Tron Legacy: WTF?

Recognize this?

Last month, all geeks were incredibly happy. Why? Tron lah! TRON LEGACY! The epic sequel to the awesome 1982 movie that is Tron.

Yes, yes, trivialities out of the way, the movie is about this dude, Sam Flynn.

Apparently, he's daddy's little boy, all grown up. Btw, did I mention that his daddy is Kevin Flynn? A godlike Figure in the Grid? Protagonist of Tron?

Guess which dude he is? No, not the dude on the left, that's Jesus by the way, a totally more awesome dude. But yes, Kevin Flynn plays the role of Christ just as well.

Most people already seen the movie, so SPOILER ALERT!

OK, Sam enters The Grid, namely this place.

For Kingdom Hearts Players, hey, I knew you were there! Well, The Grid "vaguely" resembles the KH world of "The World That Never Was". Recognize the Tower? It's the Memory Skyscraper, copied bit by bit...... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANYWAYS, Back to Tron Legacy.

The ONLY best thing about the movie is this. Quorra.

Yes, Quorra.

Ok, stop. Quorra is a Kick-ass Program from The Grid. Played by Olivia Wilde.

Ok, fanboys, stop drooling.

Well, in the end of the movie, Sam brings Quorra to our world. Wow, a romance story, love, all that Jazz. But let us consider the facts of Quorra.

1. She's a program, who has never seen the Real World before.
2. She has no ID, no passport, no money. Ok, so she's in love with a multibillionaire, but HEY! NO ID?!
3. She doesn't know how to use a bloody computer.
4. Did I mention she's an ISO?

Another Bloody amazing fact is The Grid. According to the movie, The Grid was made in 1989. Full stop. 1989. And then research discontinued because Kevin "Jesus" Flynn was sucked into the world. OK.....a quick wikipedia search.

Ah, the Mac SE/30. Most advanced model, for $6500. Wow. Let's look at its specs.

Okay. Alotta technical stuff. But look at the RAM. 1MB MIN, 32MB MAX.

So, the computers available at the time had only 1/2000 of my current LAPTOP's Ram. Wow. And he could still create The Grid. Amazing.

What's more, The Grid can be saved into a memory card. Wow. That must make it less than 16GB. Than again, did we forget that the Mac SE/30 had only80MB of internal mem at maximum?

WOWEE! I admit, he could've used a supercomputer. But then....how did he afford it? See? I just poked a hole in the logic.

Anyways, A great film, deserves all the credit for Tron! YAY! One last pic for all you peoples

There. I'm DONE! GO TRON!
