Tron: Ares

people into computers -- makes no sense! But there was a time when things didn't have to "make sense" in a sci-fi/fantasy film. I'm all for hard science in films, but if they want to sell me on something fantastical, that's fine with me. As long as it's a good story.
This! Legacy makes no sense last I checked. You have physical bodies transfered because Sam bleeds. He isn't derezzed.

If you can scale it up bringing physical objects out should be much easier than freaking living body that functions.
 
I am meaning to watch Legacy again someday but I think when they made Quorra they used Flynn's disk which had the dna and mass needed to make a person encoded on that. Sam had his disk so he could be reconstituted but Flynn gave his disk to get her out. The people stuff was encoded in the disks they had inside the computer.
I've actually been trying to remember if Quorra being able to move to the real world because Flynn hadn't left the Grid and his mass was available was something that was actually in the movie, or just a logical conclusion I drew on my own while following along with this thread for the past couple days.
 
It's been a while since I watched it, but I don't think Legacy got into the details of how Quorra left the Grid, she just did.
 
Yeah Legacy doesn't explain everything out clearly. For instance behind the laser in the basement are tanks which contain water, carbon, and other stuff also for use when going into the grid and coming back out, but you won't find that mentioned in the movie just behind the scenes production notes.
 
I forgot that it's (kinda) clear that Flynn gives up his disc so that Quorra could leave. I should watch the movie again in full sometime.

Flynn's disc was key, which is why CLU needed it. He did the old switcharoo to CLU at the end.

If I ask the colonel to see the major's file...and they're co-subversives in sub-security profile,
they'll do the old dossier switcheroo, and I'll chalk up a zilch.

Does everything need an explanation?

No it doesn't, but when I read that bit about the storage tanks behind the laser it added more detail to the story for me, but really they should have mentioned it on screen so you wouldn't have had to dig around online.

I love both the first two movies and nothing really needs explaining. It's fun, I enjoyed the ride.
 
While I like Legacy from a visual standpoint and effort at rebooting (lol) the franchise, there is/was one personal gripe about its story. In the first movie, there was a very definite emphasis / grounding of it being ‘inside the mainframe’, I.e. the users communicated with their programs, the ‘Bit’ character, data pathways, the I/O Towers, etc.
Definitely. Plus, I actually bounced off Legacy’s visual style a bit, compared to the first film. In the original Tron, everything had that processed-animation look that — cheesily or not — felt like it took place in cyberspace. In Legacy, background CGI aside, everybody just looked like they were walking around a normally-filmed set with glowstrips stuck on them.

Ha!!! I don't feel so bad now for thinking that because for some parts of Legacy that's exactly how I felt

In a way, it’s a high-budget version of the Lawnmower Man problem: In the first Lawnmower Man, cyberspace is all computer animation. In the sequel, cyberspace has gotten so advanced that everything looks just like people running around in somebody’s backyard…

Feels like video games to me.
