^ now THAT's trippy as all fuck. Total mushroom-vision!!!

A couple pertinent excerpts wrt viewing on psychedelics:

...

...Kevin, the real one, we learn, has been trapped in the grid for the last 20 years, keeping himself occupied by expanding it into a trillion-watt world radiant against a perpetual dark night. So "Legacy" is definitely tripping the light fantastic more than ever, though tripping (and I don't mean in a substance-enhancing way) more than you'd wish.

...

But "Tron" the first was as much about the look as the story, and in that "Legacy" doesn't disappoint. With the help of director of photography Claudio Miranda and no doubt a warehouse full of computers, "Legacy" is beautifully constructed. The ribbons of light that trail the Lightcycles as they race across the grid are mesmerizing, with the overall 3-D effect something of an ethereal stunner (and I mean that in a good way). In addition to his commercial work Kosinski studied architecture, and you can feel that background infusing virtually every frame, lending a modernist beauty to the morphing shapes of "Legacy." He takes great care in building the architecture of the grid, down to the way in which light plays across space.

"Once the plot is explained it hits something of a higher gear and there’s a certain amount of pleasure in soaking in its sheer moxie and goofy mythology. But it’s all somewhat uninvolving, essentially just a parade of shiny things that combines buckets of cool but empty pyrotechnics with out and out craziness, much of which seems plucked from someone’s imagination with no thought as to how it might fit into a cohesive whole."

welcome to most of my trips, haha.

...

"In the plus column is a thunderous Daft Punk soundtrack but one of the most entertaining things about it is actually just seeing Jeff Bridges looking like he did in the 1980s, while there’s a bizarre cameo from Michael Sheen who seems to be channelling Malcolm McDowell doing a Bowie impersonation"

sounds wonderfully weird.
 
^ true. I went on a hippieflip to see Avatar in 3D, and that was quite cool.....well until my girlfriend had a meltdown XD
