Let's talk about a movie franchise that's as unpredictable as they come - Tron! The Tron series is a wild ride, with a massive gap of almost three decades between the first and second films, and another lengthy wait for the third installment. It's a unique situation, leaving fans wondering if the wait was worth it.
The first Tron movie, released in 1982, was a groundbreaking film for its time, but it didn't exactly win over the movie buffs. Fast forward to 2010, and we got Tron: Legacy, which, despite its impressive visuals, didn't quite reach blockbuster status. And now, after another 15 years, Tron: Ares has arrived, but early box office numbers suggest it might struggle to find its audience.
But here's where it gets controversial... Despite the long waits and mixed reactions, these movies have a certain charm that keeps Disney coming back for more. Even if Ares doesn't rake in the big bucks, it's likely to turn a profit eventually, thanks to worldwide box office and other revenue streams.
So, which Tron movie takes the crown? It's a tricky question, as none of them are flawless. The original is praised for its innovative nature, but it wasn't an instant classic. Paul Scheer, host of 'How Did This Get Made', recently questioned the entire trilogy's legacy, stating that the original's eighties classic status is debatable.
And this is the part most people miss... Tron might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it has its dedicated fans. So, which Tron movie do you think is the best? It's time to have your say! Vote for your favorite, or join the discussion and share your thoughts on why you 'get' or don't 'get' the Tron series.
Remember, it's all about having fun and celebrating the unique world of Tron!
