Thoughts while watching Tron (1982)
Damn that intro is cool
I love the music already
Honestly for 1982 this shit is amazing
Man this is cool
Oh my fucking god I love this. THIS is how you do the “in a video game” trope right!!
The visuals are so so neat
“Meanwhile in the real world” Oh yeah forgot about that. Was mesmerised by the shapes and colours.
IT’S SPINNING??? HOW DID THEY MAKE THIS?? LIVE ACTION SET WITH DIGITAL AFTER EFFECTS??? Bro this is still impressing me
“MASTER” That’s an awful password
Those cubicles are uncanny
Is the master controller a sentient system???
IT IS
This movie is so delightfully 80’s
Guy gets AI (but way cooler and actually sentient) to run the systems. Is surprised when it is evil and fucks stuff up.
IT’S ANALOG. MAGNETIC TAPE AND ALL
THOSE ZOOM MANDALA EFFECTS ARE CRAZY (can you tell that I loved the end of 2001?)
I wonder what all the math behind these effects looks like. Like how did people make this and teach others to make this? Did they use raw numbers? Some kind of drawing program?
I’m eating slices of havarti cheese while watching
They executed the video game concept so well in my opinion
I wonder how many hours it took to load these animations
I love this polygon creature. Yes yes yes yes yes
Interesting how the grid bugs are 2D animation
So he’s just gonna forget that he was just in a strange digital world and almost got killed several times?
WENDY CARLOS???? WENDY CARLOS MADE THE MUSIC FOR TRON??? HOLY SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT THAT UNTIL I SAW THE CREDITS. THE TUNES WERE BANGING THROUGHOUT.
Moebius made concept art for this?? OF COURSE HE DID. IT’S WRITTEN ALL OVER. I was literally thinking about this while watching but I did not know he actually worked on this one.I love the organ music over the credits. I’m a sucker for that
