I'd argue that we didn't need a wormhole scene. It was a crutch for a generation of people who thought (and maybe still do) that a computer is a "magic box" where magical things happen.

It's a mechanism ueed to take the viewer on a wondrous journey from the real world into the computer world. It shows us the importance, specialness and mysteriousness of that journey, changing from matter into data. It visually reveals at a high-level the pervasive corruptness of that world, with perhaps only the one lone green I/O tower still remaining. It allows us to witness the journey from Kevin Flynn's shoes, to pull us into the experience and make it feel more personal.

The Tron universe is magical in and of itself, and so there's no reason why every viewer shouldn't get to partake firsthand in the journey to that magical place. It's not a crutch to make technically-challenged people feel warm and fuzzy. It's to bring the experience closer to home and provide a nice, non-abrupt, visually pleasing, self-explanatory transition into to computer world. What happens in T:L in comparison at that moment is cold, abrupt, impersonal, anti-climactic, visually boring, confusing, anti-canon, short and non-magical.

The minutes that follow for Sam Flynn are pure awesome with the recognizer abduction and subsequent fly-overs, etc. But for the moments of getting teleported, it's not so grand, imo. A wasted opportunity for something really cool and special there.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

But it's not explained in T:L how special it is to change matter into data. These days movies are chock-full of that kind of thing and it's nothing new. We're talking a generation where The Matrix was a big deal. Dude in a computer? Great. There's nothing magical about it anymore like there was in those days.

T:L does, to an extent, assume the viewer is familiar with OT. If you've not seen the part with Lora/Gibbs/Alan explaining the whole digitization thing, you're not going to think it's anything special anyway.

Besides, as someone else pointed out, T:L isn't going for the "isn't this magical and wonderful?" thing this time around. The Grid's a scary place now. It was before as well, but this time around it's a lot darker and the concept of digitization isn't a new one. We're not supposed to be in awe that Sam's inside a computer-- that's old hat to us and we're half expecting Rinzler to be working hand-in-hand with Agent Smith and any number of other characters that show up in the human-to-digital stories that are out there. We're just supposed to focus on the story... which includes Sam starting out confused. i'd say we still figure out what's going on faster than he did; when the reco shows up he still half expects he's back home getting arrested again.

Cool. No problem -- just one more way T:L divides rather than unites. Par for the course

If that was used as the wormhole scene, I would felt short-changed. Not as much as the current zap that goes on... but short-changed, nonetheless. where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online
