Quick Update

I just got done with the Tenth Doctor series and the specials. All I have to say is I really enjoy the series and I can not wait to watch the fifth series. By the way I know it been awhile since I did another blog post about Tron Legacy and I decided not to finish my review because I wasted to much time writing the first part and I felt like I was babbling. So I will do a shorter review when the actual movie comes to Blu-ray. I got some ideas for my next blog but I don't which topic to start on. So keep checking my blog to find out what is next up. Everyone has a nice day.

TRON Legacy my impressions Part 1

It took me some time to see this movie but I have finally seen it and boy was the wait worth it. Due note this is the first time I experience a 3D movie (beside the red and blue glasses type). My friends know how much of a TRON fan I am, and they were teasing that I did not see it before them.

TRON has always been a great movie to me and to hear two years ago that a sequel was being made had me pumped. Because I always wonder want the TRON universe would look like now that technology has been so advance since the 1982 film. There was the game TRON 2.O but never got to play it...(yeah some TRON fan I am). Seeing the comic con teaser that came out I knew the new movie was going to change a lot and usually that is bad thing. But after seeing how the project developed over the years and seeing a trailer that finally reveal what we would see I was totally ready to go. Now the 3D arrived I just stop seeing movies (but I will get more into in another post) and this movie was definitely going to be my first.

Now to the film. Spoiler alert by the way (in some ways), just to clarify. I just going to point out key point that really stuck out.  I may get some things wrong because it usually takes me a second time to get every thing in clear view. One scene I was geeking over was the board meeting with the Encom employer and seeing that Dillinger (in the first TRON) had a son (played by Cillian Murphy) and I was like having a big WTF moment.Not in a bad way and it show the little hints to the first film. By the way he was pretty hot looking. It was great to see Bruce Boxleitner playing Alan/Tron again. I really like the guy who they got to play Sam Flynn and can not remember his name at the moment (Garret Hedlund). Seeing the arcade again and on the big screen made me happy and a little hint with the Journey song "World's Apart" made me excited. Of course you are wondering why? Well Journey made a song to the first film.

When Sam gets into the world (The Grid) and seeing the new recognizer was really showing how the first film was really payed close attention to but making new steps at the same time. As he gets put into the suit I was really excited to see the games once again. The Identity disc this time around are pretty awesome looking and the suits looked really awesome in the movie. Hearing the voice when the disc is revealed and talking about the rules like Sark explained in the first film was really awesome. Seeing the first game arena was like almost remembering the "Discs of  TRON" game and seeing Sam trying to play was exciting. Then you finally see Clu before the big reveal and I wanted his trench coat by the way!!! Seeing Rinzler (spoiler coming up), as soon as I saw the  four squares towards his neck. I had known it had something to do with Tron and then to find out the whole flashback scene, it was clearly him.

Now I really was excited to see Clu once again but in a new light as the main villain. I really was hoping to see a new MCP (Master Control Program) and to see Clu return in a new light was definitely a nice twist. In the first one he (Clu) was just a program created to get Kevin's stolen files back and delete by the MCP. Then knowing he was brought to "The Grid" as program to help oversee the new world and the become more than Kevin wanted him to be. The technology for making Jeff Bridges look younger was really damn impressive. Seeing the light cycles was truly awesome. The new cycles were pretty awesome and seeing Kevin have one just like one from the first film was pretty awesome. Quorra was really awesome character. Then seeing Jeff as Kevin again was really awesome. Seeing that the way he talk in the first film was truly a treat too.

                                                           Then.....
                                                          Now

Seeing a cameo done by Daft Punk was really awesome and speaking of them the soundtrack they did was really caught the mood of the film. Castor was really a character to see, of course he was somewhat flamboyant in a sense. I really like his character and the fun Micheal Sheen must of had with him. The fight in the club scene and the fight in it was pretty cool. So ends part one, I will be sure to post the next part sometime next week.

Doctor Who, my new obsession

I been a fan for some time just caught it on the syfy channel  (the new name now...)when they use to show it, but it was not until Netflix I became I fan of it. I can not believe it has taken me this long to finally watch the series. I have not watched any of the classic series yet, I watching the ones with Chris Eccleston through David Tennant doctors and hoping to get to Matt Smith series next. But so far I am on the third season and I have to say I love the show. I am a huge Star Trek fan, Doctor Who is something to take a break from Trek. I hope people here in America star watching it more, this show is really awesome. My favorite episodes so far are the "Dalek", "The Empty Child", "School Reunion", "Rise of the Cybermen" and my very favorite is "Love and Monsters". Only the ones I can think of right now. But I really don't have a episode I yet to dislike. But I will post a more appropriate view on this show when I finish watching the episodes to catch up to the new season coming this year. So if you have a chance I recommend this show.

Sorry

It has been awhile since I made a new blog entry and for that I apologize. One of my resolution for the new year ahead is to keep updating my blog. I been trying to come up with different things to talk about, but I keep getting unfocused about it. I really want some feedback but I must keep trying to put my voice out there to ever find some.

If people are reading this then I am doing something right for once. So stick around and some new things will come.
