motionpictureentertainment VISUALS, VISUALS, VISUALS are astonishing in this series. Each episode plot keeps you hooked and the dialogue isn't too deep or shallow. Excellent successor for the Tron series, especially having watched the original as a child. Tron holds dear to my heart and this animated series captures the best of the Tron universe. So much thought and writing went into this series to bring an authentic experience that leaves you with an immersion into the Tron universe. The characters are believable and relate-able even in a digital construct. The animation is so well put together that it could carry the standard of movie quality cinema. I am still amazed, being a skeptic I though Disney would botch this one and it would be disappointing. Good job Disney!
WatchedAllMovies Trying to use the same premise in the original Tron just doesn't work. When the first Tron movie was released, the general population were not as familiar with computers as they are today, so I watched the movie pretending to believe the "master program", etc.Now, we all know "programs" do not look like people; they don't think; they don't fight, they don't have emotions. Programs do whatever the programmers made them do; no more and no less.I tried to watch the movie. But after ten minutes, I just couldn't make believe programs are people anymore. If the movie find another way to call these people other than "programs" it may be more acceptable.If you are not familiar with computers, this movie may work better for you. For me, every time they call each other a "program", I cringe.Needless to say, I didn't finish watching this movie.
David Baran I just finished watching the first season of Tron Uprising on Netflix.I did not know what to expect but now that I have watched the entire season over 2 days I must say I am completely blown away. This is the first review I have ever written for any film site, and I felt compelled to say a few words given the high quality of this product. Tron Uprising is probably one of the best animated adult themed shows ever created. It takes the best from anime, and feature films and adult TV shows and removes all the silliness, cheese, stupidity, shortcuts, and crap that cheap animation aimed at children is riddled with. It transcends the genre by actually being on the level of a feature film or big budget TV series. Everything is presented with respect to the source material and the viewer which is so rare these days. What the creative team at Disney has accomplished with this project is short of a miracle. They should pat themselves on the back for a job well done and be really proud of this achievement for creating one of the highest quality animated shows in existence. Tron Uprising was a tour de-force (and no I am not a movie shill paid to say this)for me with every episode. It oozes quality out of every pore. The animation is top notch and something only seen in feature animated films in the past. Its actually better then most feature films and TV shows that I have seen in the last few years as far as story, character development, action, and special effects are concerned. It has a very distinctive look that really fits the narrative. The attention to detail is astounding. The show never fails to deliver. It just keeps on giving one awesome scene after another, one twist after another one crazy set piece after another. This is one of few shows I have seen that just keeps on getting better and better with every episode. The voice acting is top notch especially Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore who plays Paige, and Bruce B. Even supporting cast - characters such as Cyrus are exceptionally voiced. The soundtrack takes the best ideas from Daft Punk's album and expands on them giving us a truly epic and intricate film score. Sound design is excellent and adds to the atmosphere. I cannot say enough about how much of a love letter this show is to the Tron universe and how much of a blueprint this has laid for what could be the beginning of a great universe for Disney if they choose to expand on it. Every piece of tech from the light cycles, to even how transport trains or characters move and behave has been considered. The villains are believable and intricate, the writing is fresh and dark with a major focus on being an adult experience which is very refreshing and the main reason you get sucked into watching the series. This show does not insult you like the recent Star Trek Into Darkness did. It does not make you feel dumber and it does not settle for the lowest common denominator. It respects the audience and presents a world that is believable and mature. None of the characters act stupid or cliché. Silliness and kiddie crap are none existent. Humor is minimal and the show has a very dark and sci-fi tone to it which as I said before is very welcome. This is the direction where I wanted animated TV shows to go for years now. I hope Disney realizes that there is a huge audience that enjoys mature animated shows and a darker more complex story and tone that does not insult them. You can tell that no shortcuts of any kind have been taken. From slow motion scenes and really complex angles, to wide panning shots and special effects nothing has been rushed, no frames cut and enough time is given to each set piece to animate. You won't find any rushed scenes as in Saturday morning cartoons or cheap tricks. This has big budget, feature quality written all over it. It really shows how much the creators cared to capture not just the look but the feel of the Tron universe. While watching this I kept thinking how awesome this would have been in the theaters or how cool this universe might be as an MMORPG game or if everything from this show was expanded into other areas. The show is great and it deserves your viewing if you enjoy a mature story that does not insult your intelligence, and if you want to see one of the highest quality animated TV shows in history. Its a total package and this has now become one of my all time favorite shows on Netflix and in general. To add some context..I am in my 30s and have seen a ton of films and movies over my lifetime, Not a geek or hard core fan or collector. Just enjoy good films. This show deserves a second season and in time it will become a classic for its mature story and respect for the Tron Universe. If you are paying attention Disney...keep this show going and market the hell out of it for adults and teens not for just kids! Pay attention how much its liked on Netflix. Partner with Lego as you did for Lone Ranger/Starwars and make some bricks. This has the potential to be huge! Don't throw away the foundation that has been laid by this amazing show. favorite episode: The stranger #13
sadako11 Pros: Direction Animation Music Sound Voice acting Vehicles, machines, characters and location designs.Cons: -Pretty darn dull computer civilization. The people from this world seems to just go to work and then to a club and then to work again and engage in mundane conversations. These people appears to have no hopes or dreams or gods or questions about their origins. Most of them seem to don't care about the bad guys occupying their cities and you see them even enjoying their games. -Pretty darn dull main character "The Renegade" -Pretty darn dull and unimaginative script. -Pretty darn dull, unimaginative and repetitive Kung-fu fighting. Apparently the only special ability the main character has is punching and kicking. I wish him and Tron could have a little of the "user power" shown by Clue in the original film to modify their surroundings for their advantage. Clue reassemble a recognizer in seconds in the original film.I have watched the first 14 episodes so far and I will keep watching because I have high hopes that the series will get better. The directing, looks and the music are enough reasons for me to keep watching.
