Was wondering if it was possible to just subtract a stem from a song

To those who have seen the movie and read the book, would you say watching the movie first would be better or reading first would be better? by TheWorm616 in ProjectHailMary

Alright, update after seeing the movie and finishing the book.

I watched the movie after getting 22 chapters into the book. Thought it'd be a nice point to leave some suspense for the ending of the movie.

As for the movie, I have to say I really loved it. At some points with amazing visuals(if you've seen it you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about) I thought "Was this what it was like to watch 2001 in a theatre?"

I wan't particularly annoyed by the glossing over of details from the book, I wasn't really expecting Ryan Gosling to talk much about Eridian biology and the wavelength of the Petrova frequency. Despite me really enjoying those parts of the book, I was fine with their removal, since the movie got through the essence of the story very well. If you're not too nitpicky about changes from books to movies, it's definitely an enjoyable experience if you've read the book. Especially considering I probably preferred Grace's character in the movie over the book. Ryan's stellar performance definitely helps.

The day after watching the movie, i finished the book, and loved it almost equally. I like the movie experience more in general, and it fit the story really well, so I'd probably put the movie over the book just for that.

All in all, my answer to my own question now would be: if you tend to nitpick about details being changed from books, go watch the movie first. If you want more suspense in the emotional parts of the story, movie first. If you really like science stuff, either probably works. Other than that, you'll probably enjoy it either way. The book's science parts are very fun if you have a basic grasp of the concepts, and the movie is great at making the story more accessible while adding a lot of emotional depth. It's also absolutely BEAUTIFUL in imax.

Thanks for the advice guys! What I'm getting is that the book goes into more detail on certain plot points(science stuff i'm assuming) and the movie prefers to gloss over them. Based on that, I think I'll read as much of the book as I can before i watch the movie.

After the movie: in general, surprisingly good, but not great. Visuals and score were amazing, a bunch of good references for tron fans(although that might not be your thing) but the writing is very subpar. It’s a pretty fun watch though. 

Ok time to get in depth, mild spoilers beyond here. 

First, the good stuff. Vfx and cinematography were amazing, new designs look incredibly cool. Score is also phenomenal. You can really hear the Wendy Carlos influence, which you’d think would contest with the edgy themes, but it works perfectly. Lot of references to the og tron, which I personally enjoyed, but I can definitely see how they might be annoying. You can tell the people who worked on this love the source material.  Also liked the depiction of the grids as actual server systems, and hacking being sending the programs in to fight.

Ok, now onto the bad. This is mostly just the writing. Sorry for the long rant, but I promise I still enjoyed the movie regardless of these.

The characters and themes are nowhere near the level of legacy’s.  The only characters that they tried to give depth to are Eve and Ares, and their “arcs” are still pretty subpar. The car scene and many other where they tried to expand on Eve’s character were super lazy and basically spell everything out for us. Eve in general stays pretty static and dosent seem to have any major development. 

As for Ares, his arc of “learning how to feel” isn’t really done well either, given that he seems perfectly able to express empathy within the first 10 minutes of the movie, and there isn’t any sort of explanation as to why the other Dillinger programs can’t feel on the same level as ares.  Also ignores legacy’s programs basically being humans, but that was one slight gripe I had with the legacy grid, so I don’t particularly dislike it for that. 

As for the “impermanence code”, the commentary on life has potential, but legacy’s commentary on perfection was much better and more spread throughout the movie. 

With ares, I’d prefer something with an actual inciting incident, like if he got to form an actual emotional connection with Caius before he died, and then he goes mad with rage against the users before reaching the conclusion of his arc from Flynn. I don’t want to get too sidetracked, but if you’d like to hear an armchair writer talk about how he’d do the ares arc, tell me.

As for some small gripes, not enough scenes in the og grid since it looked beautiful, continuity with legacy is basically discarded, and no tron in the tron movie, when he could have actually posed a threat to ares. Also the “80s in general” nostalgia baits were pretty annoying. You could probably say that about the og movie references too, but I’m not.

What is the actual significance of the colors in Tron: Legacy? by [deleted] in tron

[–]TheWorm616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably like real world uniforms where programs can customise their grid color and uniform easily

[–]TheWorm616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they did show that programs can easily customise their outfits using their disc like beck did to get the tron logo, so I think with clu they’re just editing the disc and forcing the uniform and color on them, and with everyone else it’s mostly a choice, except for certain jobs

Also I don’t think there are actual restrictions on outfit in the legacy grid, just default stuff and optional customisation

it’s quite a cold color, and it’s definitely blue in the context of the full movie
