Went to watch the film four times (once in IMAX at Nova Cinemas in Escazu), and every time the whole audience chuckled.

* VindicatedByHistory: Fitting, considering the same fate befell the original film. Upon release, ''Legacy'' was met with mostly mixed reviews from critics, though audiences were more receptive to it. As time has gone on, however, ''Legacy'''s gone on to become far more beloved due to its ''astounding'' visual effects, strong action sequences, beautiful cinematography, some truly special performances, and Music/DaftPunk just ''killing'' it with their amazing score. The story, as well, has gradually become more well-received because of its characters and themes, along with spectacular world building that helps the film's world come to life. All of this has lead the film to be viewed as something that was very much ahead of its time upon release.
Added DiffLines:
** The TronLines are fully practical effects built into the actors' costumes, and they all look spectacular. Many of them are also fully built into the set designs, lending the film an authentic feel.
** The new way that programs are derezzed causes them to become a case of LiterallyShatteredLives, and they look spectacular as they shatter into piles of millions of tiny glass pixels.
** The aesthetic of the city's architecture is a gorgeous case of symmetry, lines of light, and hexagonal tesselation. Every aspect of the film's buildings, really, are spectacular. TronLines abound, populated with tons of programs, each and every one of them unique, and a truly impressive sense of scale.
** The Solar Sailer sequence. SceneryPorn, beautifully digitized aurora borealis, rolling mists beneath a digital sky... It's breathtaking.
