To be honest I did not expect this movie to be as nested as Inception or as profound as Magnolia. That would have been a bit over the top in my eyes and let the old movie sit there back as a pitiful old movie.
In any aspect for me it is a worthy follow up to the old TRON movie with the old style being transported to the possibilities of graphics today. The old movie had a simple story too so it fits.
Compared to other very flat movies, TRON at least did not give the impression it is trash.
With the whole optical style, the pretty ladies and the cool Jeff Bridges, excellent music from Daft Punk, I have to admit that really liked that movie.

Just a quick question here, about Legacy Zones. Well more about how to determine if you are actually in one, on logging into a legacy zone - is there a quick way of checking that?

ARMAGETRONAD(6) Games Manual ARMAGETRONAD(6)
NAME
armagetronad - a 3D Tron-like high speed game
SYNOPSIS
armagetronad [-h, --help] [-v, --version] [--doc] [-f, --fullscreen] [-w, --window, --windowed] [--fastforward] [--benchmark] [--record]
[--playback]
DESCRIPTION
The rules are simple: you ride a lightcycle (a kind of motorbike that can only turn 90 degrees at a time, leaves a wall behind and cannot
be stopped). Avoid running into a wall. Make your opponent run into a wall. This idea comes from the 1982 Disney movie "Tron".
One thing is different than in other Tron clones: you can accelerate. However, there is a catch. The only way to accelerate is to drive
close to player walls. This allows for some interesting tactics. Every time you make a turn, you lose 5% of your speed -- so don't be too
nervous, speed is your only resource against other players!
First thing you shold do is go into the "Player Menu" to set your name and your keyboard and mouse configuration. Then, go into the "Game
Menu" and start a single player game against one AI opponent (the game mode does not really matter here). Then, get some friends together
and try the multiplayer modes!
SHIFT-ESC is the "boss key" and quits Armagetron as fast as possible.
