Possible Tron Trilogy On Its Way?

It’s not even out yet, but there’s already talk of a new Tron trilogy…….IF the upcoming ‘Tron: Legacy’ can make a huge sum of money at the box office.

Disney has said because of the hype that Tron: Legacy is starting to pick up, it’s likely that a trilogy will be on the cards. Following on from Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is this a good thing? Pirates was amazing, but got worse as they went along (mainly because of Orlando Bloom’s and Kiera Knightleys god awful performances…in my opinion).

If it hadn’t been for one Johnny Depp, those films would have failed abysmally, no wonder they won’t be back, but Johnny Depp will return for a 4th Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Toy Story 2 3D Review

This isn’t really a complete review as I’d normally write here on Zath as I’m sure everyone has already seen Toy Story 2. But as with my ‘review’ on Toy Story 3D, this is just a short post about seeing Toy Story 2 in 3D.

But just in case you haven’t seen it, Woody is kidnapped by a toy collector who wants to sell him and the rest of ‘Woody’s Roundup’ to a Japanese museum. It’s then up to Buzz & co. to find Woody and bring him home. We meet new characters including Barbie’s Mrs Potato Head and Buzz’s arch enemy, Emperor Zurg.

‘Up’ Review (Pixar)

Up (PG)

Cast: Edward Asner, Christopher Plummer, Jordan Nagai, Bob Peterson,
Director: Pete Doctor, Bob Peterson (co-director)
Running time: 96 minutes

Pixar are notorious for creating magnificent pieces of visual work with suitably moving storylines to accompany the animation and soundtrack, thereby undoubtedly producing spellbinding works of art. I am hoping that my previous needlessly complex sentence construction will go somewhat towards explaining how the facets of this film mean to do well when put together, but ultimately don’t manage to cut the mustard. Don’t get me wrong, it feels like it should do well. But, for some reason, I just can’t get the Pixar magic out of this production.

‘Toy Story 3D’ Review

OK, well this isn’t really a review of Toy Story as I don’t see the point, but I just thought I’d do a small post on reviewing the 3D side of the film. Now everyone knows how amazing the film is and it was a benchmark for all animated films. It was the first ever fully CGI full length feature and was released 14 years ago in 1995. Toy Story fuelled my hunger for wanting to know more about animated films and led me to getting my degree in Computer Animation.

I still remember going to see it at the cinema and was absolutely blown away from what I saw. Now with Toy Story 3 less than a year away (controls the excitement), Pixar have re-released this absolute classic again in 3D.

Toy Story 3 Trailer

I’ve got a problem. Well, it’s more of an obsession. Any time anyone mentions the words Toy Story, all the little Serenas inside me jump around in glee. They go mental, actually. After watching the first one at the tender age of 12 (in the tender year of 1995), I fell in love with it immediately. It resonated so much with my own experiences of growing up and how important your true friends are that when the sequel was announced four years later, all the little Serenas threw a party in celebration. News of the third to complete the trilogy definitely made all the little mes go bonkers and head to Vegas.

But, the flimsy Toy Story 3 teaser trailer that Disney/Pixar released a few months ago was so poor that it made me a little sad. I watched it and felt like throwing a tantrum because of the fact that after NINE YEARS of waiting for news of the third film they released a trailer that revealed nothing but the fact that there was a third film. What a waste of time.

Toy Story 3 Teaser Trailer

Having just seen the Toy Story 3 teaser trailer, I’ve just drooled all over my keyboard!

It’s been 10 years since Toy Story 2 and I can only see the 3rd being the best of the bunch.

I think one of the reasons this is being made is because when Disney bought out Pixar, they had the rights to create any sequel of the Pixar films. So instead of Disney creating Pixar’s baby, they created it themselves, thank God!! But could the whole sequel thing get a bit old, especially with Cars 2 coming out in 2011/12??

Er….no!

Pure Review (PS3)

As you may have already read in my “Pure (PS3) Demo” review, the game is a racing game on ATV bikes and has a feel of Motorstorm and SSX. The craziness of Motorstorm with 16 riders on the track at one time which can be fun, and the tricks you can pull off on the jumps is reminiscent of SSX.

You might notice a difference to this review and this is because I’m going to be doing game reviews from the tech side a bit more to give a deeper account of the game being reviewed.

And what a game to start with!

The opening of Pure has you completing a training session the same as in the demo, and then you have to build your own ATV which is really cool! Then it’s into the game! When you’ve completed a few races and gained some points you unlock extra parts for your bike which helps to improve your ATV.

Pure Demo (PS3)

Imagine a mix between Motorstorm and SSX……..and you’ve got Pure!

I saw the PS3 demo for this game on the Playstation Network and thought it could be good for a laugh for a couple of minutes, but this game has left me wanting more.

Pure is the new ATV racing game from Disney Interactive. In the demo, you have objectives to complete before you can race. The objectives are there just to get you used to the game controls and include, doing a lap around the track, pulling tricks, boosting and completing a lap within 27 seconds.

Tower of Terror (Disney Land)

I’ve been thinking about visiting Disneyland Paris, one of the rides there is called ‘The Twilight Zone: The Tower of Terror’ which is based upon the TV show; The Twilight Zone and takes it’s theme from the fictional Hollywood Tower Hotel.

The ride itself transports passengers into a simulation of a phantom lift that shoots up the liftshaft and then plummets back down – this kind of sounds like one of the rides in Blackpool, but only done a lot better.
