What? WHAT?
Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman, two of my favorite female actresses (mostly Mila, really), doing naughty lesbian stuff?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

In any case I went and saw Tron 3D.
I think the 3D movies are becoming too gimmicky. Too many movies are coming out as 3D, and many of them should have never seen the light of day. Step up 3D was a prime example of why a large group of people in Hollywood should be tortured in a concentration camp. Next thing you know we'll have 3D romance comedies.
That said, the last 3D movie I saw was Avatard, and I figured that this is Tron and deserves to be seen in 3D. Frankly, after seeing it, I think I may have enjoyed it better in 2D. In fact, all the real world scenes were 2D, only the virtual scenes were 3D. And there were some bits where someone shot something at the camera so it popped out at us.
Also the trailers were in 3D. Like POTC 4.
The movie itself was a bit bland. The special effects and visuals were pretty and shiny and interesting. The plot kinda sucked. It was one of those "We have to get to X through enemy territory" kind of things. There was a portal to the real world. There were plenty of enemies between them and the portal. They had to get there to escape and save the world. They never did explain why the portal to the real world was so far. I assume it was so the programs couldn't get to it, but then why was there a TRAIN going to it??? How could the bad guy get to it so easily?!
And then there was the subplot of the villain being a tyrant, and committing genocide of poor innocent programs, and planning on taking over the real world. Explain to me how a program would escape a virtual world and enter the real world? And explain to me how he would rule the world with his tiny ass army?
There was no tension, there was no sense of dread or danger, and the main character was an obnoxious, cocky, typical 20ish character with no flaws and the ability to learn everything in 5 seconds. God damn, Hollywood needs to stop making characters like that.
So yes, the plot and characters failed. Except for that pale ass guy who ran the nightclub at the top of the city. He was cool. Also, Daft Punk was the DJs in that scene, which was awesome.
