Looks so cheesy. I don't know if I could put up with it.

Sarcasm or you really don't think it looks like a big pile of cheese?

I don't think I'd have posted this thread if I thought it looked cheesy.

Looks friggin awesome to me. Can't wait.

And yeah Zeek - you are the rare one with that view. the trailer is getting a massively positive response around the web and in theaters since it debuted last week.

I dunno, didn't exactly blow me away. There wasn't much more than what they showed in the initial teaser.

I'm sure Disney is going to hype the fact that Jeff Bridges is in it, which they obviously did in this trailer, to ride on the coattail of Bridges Oscar win.

In terms of the visuals, I realize that it's supposed to have the TRON look, but it seems dated to me simply because The Matrix changed the whole concept of what a virtual world could be like.

Computing power has increased thousands of fold since the original TRON, so why should it still look like everything is using vector graphics?

Remember this motorcycle scene from the Matrix?

Uh..... dude.... virtually nothing in the trailer was in the initial teaser - because the teaser was a proof of concept test reel done before the movie had even been cast (aside from Bridges). I can't peg a single shot in this trailer that was in the teaser.

Unless you wanted it to go into detail on the plot, I can't even make sense of that statement.

And this trailer was cut before Bridges' Oscar win. He's featured because the story is centered around two characters he plays.

Oops..okay..sorry, my bad. I looked at the wrong trailer from a different news site as opposed to the links you posted.

However, my comments about the visual still stands. And, really, it's more of a personal taste. Maybe it's because I'm a gamer and is used to seeing what my XB0x 360 is capable of.

The original TRON was great because it replicated what video games were capable of at the time and hence what the virtual world might be like.

Nowadays, where we have games that pushes the envelope, I just don't see why they're sticking with the subdued monochromatic palette.

TRON looks like a Kindle when it should look like an iPad.

I understand that it's supposed to be more than just about the visuals, but Disney could have gone with a more cyberpunk look.

Here are some examples of actual in game graphics from upcoming games.

Grand Tourismo 5

God of War III
