Where else can you see Jeff bridges fighting Jeff bridges on a bridge?

carried by gorgeous visuals

She sure did.

I haven't seen that one either, but I'll assume it's worse purely on the basis of not having Daft Punk.

Is that the current state of film sequels? The sequel from ten to twenty years ago that we all thought was bad is not nearly as bad as the latest sequel, what has happened to films?!

Tron: Ares was not that bad either. The visuals were a clear upgrade from Tron: Legacy and a handful of clips I've seen from the original Tron movie. You can notice that that they put a lot of details in places like Ares' HUD, consoles, the proprietary 3D printer and the virtual red-coloured world whose name I can't remember right now.

The soundtrack does complement the movie, although I noticed that they repeated certain "melodies" across the movie more than I would've liked. It's obviously not at par with Daft Punk but it resembles the spirit of the Tron franchise.

The plot is a real rollercoaster in terms of quality and believability. The backstory and plot of the main protagonists feel solid and so is the interaction between each other. Somehow Jared Leto decently fits the role of Ares and his dialogues don't feel out of place or cringey. On the other hand, the story gives too much power to the antagonist to the point that it clearly feels unfair. Also some action scenes feel like they're happening just because they have to, and probably give material for the trailers to give the viewers something to look forward to while watching the movie.

If you have no qualms with the involvement of Jared Leto, I would recommend that you give this movie a try. It's certainly not a masterpiece, but it's surprisingly well made for a movie that that considered a flop by the users at Lemmy.

The Phatom Menace hits sooo much differently if you've read the books to fill in a lot of gaps that the movie itself doesn't take time to explain. I would say AotC and RotS don't suffer from this as much, but The Phantom Menace does stand out in this regard.

Well the soundtrack is awesome. I love the movie very much as well though.

Another good 90s movie soundtrack is the one for Judgment Night. Same concept as the Spawn soundtrack, but with callaborations between hiphop and metal. I have not seen the movie though.

Note that this is not some sort of official soundtrack; rather, it's apparently just a playlist of songs that appeared in the movie, uploaded by different users, which might mean that volume and encodings or maybe that versions are not consistent with those in the movie. I don't see an official soundtrack on YouTube Music; one might never have been released.

That's more screen time than what they got in Interstella 5555, an actual album music movie

No. I enjoyed it immensely. That’s just how good the soundtrack is; to be even better than that.

It's not a terrible movie. I think the main complaint about it is the use of the manic pixie girl trope.

King of the Impossible!

Yes, precisely. If you asked me in the 90s what I would think about present day Trent Resnor I would have probably called him a sellout but now I'm honestly just loving all the sweet jams he and Atticus Ross are putting out both as NIN and in their various movie soundtracks and scores.

It's one of my favorite movies, but one thing I've noticed about it is that you can really gauge people's interests by what they remember from the movie. I notice that a lot of people on the internet remember it for the video game references or the comic book editing and action, but to me it's always been a music movie.

I'll concede that labeling it as "not bad" was too harsh/critical.

When the movie was released, the movie, the plot, the soundtrack, the special effects - were fantastic.

You're absolutely right, it did a fantastic job of capturing "nerd culture" for that time.

It's not that I feel the movie aged badly, but it's not as "unique" or relevant as it was in 2010. Other films have picked apart pieces of what made SPvW such a unique experience (for example: Free Guy).

Additionally, the current "nerd culture" has changed. You'll be hard pressed to find younger gamers play pixel graphic games (although, they are missing out).

Certainly, not all topics are outdated (ie: LGBTQ), but enough of is.

The film is a perfect nerdy time capsule for 2010, but the soundtrack with that dirty grunge sound will be around for a lot longer.

We are sex bob-omb. 1...2...3...4....

Thanks. Sill me, I should have added the link myself.

like the only Cruise film I ever paid attention to

Really? I thought Edge of Tomorrow is rather neat. Eyes Wide Shut is definitely something you'd remember if you watch it.

Yeah, definitely not a fan of him, but can't deny the value of his works.

Hence the existence of the word "synergy". LOTR is one of my all time favourite films exactly because the music matches the environment so well.

Fair enough, the visuals are also really top tier. IMO the most stunning parts are just where they filmed it (New Zealand?) tho, so I don’t see them as being quite as specific to these movies as the music is

George Lucas turned up to make an homage to the Flash Gordon serials he enjoyed as a kid.

John Williams turned up to make art.
