The first trailer for Tron Legacy has been released and it looks, for want of a better adjective, stunning. This is just as well, given the impression the original Tron left in the minds of an entire generation. So much so that it matters not that the first film looks as dated as a Christmas jumper on January 1st.
The trailer does not give too much away as far as plot goes, aside from showing Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) on the hunt for his father Kevin (the Oscar-winning Dude Jeff Bridges), who has been inside the ENCOM system for 25 years.
However fans (including myself) are more interested in seeing the visuals for now. And they look fantastic. Nearly three decades and a heck of a lot of technology have passed since the original was released, but this early indication suggests that Tron Legacy has managed to both create a world which looks like it has burned through a Michael Bay-sized budget as well as retaining the style and feel of the first film.

YOu are right Paul, the trailer doesnt give away much of the plot. But i must say, I am very impressed with the graphics. I am normally skeptical of remakes/sequels/prequels/reboots, because so many of them are just loosley based on the original. However, after watching the trailer I feel like they are trying to stick with the original style.
Love it.

It’s amazing what a trailer can do. This is nine months away yet it’s got me even more excited to see it. Of course I should have had faith in The Dude’s decision to do it.

Haha, I love trailers, completely addicted. A trailer can make or break a movie for me, so I feel where you are coming from.
In fact, I am so bad, I often judge a film I am getting ready to watch by what trailers roll before it!

Love the trailer. I’ve watched it many times. I had my doubts but the visuals, the score, and the fact that part of the original cast show up have sold me.
