I am not a fan of film sequels, which which too often dilute a masterpiece in an effort to enhance it. However, I was a huge fan of TRON ( Director: Steven Lisberger, Story by: Steven Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird) TRON: Legacy (Director: Joseph Kosinski, Screenplay by: Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, Story by: Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz, Brian Klugman, and Lee Sternthal), and the concept of TRON: Ares (Director: Joachim Rønning, Screenplay: Jesse Wigutow, Story by David DiGilio and Jesse Wigutow.

The first two films were spectacular and I am hoping the talent continues.

What I am cautious of is the focus on sensationalism these days as well as dragging all the current socio-political B.S. into a film, like we are seeing in so many new releases. There are masters of Sci-Fi who know how to write a trilogy, but in films, the baton is often passed to someone who is too focused on technology and their own perceived talent to fully grasp the subtle meaning of the original work. They are correct in that new technology allows them to do anything, but they often fail to do the right thing and that is giving depth to the characters.

Still–I am looking forward to the release, where I can even go to a theater to see it on the big screen, like I have the two previous films. It is not often I would say that because I love my home theater system, where there is no one else but me in the theater and I can lounge in my soft-clothes and hit pause if I get a craving for Diana’s biscotti.
