Oops..okay..sorry, my bad. I looked at the wrong trailer from a different news site as opposed to the links you posted.

However, my comments about the visual still stands. And, really, it's more of a personal taste. Maybe it's because I'm a gamer and is used to seeing what my XB0x 360 is capable of.

The original TRON was great because it replicated what video games were capable of at the time and hence what the virtual world might be like.

Nowadays, where we have games that pushes the envelope, I just don't see why they're sticking with the subdued monochromatic palette.

TRON looks like a Kindle when it should look like an iPad.

I understand that it's supposed to be more than just about the visuals, but Disney could have gone with a more cyberpunk look.

Here are some examples of actual in game graphics from upcoming games.

Grand Tourismo 5

God of War III

Have you played Heavy Rain yet? Groundbreaking stuff, and the visuals in it are insane.

I personally prefer the stylized look. Games today are so advanced graphically that they approach a real life look - and that represented in a film would essentially just make it look like every single other CG heavy blockbuster.

i like that it has it's own world to it, that sets it out as distinct. If it reflected how games look now, it'd look generic. Sure, you could have a Gran Turismo-esque scene.... that would play like one of the CG car chases in Fast & Furious. And a God of War scene that looks like a deleted scene from Clash of the Titans. Meh.

But keeping the stylized look - there's nothing else out there that it resembles, and I see that as a very good thing.

Oh, I have nothing against realistic graphics in games, nor photo-realistic painting (which is what I studied for years, actually). But for the purposes of a movie such as Tron, looking like everything else would be boring.

No one sees the dude dressed like captain Eo playing an air guitar? That looks like a normal scene to you?

Even the guys in orange nerd jerseys coming up an elevator standing in formation is cheestastic IMO.

I'm not saying a cheesy movie can't be funny, but it looks like this is going for a somewhat serious angle. If this were in the universe of hitchhikers guide to the galaxy then I'd be more forgiving.
