Thom Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 Whether or not CLU's plan would have worked depends a lot on 'hand-wavism.' A lot of sci-fi works best with a certain level of suspension of belief, esp since that in movies reality/physics generally bend to the will of the story. It's been a decade since I saw it last, but I think I recall that there was some fear that Quoora would not survive the transition to the real world, but then we see her on the back of Sam's bike, enjoying the sunrise just before the credits role. For me, that lends some credence that it was possible for the rest to happen also. It's the fiction part of sci-fi.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Logic goes completely out the window in the world of Tron. At best it is allegory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 TRON is far more techno-fantasy than it is science-fiction. Abandon all logic ye who enter here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raikkonen Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) And... I've checked out. While only a few details about the TRON: Ares story have emerged, the official synopsis states "TRON: Ares follows a highly sophisticated Program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings." 🤬 - TRON: Ares will have a major shift in setting, focusing on a Program sent to the real world on a mission, a departure from The Grid. - The new film will star Jared Leto and an ensemble cast, potentially exploring the interaction of AI with humans outside of The Grid. 🤬 They've totally missed the plot that the Grid is Tron, and Tron is the Grid.

Thom Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Yes, it's just set in the Tron universe. That was one of the drawbacks of Legacy, as there was far too little of Tron, though I rewatched it today and, except for the de-aging, it holds up well enough. Looking back, I think they should have spent their money on de-aging Boxleiter in order to show more of Tron rather than having two versions of Flynn, but that's water spilled ten years ago. Plus, the Tron movies should be about (Tron of course!) being on the Grid. AI's done in the real world have been done before, and really hold little interest for me. So, yeah, so far less reason to watch this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want the real world and the grid, they should do a story where the grid is out of control and threatening to consume the real world.

Wait, who wants to watch a Tron movie that's not set in The Grid? The Grid is what makes Tron interesting.

Hikuro Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I'm curious where he's gonna be taking this.....I assumed he was dead after his merging with CLU in Legacy wiping out his variant of the grid. I'm also wondering how he's been doing health wise having to battle cancer and covid at the exact same time and how he's recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me wonder, with his being a user and all, if he knew things that would allow him to survive where programs would not on the grid?
