I'm excited to get the point where I can avoid human contact and still get human contact.

The movie took no risks. Full of cliches and tropes. I saw it in 3D which didn't make any difference tbh. There were some cool visuals and the CGI was top notch, just nothing that stood out in the movie.

2010's Tron is still the GOAT modern day video game movie by a mile. It achieved what RP1 couldn't in terms of a connection to the characters and story.

I say see this movie once, but keep your expectations tamped. Don't be fooled by them slapping Spielbergs name on the movie while using a ghost director.

I would just say read the book.

They had to skip over a lot to still make it a 2:20 running time movie.

I like non-fiction if I'm going to read. I'm sure the book does a better job at world creation though, plus you're own imagination.

There is more risk in the book. That's all I'll say. It can be more gruesome than even the stacks scene.

I tend to read non-fiction myself, but I read that reading fiction before bed can be good for you so I've been trying it out.

That book is 'gruesome?'

Good lord man, read some Abercrombie or something. You're becoming wussified.

I said more gruesome than the stacks scene. It’s a comparative. You know, killing a ton of innocent people with a bomb versus...

they kill the kid, I knew they weren’t gonna do that on screen. They freaking throw his ass out the window iirc.

now you're just being a troll.

he talked about taking risks.

I think what they did in the book that i put in the spoiler would qualify.

They should've put it in the movie, but I knew they wouldn't.

Just like they didn't show a similar famous event in the star wars prequel.
