NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

asdalavisa Since watching the first episode a bit later than the air date (being an Australian viewer), and enjoying the Tron Legacy film directed by Joseph Kosinski, I've come to enjoy the dis-proportioned characters in the mix of 2D animation with CG elements. I was skeptical back in late 2012, when i watched the first episode, unsure how I'd like watching a series based on another character other than Tron, but with time, I'd come to enjoy Elijah Wood as Beck. The universe that it is set in resembles that of the Tron Legacy universe, and being a fan of the film, makes this even more enjoyableTo an extent, the idea of the series feels similar to that of the Star Wars Clone wars animation series, being the gap between the first film, and the second film. In the case of Tron Uprising, it is between the original Tron, and Tron Legacy. It's a really great idea, as there most likely won't be a sequel to the Tron Legacy, but having this as a prequel is just genius.I'd definitely recommend this TV show to any fan of the Tron universe if they haven't already seen it, however to those who are new, I'd give the first two episodes a taste, as sometimes just watching the first episode isn't enough to get hooked.

David Baran I just finished watching the first season of Tron Uprising on Netflix.I did not know what to expect but now that I have watched the entire season over 2 days I must say I am completely blown away. This is the first review I have ever written for any film site, and I felt compelled to say a few words given the high quality of this product. Tron Uprising is probably one of the best animated adult themed shows ever created. It takes the best from anime, and feature films and adult TV shows and removes all the silliness, cheese, stupidity, shortcuts, and crap that cheap animation aimed at children is riddled with. It transcends the genre by actually being on the level of a feature film or big budget TV series. Everything is presented with respect to the source material and the viewer which is so rare these days. What the creative team at Disney has accomplished with this project is short of a miracle. They should pat themselves on the back for a job well done and be really proud of this achievement for creating one of the highest quality animated shows in existence. Tron Uprising was a tour de-force (and no I am not a movie shill paid to say this)for me with every episode. It oozes quality out of every pore. The animation is top notch and something only seen in feature animated films in the past. Its actually better then most feature films and TV shows that I have seen in the last few years as far as story, character development, action, and special effects are concerned. It has a very distinctive look that really fits the narrative. The attention to detail is astounding. The show never fails to deliver. It just keeps on giving one awesome scene after another, one twist after another one crazy set piece after another. This is one of few shows I have seen that just keeps on getting better and better with every episode. The voice acting is top notch especially Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore who plays Paige, and Bruce B. Even supporting cast - characters such as Cyrus are exceptionally voiced. The soundtrack takes the best ideas from Daft Punk's album and expands on them giving us a truly epic and intricate film score. Sound design is excellent and adds to the atmosphere. I cannot say enough about how much of a love letter this show is to the Tron universe and how much of a blueprint this has laid for what could be the beginning of a great universe for Disney if they choose to expand on it. Every piece of tech from the light cycles, to even how transport trains or characters move and behave has been considered. The villains are believable and intricate, the writing is fresh and dark with a major focus on being an adult experience which is very refreshing and the main reason you get sucked into watching the series. This show does not insult you like the recent Star Trek Into Darkness did. It does not make you feel dumber and it does not settle for the lowest common denominator. It respects the audience and presents a world that is believable and mature. None of the characters act stupid or cliché. Silliness and kiddie crap are none existent. Humor is minimal and the show has a very dark and sci-fi tone to it which as I said before is very welcome. This is the direction where I wanted animated TV shows to go for years now. I hope Disney realizes that there is a huge audience that enjoys mature animated shows and a darker more complex story and tone that does not insult them. You can tell that no shortcuts of any kind have been taken. From slow motion scenes and really complex angles, to wide panning shots and special effects nothing has been rushed, no frames cut and enough time is given to each set piece to animate. You won't find any rushed scenes as in Saturday morning cartoons or cheap tricks. This has big budget, feature quality written all over it. It really shows how much the creators cared to capture not just the look but the feel of the Tron universe. While watching this I kept thinking how awesome this would have been in the theaters or how cool this universe might be as an MMORPG game or if everything from this show was expanded into other areas. The show is great and it deserves your viewing if you enjoy a mature story that does not insult your intelligence, and if you want to see one of the highest quality animated TV shows in history. Its a total package and this has now become one of my all time favorite shows on Netflix and in general. To add some context..I am in my 30s and have seen a ton of films and movies over my lifetime, Not a geek or hard core fan or collector. Just enjoy good films. This show deserves a second season and in time it will become a classic for its mature story and respect for the Tron Universe. If you are paying attention Disney...keep this show going and market the hell out of it for adults and teens not for just kids! Pay attention how much its liked on Netflix. Partner with Lego as you did for Lone Ranger/Starwars and make some bricks. This has the potential to be huge! Don't throw away the foundation that has been laid by this amazing show. favorite episode: The stranger #13

Paul Matthews (zordmaker) And this comes from someone who considers the original Tron (1982) film to be the best film of all time and my favorite.This animated series is unwatchable. It takes the worst of Tron : Legacy and places it in a blender. What comes out the other end is brown, sticky and smells. It makes Power Rangers look like a literary work.No discernible story, completely unexplainable plot, non existent characters. It clearly exists only because someone, somewhere said it has to.Entire work set inside the "Tron" universe with no explanation whatsoever as to it's existence or what is going on. 70% of each episode consists of fight scenes. The whole thing looks like it was set in the real world, not the Tron universe. Even the compressed soundtrack is abysmal.Being Tron, I really, really did try my hardest to give this one a real chance. I watched up until episode six before I finally decided mid stream finally to just switch the gaddamn thing off and never go back.If this is the direction Tron is heading in then gawd help it.

dcm_productions Hopefully a sign of where Disney is taking some of their more mature properties, Tron: Uprising doesn't disappoint in telling the story that needs be told. I wouldn't dream of writing any spoilers here, my best advice is to watch the show and enjoy every moment yourself. Some of the best storytelling you'll ever see, sight & sound are top notch.Taking place between the original Tron and the 2010 Legacy film, Uprising connects the dots between the two films with the pace of a well-crafted cyber thriller. In addition, all of the punches you'd expect to be pulled back by Disney are in fact shown with great result. It's as though someone just said, "let's roll with this one" and let the Uprising team just do their thing. Let's hope there's more like it in the future.
