Amph END OF LINE: TRON, Uprising, Legacy & Ares

Tron Uprising fan film recreating Beck's Beginning:

 

In the US, Legacy left D+ a couple months ago due to previously existing licensing deals.

Not sure what service it went to but after that term is up (however long it is), the film will return to D+.

All of the streaming services have issues like this with some titles since these deals were all struck years before things like D+, P+ and HBOM were a thing.

It would be nice, though, if they kept placeholder listings on the service telling you when they’d return (like when D+ launched and had placeholders for Last Jedi & Solo, telling you when they’d be leaving Netflix and be on D+).

 

Nice concept art for the ride opening (presumably) next year:

 

I wouldn't say it was cropped haphazardly- the D+ version was almost certainly the version released in non-IMAX theaters and on (I believe) the DVD. IMAX specialty shots tend to get digitally recomposited for maximum effect without forcing too much picture image to get cropped.

I was actually about to begin a comparison between the IMAX shots and their standard versions on D+ right before they took it off of D+ as one component of my next video project.

Exactly one week before its 11th anniversary.

 

The DVD was the only version I hadn't checked in the past year, so I was iffy on that detail. Still, a version of the film without IMAX scenes was made for the vast majority of theater screens to show, so it existing shouldn't be a surprise and, one assumes, would have had care taken to adjust the framing under the director's supervision.

I do hope they restore the IMAX aspect ratio to the D+ release (ideally with the option to watch either version). Tron: The Next Day would also make for a great bonus feature to add on there too.

 

I think you're correct there. They serve as patrol craft in the original film and in Legacy. The first film they're overlooking the Grid in general, searching for the rogue Programs/User. In Legacy, they're scouring for stray Programs to collect for repurposing aboard the Rectifier.

 

I watched a Let's Play of It. Seems like an interesting, if not fully fleshed out, game. Parkour traversal through fairly linear levels mixed with a dash of Arkham brawling and upgrades.

The cut scenes make it essential viewing, though, since it tells the story of the events surrounding CLU's coup. You play as Anon (the "sympathetic program" that Quora mentions in Legacy whom helped get her out of the city). Voice cast is pretty solid, with Olivia and Bruce reprising their roles, John Glover (in a different role than Dyson on Uprising) and Fred Tatasciore as Kevin/CLU (same voice actor that performed them on Uprising).

So, the PS3/360 versions essentially act as a bridge between the Betrayal comic and the film. The DS & PSP versions are prequels.

 

For anyone who missed out on it last time, Mondo has their vinyl version of the Legacy score back in stock.

 

The Mondo one has the awesome slipcase/foldout cover art and the colored discs. Not too shabby for $10 more.

 

Weird. I tried reemebedding it. How is it now?
