Lol yeah I was just thinking about the list of movies I have that I want to show my kid, it's agony waiting until he's old enough for them or old enough to appreciate them.

Iron Giant, Tron, Jurrasic Park, Karate Kid, etc etc..

Watching the trailer again.. why hello there!

Yeah my kid is pretty sensitive to strong themes sometimes, he really didn't like how the dad treated the kid in Astro boy, or even Up didn't go well with him, but he's probably ok for Iron Giant at this point.

Harry Potter.. hm.. the first few are pretty light, it's not till later they get much darker.

I was just a cramp in my mother's stomach when this movie was originally released.

The only thing I associate with Tron is this guy:

I bet the music won't be as awesome as the original's though.



Soundtracks have lots so much creativity since the 80s.

I watched De Palma's Body Double the other day and was blown away by the music too.

If you really want to be blown away, you should see the 3D IMAX trailer in the theatre. It's being played before Alice in Wonderland.

I never really understood where the light bikes thing came from until I watched the original trailer in this thread.

We worked on this last summer, all shot in 3D. Some pretty cool scenes on bikes flying across the cambie street bridge.

Just did a bunch of upgrades to our systems to handle the VFX work load.

Looks to be a pretty cool movie from what I have seen so far.

This thread marks the first time that the words Tron and Great have ever been combined in a sentence.

For anyone who hasn't seen the original (and even those who have), I recommend reading Roger Ebert's fairly glowing review of it:

Quote:
It's brilliant at what it does, and in a technical way maybe it's breaking ground for a generation of movies in which computer-generated universes will be the background for mind-generated stories about emotion-generated personalities. All things are possible.

Saw the trailer for this movie when I saw Jackass 3D. This movie looks absolutely insane. Can't wait to see it.

New trailer, are they showing too much? Trailers that show too much usually mean the movie sucks.

Please don't suck.

i don't think it shows too much, it does outline the story better - which I like. This should be the last trailer. I'd rather see the rest in the theater.

I seriously can't wait.
