Tron Legacy Trailer Is Quite Stunning

Pondering on things now, topics like video games, virtual reality, and 3D worlds are pretty commonplace. Think back to 1982 though when these concepts were still very new, and for some seemed like they were so far away. It’s so amazing to look back to older movies, and other forms of media to see how they viewed the future. Metropolis is a movie I highly recommend for trying this out. It’s a film that was made in 1927, it’s silent, but not much has to be said to convey the message. If you watch the movie you’ll see the birth of concepts such as cyborgs, flying cars, telecommunications, and flat screen televisions decades before any other movie would even conceive of using them.

Tron in a way is like Metropolis. There are so many elements used in Tron that seemed so ahead of their time. Again, there were technologies seen in the movie that no one had even dreamed of using yet. The internet, 3D gaming as I mentioned before. Along with the technologies there were messages concerning A.I., and the power that computers could obtain.

Fast forward to 2009, and now we have an official trailer for the Tron sequel — Tron Legacy. It really is quite amazing looking, and judging from the effects alone will be a movie to keep an eye on.
