forget how bad a movie really is until we take a step back and analyze how the story and characters measure up to high standards of quality and just real life in general. Three years later, I was browsing on Netflix for a good sci-fi series and found this. I was a little put off by the maturity rating, but seeing as I had seen some impressively good "children's shows" in the past, I decided to give it a try. And it was amazing. First of, this series really should be rated TV-PG. It doesn't matter that it aired on Disney XD or that the programs die by breaking up into little bits of code so there's no blood. These are the representations of PEOPLE merely in the form of compressed energy. It doesn't need to be called a kid's show just because it's animated. In fact, being in the genre of animation fits the TRON series perfectly, not adhering the the rigid designs of reality. There's a lot of room for creativity and flourish in the character designs. With that point aside, this series embodies everything that the first TRON movies should have been; there's steady, well-done character development, surprising plot twists, and many diverse characters that you can't help but love even when they're the bad guys. Take Pavel, for instance. He's sadistic, selfish, and all- around insane when he gets into his "homicidal maniac" mode. But then there are smaller, quieter scenes where he's just planning for his schemes in the future--which can be extremely chilling when you see snippets of what he's done--or when the writers just decided to poke fun at his unstable quirks. Every character absolutely bursts with energy, from Pavel to Beck's hilariously introverted friend Zed who tends to get into more trouble than he really should. There are a few instances where the writers slipped and make it a little obvious that this is a kid's show--a couple of plot holes here and there or an awkward line or delivery, but those barely hampered my enjoyment of this complex, 3-dimensional series that anyone can enjoy. Sadly, at the moment you can only watch "Uprising" on Amazon Prime, but if you have the streaming service I highly recommend buying it. Show Disney what they've let go of and give it at least four stars and a good review for a job well done. Who knows, maybe the fans can help bring it back one day?
Jatt Mohn When I heard that Tron:Legacy was being made I was overjoyed with excitement and couldn't wait for its release. The original had been a childhood favourite and I admired it as an adult not only for its concept but also the innovative design. So was a little dismayed by the dark and quite frankly stupid film that made it to the cinema in 2010.What was this film? Where was the gripping action? Why did the whole plot seem to be about following each other in circles? Why was there a scene in a bar?I could go on, but it seems that they saved all the decent stuff for this barely publicised animation series.I have only recently started watching animation that isn't Family Guy, South Park etc so was a little sceptical of it at first but after 20 mins of not blinking, mouth open, staring gormlessly at the TV I realised that I was totally enthralled.Great series for fan's of the film, animation and generally good things.
eitanshapir Tron uprisingthis TV show is awesome the first TV show that i really love it! 1.this show has most dramatic times i ever saw in my all life and real dramatic not like the others TV shows. 2.this show shows you the real relationship between friend even if you lied to your best friends that you are not who they think you are or who you are really is, this show shows you sad times, happy times, scary times, dramatic times, adult times (i mean adult times like someone died with a lot of cube blood or something like that and it's really awesome!), cool times (the technology of the cars, people and every thing in there) and a lot of other amazing times. to make it all in few words THIS TV SHOW IS AMAZING! KEEP THAT WAY!From Eitan
sadako11 Pros: Direction Animation Music Sound Voice acting Vehicles, machines, characters and location designs.Cons: -Pretty darn dull computer civilization. The people from this world seems to just go to work and then to a club and then to work again and engage in mundane conversations. These people appears to have no hopes or dreams or gods or questions about their origins. Most of them seem to don't care about the bad guys occupying their cities and you see them even enjoying their games. -Pretty darn dull main character "The Renegade" -Pretty darn dull and unimaginative script. -Pretty darn dull, unimaginative and repetitive Kung-fu fighting. Apparently the only special ability the main character has is punching and kicking. I wish him and Tron could have a little of the "user power" shown by Clue in the original film to modify their surroundings for their advantage. Clue reassemble a recognizer in seconds in the original film.I have watched the first 14 episodes so far and I will keep watching because I have high hopes that the series will get better. The directing, looks and the music are enough reasons for me to keep watching.
