TRON 2010 Vs. TRON 1982: Guess Who Wins?
August 2nd, 2009
The guys over at Chunnel.TV scrounged up the preview trailer for the original 1982 classic CGI flick, TRON and compared it with the upcoming 2010 reboot, TRON Legacy. There are no surprises here, but the computer graphics in the new film are just a wee bit better.
Here’s the trailer for 2010′s TRON Legacy (best watched in HD):
And here’s the trailer from the 1982 original:
Boy, we sure have come a long way. About the only thing these two appear to have in common are light bikes and Jeff Bridges. As the guys at Chunnel point out, being nostalgic is great, but most of us wouldn’t trade in our PS3′s and Xbox 360′s for Atari 2600′s, would we?

I guess it depends on how you compare it. At the time the original Tron came out, these types of visual FX and animation were light years ahead of the pack. Pioneering what we see today at the movies. It looks completely original and still holds up well for a 20 year old sci-fi flick. The new one looks as expected, twisting it’s style from the “Matrix.” Unless the story is totally mind blowing (which I doubt), I’m sure it will fall into the category of the Matrix and Star Wars sequels/prequels 20 years down the line. I think the dropped the ball on this one. My conclusion is they could have topped the old one, and decided not too.
Nevertheless I will be excited to see it.
i always wondered if there would be a movie based on the game ‘tron 2.0′ which i have a copy for the pc and xbox.
a 3rd story’s nice though
The First part, this film TRON enchanted to me: Legacy is not remake, but it is one second part, I hope with desire TRON 2
