I just got back a little while ago from the Tron: Legacy event held at IMAX theaters in five cities- New York, Los Angeles, London, Toronto, and Sydney. No details were released beforehand describing what would be shown. Cell phones had to be checked and everyone had to go through a metal detector. This made me believe that we would be shown more than just the trailer that will be attached to Alice in Wonderland next week. I was wrong. All we were shown was the new (and short) trailer. Why the secrecy for just a trailer? We did get a cool FLYNN LIVES t-shirt from American Apparel which helped lessen the disappointment.

The trailer itself was very impressive. There's definitely a big wow factor involved. The trailer is not long at all but it is extremely effective. Disney will benefit immensely from having it attached to Alice in Wonderland, which will no doubt bring in the masses. I'm actually more excited for Tron: Legacy than I was for Avatar after seeing the trailer.

The trailer begins with Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner) talking to Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), Kevin Flynn's son. Sam arrives at Flynn's Arcade via motorcycle, which is completely abandoned. He goes inside only to find a hidden room behind the Tron arcade game. We're then taken into the world of Tron which is nothing short of amazing. It's visually stunning and this is where that wow factor comes in. We see Quorra (Olivia Wilde) sporting a short black hairdo. Jeff Bridges looks badass as always and overall the trailer is awesome. It's so well put together and I don't think many people will be disappointed when they see it next week.
