Watched Tron for the first time the other day and at first I legit thought it was my lack of intelligence for being confused by what was going on, but apparently most people were. Despite the plot being hard to understand a bit at first, it still really sucked you in. You really wanted to know what was going on and what's going to happen next. I had those same feelings when I watched Donnie Darko for the first time (lowkey obsessed with that movie too a bit). I really liked it though. I feel like I missed out a bit as I was watching it while working on commissions so I want to sit down at some point soon and genuinely watch it.
Just a shame about my favorite character in the film… He was really nice but also cool and since it's an 80's movie he had to die. I was sad for the rest of the movie even though I knew he was going to be pushing up daisies at any minute. ;_; Tron and Flynn had to be the main stars.
Another thing, I just really liked how programs were personified into actual beings, I'm always a sucker for that sort of thing. I liked they used more, uh, "technological" phrases in speaking too: "I've been stuck here for 200 microcycles." "Who does he calculate he is?!" 100% charming, lol.
A damn shame the movie came out too early, they should've waited at least a decade or so and it would've been received a little better. :\ Guess I'll be watching Tron: Legacy soon as well.
Ah, one more thing… The song "End Of Line" by Daft Punk, is what actually made me check out the movie finally. I knew of the movie's existence since Kingdom Hearts but I was never interested in it until I heard that song for some reason, which is funny because it's from the second movie. It goes hard, been listening to it on repeat: [www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOMa56…](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOMa56y_Was)
