TRON: The Next Day Audience Reviews

Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
DCfan Just like with the movie this 11 minute short was very good. Like with the first review on this page it is interesting to see this lead to a possible sequel to the film it self.There is not really much for me to talk about or review here to be honest but if enjoyed the film you might this.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Tron: The Next Day" is a 10-minute science-fiction film from almost 5 years ago and is obviously based on the cult classic film from the early 1980s. Tron has been quite in recently again as they not only made this short film, but there has also been a full feature movie and at least one television series. The writer and director is Kurt Mattila, who made several car commercials and also worked as an editor on "Iron Man". However, I must say, not having seen the Tron feature films, I was not too impressed by this little film and cannot really see its popularity. Not even Jeff Bridges could save it, but then again we only hear his voice. I guess people who really love science fiction may enjoy it, but I did not see much value in here apart from the special effects area. Certainly not in terms of drama and in my opinion, apart from comedies maybe, every film needs good elaboration in that issue. I missed it here. Not recommended.
breakdownthatfilm-blogspot-com It's interesting how a short film can either excite viewers for an upcoming piece or draw interests into what might happen in the future or both. This is exactly what this short film does. The title of this 11- minute video speaks for itself. The setting takes place directly after Tron: Legacy (2010), literally the day after. This leads to some very interesting ideas for the upcoming plot of the next Tron sequel.The story is narrated by an unknown figure called Zachattack who's been the head of a movement since Kevin Flynn's disappearance in 1989 (from what was explained from Tron: Legacy (2010)) called "Flynn Lives". And as this character continues to talk, the audience gets to see a couple interesting things. First, this narration will go through a series of time line dates that explains how the movement was born and how it effected people in and outside the ENCOM corporation.This brings me to next interesting part - interviews. As the time line continues, there will be several interviews with characters like Alan Bradley, Roy "Ram" Kleinberg (who was in the Tron (1982)) and various civilians. But this is most intriguing and ironic part because the story shows us that know one else knows, not even employees of ENCOM know where Kevin Flynn is. The fact is, only we (the audience) and Sam Flynn know what became of Kevin Flynn. Doesn't it feel weird to know the answer yet you can't tell anyone in real life?This is some deep stuff we are getting into here. It even gives us some clues to who might be in the next sequel and who is going to play a major part. I also enjoyed the music provided by composers Daft Punk, Musikvergnuegen & Walter Werzowa. All contributed to an effective score mashup. I won't give it a full score because it is not a feature film and it is only giving the audience clues. Let's hope things are kept in continuity for the upcoming sequel because it looks like it's going to get interesting.This tiny window into what happens the day after Tron: Legacy (2010) is thought provoking and exciting. It looks like things could be big for the next Tron movie.
