What are some movies where the setting is more interesting than the plot? (piefed.social)

Tron: Ares

Hopefully they learn that humans doing cool computer things in computer is always going to be cooler than computer doing cool computer things in human

Also Tron: Legacy to a lesser extent, but that story was just corny and oddly paced, while doing a solid job of respecting the spirit of the original

    I don't know if I agree with that. The hero of the original was turned into a brainwashed lackey of the sequel's villain, and had something like two lines in the whole movie.

    Remember, I’m just talking Plot v setting, i consider Legacy more respectful of the setting of the computer world

    Also, TRON had how many lines in the original? 😂 (I consider TRON having almost no agency in Legacy to be a funny nod to the original)

    And also Ares omitted every character in the first two films except for Flynn, so shrugs

    Anyway, I’m not trying to influence your enjoyment of any piece of media in the franchise,

    I hope you have a nice day and ample opportunity in life to revel in the media you enjoy
