Are you serious with this shit? Like I honestly can't even kind of understand how you formed this opinion.


because i watched the movie and the pacing was really slow

dude your name is tron, did you know that?

this was all 2d in my theater. i had my glasses off until they went into grid

maybe it's an IMAX thing? i took off my glasses when he was cracking open the door, but it was double vision. even the scene with alan was 3D. i'm gonna have to google this and figure it out.

Yeah I'm guessing that he had a much bigger role that mostly got cut.

I just assumed it was laying the groundwork for the sequel(s).

It was awfully nice of ENCOM to give a job to the son of a disgraced, thieving executive.

so that was cillian murphy. i remember thinking, "that dude looks and sounds just like cillian murphy," but never got a second chance to confirm it was him.

I saw it in IMAX and while the entire movie had the polarized double-image, the sequences in the real world were definitely not in 3D.

I thought they made "The Grid" look too much like a physical space. It kind of took away from the abstract sense of place in the original.

yeah, i'm a little weirded out that so many people cant distinguish between 3d and 2d. got to watch it on the largest screen in the US at its grand opening.

had a friend who swore up and down it was all 3d and still believes so, despite the goddamn disclaimer at the start of the movie that declares otherwise.

I agree with whoever is saying that the movie sucks because it is boring, not because it is bad.
And I feel like this year is really about, just the year of realizing stuff.

I thought the most impressive 3-D sequence in Avatar was at the very beginning when the soldiers were all lined up in the ship getting ready to do space-stuff. Like, the human stuff was really impressive, not so much the flying blue cat people and their dinosaur friends.

it's almost creepy that she's the romantic interest given how mentally childlike she is


For real. The movie is pretty weird about women in general. Although I think it's probably historically accurate that in a world built by a computer programmer in the '80s four of the five women who exist would be forced to wear iridescent strips on their inner thighs and block heels.

The romance was a little unsettling for me. Wouldn't the son be thinking the whole time, "Hey, did she sleep with my dad?"

And maybe I didn't follow the story correctly but did the dude escape the game with a woman who was an immaculately conceived piece of data?

There’s no path to a satisfying conclusion at this point.
