TRON 2 At Comic-Con

My Sci-Fi memory goes back a long way young Jedi. Back in 82, my first personal computer the Sinclair ZX-81 was gangsta. I remember buying a ram addon for it that clipped to the back. We loaded games, such as they were, from cassette players. It took a long time. 30-45 minutes later, you were in pixelated glory. Unfortunately, if you so much as sneezed near the computer, or typed harder than a landing butterfly, the ram chip would disconnect and you would have to start over. Which we did, happily. Times have changed. In 82, a movie called TRON changed the way we looked at special effects in movies and at computers in general. I expected more after TRON.

At Comic-Con, the new TRON movie is getting some feature love. On the floor they even have the new lightcycle, made famous in old school TRON. It is bad ass. Somebody also took a shaky cam video of some TRON 2 footage. It’s not wonderful, but you can see the new cycle in action and get a decent feel about the new movie. A legit trailer will soon be here. Thanks Gizmodo.
