I totally missed that--and I saw it twice. I guess I need to be a more critical viewer. Either way, I thought it was an entertaining film--with a great soundtrack.

I just treat them as entertainment and not a serious evocation of cyberspace. I would love to see a film based on Neuromancer.Dr Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176521760477086914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331135384154117296.post-57633232086743693262011-08-05T17:25:16.448+01:002011-08-05T17:25:16.448+01:00Anthony,

It's much more comprehensive than my brief post. <br /><br />I also wondered about the bodies: were they left behind in a trance/coma or were they digitized and transported into the cyberworld.<br /><br />I actually thought that Tron captured the digital world much more convincingly than _Tron Legacy_ did because _TL_ environment seemed more like the organic/physical world than a digitized world, if that makes any sense.<br /><br />I frankly liked the first one better for it was a groundbreaker as you say. _TL_ really didn't really do anything new.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233846613173866140noreply@blogger.com
