The new trailer for the highly anticipated Tron sequel is actually pretty sick. Disney has definitely found a way to give you just enough to get all your senses buzzing. Boasting the latest in 3D technology and visual affects while combining it with Daft Punk’s awesomeness, this is sure to be a blockbuster hit. I cant wait till December!

After being transported into the surreal landscape of a mainframe computer to destroy an intruder (Tron), a programmer finds himself allied with the leader of a rebellion against a corrupt cyber-entity. ‘Tron Legacy’ is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (GARRETT HEDLUND), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (JEFF BRIDGES), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous. – In Theaters December 17th, 2010.

Pixar’s UP 3-D (Theaters)

Up, Up and Away! Pixar’s latest release UP, was easily the best animated movie I’ve seen so far this year. Bob Peterson and the rest of the Disney/Pixar team have come together to produce yet another exceptional film. Without giving away too much, I will mention that UP begins with a sweet but very emotional and gut wrenching beginning. Similar to Pixar’s 2008 summer blockbuster Wall·E, the story begins with minimal dialogue, relying heavily on the expressions of its characters and mood of the music to carry the story.

What makes this film work is the outstanding development of its characters. Pixar has this uncanny ability to create characters who can easily personify themselves with a touch humanity and soul that we can easily relate to. Carl Fredrickson is a seventy eight year old widower, who loses everything he loves and becomes this grumpy old man who keeps to himself. With nothing to lose but the fond memories of his past and a “promise” he has yet to fulfill, he embarks on an incredible journey in a house carried by thousands of helium balloons.

Before embarking on his journey however, Carl is introduced to Russell, a young fun-filled boy, who is more of a comical character than anything else. Russell’s original intention was to earn an “assist the elderly” badge to complete his collection of boy scout merits, but he finds himself in the middle of something much more exciting than he can imagine.

I can honestly say that I enjoyed this film from beginning to end. My wife and I happened to watch this on our fourth year anniversary, and it was absolutely the perfect film for this occasion. Although UP is a childrens feature, I think that it will appeal to the older “married” folks much more than the kiddos. The story just has much more meaning to those who can relate better to it and truly appreciate its overall meaning and value.

OT: Did you get to watch the short film before the feature started? My wife really enjoyed interaction between the clouds and the storks. haha. I thought it was sweet. I think I’m getting old!

But Bolt has bought into his own heroic image, now believing that he really possesses the super-canine powers of his fictional television series.
