Tron: Legacy was released on blu-ray on Tuesday. Several different versions are available including one that's packaged with a new blu-ray edition of the original
Tron. I elected to get the two-disc DVD/blu-ray combo in 2D. There's a 3D version as well but, frankly, I sort of think 3D TV is a dumb idea. For the amount of content that's available it's not something I'm willing to invest in.
I have to say I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of bonus features. Most of what's on the disc has already been leaked online. I was hoping for many more interviews and featurettes about the design elements and visual effects of the film. Disney has always been a little wary about revealing too many secrets about their productions. I think it's unfortunate. I like when the filmmaking process is totally transparent.
Lack of features aside, the film looks fantastic on blu-ray. In order to maintain the original aspect ratio of the scenes shot for IMAX, the ratio sometimes changes. I thought this would be really distracting but I actually barely noticed and most people probably wouldn't at all.
As a little added bonus from the Disney Movie Club this month, I received this sheet of Tron: Legacy stickers. I'm not sure what I'll do with them but they're kind of cool!
END OF LINE
