loony_moonySo tonight I went with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ignited and fourfreedoms to see "Tron: Legacy".
There are many, many things I loved about this movie, despite the fact it was lacking any semblance of a plot, and whatever was there was entirely out of "action movies 101", with occasional moments of bad acting.
Now let me tell you those things:
1. IT WAS SO PRETTY. SO SO SO PRETTY. The whole look of the movie was incredibly Nolanesque in the real world, and incredibly, inventively video game (in the best sense of the word) in the grid. The grid itself was gorgeous. The use of light and contract was phenomenal, from the city down to Jeff Bridges' robe. Extra moment of awesome: Filming the real world so it would really resemble the grid. I appreciate this kind of anviliciousness very much. :D
2. OH, GARRETT HEDLUND. You are 95% of the time one tremendously beautiful man (and the other 5% of the time you look a bit like a monkey with a unibrow). Also? A really decent actor! I had such low expectations of you, and you so totally surprised me! I liked. Please to continue frequenting mainstream movies I wanna see, ktx. True, you had the moment of Key Catching Of Padalecki Doom, but you so very much compensated for that moment when you spent half your time on the grid in the throws of intensely pretty manpain.
3. Jeff Bridges, you are awesome. You are awesome when you play Kevin Flynn as The Dude. You are awesome when you Benjamin Button yourself and have your Moment of The Great Dictator. You are even awesome when you face your Benjamin Button self in The Scene Of Dramatic Climax Of The Movie, and it's so ridiculous I actually played the finger puppet version of it while watching. You are especially awesome when you look like the fluorescent version of Yoda and Obi Wan's lovechild. You are awesome and I love you.
4. MICHAEL SHEEN! You are so very delightful! You clearly enjoyed every single line you were given, not to mention your complete David Bowie look which actually kinda made you look like Jared Leto for some reason. But you were completely hilarious and campy, and I LOVED. YOU. Now please make a Bowie bio-pic.
5. Olivia Wilde, you are tons of fun. I'm one of those people who liked Thirteen, and so I had no problem liking you in here as well. I think your casting as Quorra was spot-on, because you can pull off the half-robotic woman-child, and your crazy awesome looks fit the bill perfectly.
6. CILLIAN MURPHY AND HIS HIPSTER LOOK. 'NOUGH SAID, OH MY GOD. :DDDDD
7. DAFT PUNK, OH YES. SO MUCH YES. You were everything I expected and MORE, you fabulous pair of Frenchmen. PLEASE DO THE NEXT "TRON" TOO.
All in all, way less smart than Star Trek: Reboot, but FUN. SO MUCH FUN.
So who's coming to see this with me again?
