IMDB gave an 8 point evaluation. It is undoubtedly a great praise for a sequel movie with only 6.4 points for the original. For me, I am now amazed by the gorgeous image special effects of "Creation: War". , The audience in 1982 should have the same amazement at the computer stunts of the "Electronic World War". If you look at the original version of the year with the current technical standards, I still think that the version of the year also has its excellence.
The new version of the movie shows a paragraph at the beginning, not for the introduction of the plot or special thanks. It’s a special reminder to inform everyone that 2D images will appear in the movie, but in order to pursue a good viewing effect, please always wear your 3D glasses. Seeing this passage, my friend and I both laughed. We don’t know the specific reason. We just think that if a movie comes out and gave the audience such a passage, it seems to be saying to the audience in advance, we didn’t shoot some of you in 3D. You can watch it with glasses, but I think it's more for the audience's viewing experience. Okay, let's take a good look at this blockbuster with a strong sense of the game.
When the film came up, the Disney Animation logo was gorgeous and extraordinary. The green light from different planes cast down to give me the feeling of being in a nightclub, but the bright and dazzling light strips suddenly highlighted the psychedelic blurred background, giving people a kind of foreignness. The world's advanced technology and the feeling of hard metal.
Motorcycles have always been the main means of transportation and props throughout the film. The gorgeous dark metallic black matches the glowing lines around the engine tires. When in the virtual world, the protagonist Sam pulls a blue-lighting motorcycle frame from a short stick to a drag racing scene in a speeding, I think this is really cool. At the same time, the motorcycle also played a role in the story. From the beginning of the film, the old Flynn finished the story and left to start the roar of the motorcycle to the little Flynn gorgeously volleyed through the overpass to avoid the police chase. From the fierce life-and-death race of motorcycles in the virtual world, to the end of Sam carrying Quorra away, the motorcycle element runs through the entire film as a physical branch.
At the beginning of the film, a short segment of high-tech equipment similar to a spy war movie definitely caught the audience’s attention. From the shot of the protagonist Sam uploading the program in the server room, we can see that the director Kosinski tried different movie styles. mix together. Although the reading progress bar and the shot of the protagonist jumping off the Encom building did not create a sense of tension, but in the end it attracted the attention of the audience very well. I think the best thing is that the scene is all Place the turned off TV according to the position code, and then the camera lens is zoomed in to the most central TV screen. The news screen appears to repeat the news of the disappearance of the old Kevin Flynn, and then the camera starts to zoom out again and finds that all the TVs in the room come from TV stations in different countries. They are all playing the same news. Although they do not fit the main line of the story in terms of time and space, the strong visual impact makes you ignore the linear storytelling.
Next is the climax of the film. Our Sam entered the shocking virtual world called Grid cleanly and crisply, and then in the next film I really feel that it has been in the climax stage, and new stories continue to appear. The information and all kinds of amazing scenes made me feel a little over-climaxed and my brain was a little tired.
The scene settings in the film are definitely well-designed. The two most impressive scenes are the pure white bar scene on the top of the high-rise building and the other is the pure white room outside the virtual city by old Kevin Flynn. The architectural style interior design adheres to simplicity. The purpose of fashion. The pure white bright color represents the side of justice. The simple arrangement of objects and the white design can also make the protagonists' black clothes stand out in the huge space. There are also bright white bar tables on the bright white counter table in the transparent glass. The wines of various colors and the matching of white and silver accessories in the old Kevin's room give people a visual sense of brightness.
At the same time, the director also carefully arranged the black scenes to balance the tone of the whole film. For example, in the desperate racing circuit, the pure black scene setting not only makes the bright light lines on the characters' clothes clearer, but also for the track and motorcycles. The detail setting also allows the audience to see it very clearly. The two images that impressed me were Sam and Quorra when Tron tried to chase the car to escape, but because they reached the boundary of the Down town, they came to a sudden brake. At that time, the engine on the motorcycle was running and the tires were slowly rising. The heat is clear at a glance. I really envy the image created by Disney's $160 million production fee, and even the details can be displayed so clearly. There is also a screen filter that often appears in movies. Whether it is when Sam is performing space conversion or when a program in the virtual world is killed, the kind of small squares are broken up and the sound of glass is broken. It gave me an inexplicable pleasure and reminded me of the short film "Pixel Invasion" that I watched in April today. The same black scene also has the entire down town setting and the transport ship with the same gate, which simply distinguishes the positive and negative forces with colors.
The most surprising thing about the whole film is the soundtrack of the film. Daft Punk from France definitely put their love and understanding of watching the 1982 version of "Electronic World Contest" in that era into the creation of this music, especially They are the masked DJs in the top bar. Regarding the tension that Sam was caught when he first came to the virtual world and the magnificence that he could feel when looking at the whole world, they all used music to express the director's intentions well. In the same way, they also used music to sublimate the performance of the actors, such as taking a "big umbrella" to walk home on the white light. The little ambiguity between Sam and Quorra, in the end, the old Kevin wanted to leave his son’s tragic and majestic and the same villain Kevin was eager to enter. In the struggle in the real society, we can also understand their feelings through their music to a certain extent, excluding image factors. Like the original soundtrack of "Social Network" created by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, I personally feel that Daft Punk is definitely expected to hit the Oscars.
Regarding the technical aspects of the film, I personally think it is perfect at present. Whether it is scene setting, image post-processing, lighting setting and camera movement, I think it fits the film’s story and narrative rhythm very well. Maybe the only minor flaw is that Jeff Bridges’ facial settings when he was young made me unrecognizable. I always thought it was another actor playing the image of Kevin Flynn when he was young. Later, my friend told me that whether it was the villain Clu. When he was still young, Kevin was played by Jeff Bridges. It was just a completely virtual character using computer expression capture technology and post-production special effects synthesis. In fact, after I got this information, I felt that Disney’s 160 million dollars was worth the money. And now the computer technology that changes with each passing day is too powerful.
The storyline of the movie is already very good for me. After all, the director told a story perfectly, although I think some lines are designed too simple, for example, Kevin’s personal bodyguard program Tron said I work for users. I think the program's speaking ability still hasn't surpassed human beings. But I think the story told in the whole film can make us think about it. If you look at this from the standpoint of the villains, even though humans are our creator and created us, we have no freedom at all. , Can be destroyed or modified arbitrarily, and then one program is bound to life or death by another program. Suddenly one day you can resist or say that you have the opportunity to control your own freedom. If I were under such conditions, I think I would be desperate to truly control my life through that light. Therefore, the whole story does not have absolute pros and cons. It is a simple story with contradictions and climaxes.
Overall, Tron: Legacy is a science fiction sequel with a complete storyline and excellent post-production shooting techniques. I am an audience member and I think I will definitely watch it. If I sum it up in one sentence, Gem played by Beau Garrett is really hot in tight clothes!
PS
still has a plot problem. Do those races that are independent of the program have any background introduction, and then why do the villains want to kill them? How did they enter this virtual world?
