TRON: Legacy/Awesome


 * The arcade being made at Disneyland's Adventure Park complete with classic 1980 games!
 * When Sam first lands in the Digital World, complete with the Flynn's Arcade in the background and a Recognizer hovering above him
 * The entire fight between Sam and Rinzler, but especially when they suddenly find themselves fighting upside-down.
 * The face-off at the End of Line Club. Specifically when and turns the tide of the battle pretty much by just standing there.
 * To elaborate further
 * Even more so that his expression when he looks up says volumes without him ever saying a word.
 * The music that starts playing right after this occurs makes the moment even more awesome.
 * Hell, that entire scene was made of win. Michael Sheen's excellent performance absolutely stole the show. Oh, and there were also these two guys in the background in robot helmets or something like that.
 * Tron's You Shall Not Pass moment in Kevin's flashback.
 * It is Joseph Kosinski's feature film directorial debut. IT IS HIS FIRST FEATURE FILM . Real Life Moment of Awesome.
 * And doubles as a Real Life Call Back; the original movie was Steven Lisberger's feature film directorial debut.
 * At the end of the "The Next Day" documentary where Sam pushes past the reporters and enters the elevator: one reporter asks if he has any statement for the press. His response is to open his jacket and show them the shirt he's wearing:.
 * Which is even more awesome and heartwarming if you think of it in terms of Fridge Brilliance - of course
 * Giving Quorra some much-deserved love, this troper loved when she helps Sam take out Rinzler in Clu's quarters despite having her hands cuffed behind her back.
 * A Real Life example, having the crowd from San Diego Comic-Con be the Disc Wars audience, as seen in the "Disc Roars" feature on the Blu-Ray version.
 * Though not shown, Quorra's story of how Kevin saved her mentions that she was surrounded by Clu's soldiers, likely including Black Guards. Then Kevin appears over her to rescue her. Though she doesn't say it outright, the implication is that Kevin fought off all of Clu's troops to save her.
 * This troper believes the light cycle scene like the first movie was one of the awesome moments. Most specifically the scene where it was just Clu and Sam. Sam was knocked off his cycle and rather than run like hell, he faces Clu head on with his disc drawn.
 * A bit of a meta example: This troper saw this film in theaters. AND IT WAS AWESOME. IT was his first Digital 3D film, and it was the first time it actually worked. That, and Daft Punk's awesome soundtrack is SO much better with surround sound. Also, it was what got this troper interested in Daft Punk to begin with.
