Tron: Legacy is undoubtedly the most feverishly-anticipated movie of the year if you’re a boy of very specific age.
And now there’s a Tron: Legacy trailer! Exciting! But what does it show? Will it be as good as the original Tron? What’s the Daft Punk soundtrack like? Has Jeff Bridges shaved off that silly beard yet? What is a Tron, anyway?
Frankly, if you watch the Tron: Legacy trailer, you’ll end up none the wiser. It’s all flash-flash and bang-bang and you may as well be peering into a distorted kaleidoscope while nightmarish circus music plays in the background for all the good it’ll do, if we’re honest. But never fear – we’ve taken the Tron: Legacy trailer and broken it down scene by scene. You’ll find it much easier to work out what’s going on afterwards, we promise…
Without any further ado, here’s the Tron: Legacy trailer in full…
No, us neither. Not a bloody clue. Honestly, we may as well have been watching a mid-1970s Kurdish public information claymation film about the dangers of angry horses for all the information we managed to get out of it. Never feature, we’re going to decode the crap out of the Tron: Legacy trailer for you, in incredible detail. Ready?
TRON: LEGACY TRAILER SCENE 1
Here we meet our new hero. As you can see, he’s quite good at motorbikes. But don’t bother remembering that, because it almost certainly won’t be important to the plot in any way.
TRON: LEGACY TRAILER SCENE 2
Here’s a close-up reminder of the name of the film – Encom TRON Encom. Although technically we think this film is really called Encom TRON Encom: Legacy or Encom TRON Encom 2: The Legacy or Encom TRON Encom 2: Legacy – The Squeakquel. Truth be told, we just don’t know.
TRON: LEGACY TRAILER SCENE 3
Cool, it’s the Batmobile! Um, we mean the Tronmobile! Batmotron? Tratmoquad? Oh, screw this. It’s the bloody Batmobile, OK?
TRON: LEGACY TRAILER SCENE 4
This is where Tron: Legacy lays out its cards most explicitly. It’s The Matrix… BUT WITH FRISBEES! Also, depending on the gender of the genitalia we’re staring up at, this is either the sexiest or most repulsive scene from the Tron: Legacy trailer.
TRON: LEGACY TRAILER SCENE 5
Oh, great, we didn’t know that Kim Cattrall was going to be in this. Hello, Kim! We loved you in Honeymoon Academy! Nice glass penis!
TRON: LEGACY TRAILER SCENE 6
Holy crap, it’s OSCAR WINNING ACTOR JEFF BRIDGES! And he’s still got his Crazy Heart beard, too! Maybe at some point in Tron: Legacy he’ll sing a downhome country and western song about the Sapphire HD5850 1GB GDDR5 Graphics Card or something. Fun!
TRON: LEGACY TRAILER SCENE 7
Oh wait, it looks like the motorbike scene from earlier in the trailer was important after all. We sure didn’t see that coming. Also, there’s speculation that one of the riders in this scene is actually The Stig from Top Gear. We hope that’s true, because that would increase the likelihood of Tron: Legacy containing a scene where someone throws a red tortoise shell at Jeremy Clarkson and he explodes. Fingers crossed!

That trailer was… umm… well there was that green bit at the start with some official looking writing on it, then I think I had some sort of a seizure and then it was over. I might have to see this movie or, alternatively, a doctor.
Ian says
Nice trailer :)
Does anyone know the name of the soundtrack used in this trailer?
Flux Cobalt says
If you have seen the original
Chuck says
I have to see this movie, somehow, right now. Maybe some sort of “Fanboys”-like quest?
End of line.
Michael says

War Games 2 did come out (a couple of year back in fact), but it was B rated movie fiasco.
