DEREZZED TO KILL
Tron: Legacy may not have lived up to our expectations in terms of thrills and spills but it still rocked the nostalgia boat all the way to the end credits. Seeing Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxlietner reprise their roles after 29 years was enough to do that. (Yes, we were old enough to appreciate the first Tron movie when it came out in 1982.)
But what really caught our attention in this CG-on-'roids sequal, aside from Quorra, was the musical score. It was done by French electronic duo, Daft Punk. Both Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo just blew us away with their music. Since we got hold of the soundtrack two weeks ago, it's been pretty ugly. Imagine us with headphones on, listening to Derezzed wide-eyed with dots for irises--and saliva dripping from our mouths.
Daft Punk just takes you on a total ride with their signature sound--which was beefed up with a couple of surprising orchestral scores. If you find the chance, get your hands on the original OST pronto! It makes for great driving music.
What else can we say? The two Interstella 5555 anime vets can still kill the audience with their robot rock.
