Let's get over the pretty visuals and really discuss this
While this film has been highlighted her before, it should be mentioned again that this is a literal and metaphorical continuation of many of the childhood memories that people my age recall from the early 80s.
And yes, the special effects and the trailers prior to this have trigger an emotive response that the producers of the film have desired, I am forcing myself to pause before I claim that this movie is going to be the creme of the 2010 crop.
If this turns out to be nothing more than the 21st century action rehash that I fear it will be - and I think that many of my fears are grounded in reality at this point - I'm going to be seriously pissed. Don't give me a love story and some poorly conceived narrative about family and morals, give me fucking TRON!!!!!
A Blog Version Of The Inside Of My Head. The place where politics, film, the media, music, pop culture, and random topics collide in an orgy of neo-philisophical randomness that would make your mother scream.

You know, somehow I have completely avoided this whole thing up until now. I am glad Bridges is in it, as he is one of my favorite actors. It does look a little too Matrix-y for my tastes, but everyone is doing the stupid slo-mo pan-around thing these days.
As for the original... Well, I remember liking it a lot, but I guess ultimately it was just Rotoscpoe. I don't think its impact was so great that I'll feel raped like so many will cry, as they have in the past over remakes. I'll give it a watch, but not necessarily in theater.
