^I do agree the party atmosphere was attractive, but I think the TRON branding, and seeing how most of the film's music tracks can be danced to and just the overall fact that Daft Punk was involved is along with the atmosphere what made TRON "fit" for an incredibly successful event.

EDIT: Plus I think it did a good job disguising some of the areas that were under construction/rehab in the Hollywood area.

^Yeah, definitely. I'm not discounting the role that TRON played in the event, I'm just saying that you can walk over to ElecTRONica without having ever seen the movie (I hadn't at that point, myself) and still have a great time. So even if the movie was a flop, that doesn't change the fact that it makes for a great theme for the atmosphere they wanted to create.

I find the Flynn's arcade expereince amazing. Just having it open up with the music like that makes you really feel that the movies have been brought to life.

When ElecTRONica gets replaced this season, I hope they can find the money to install all the cool effects into the buildings themselves so during the day, its looks normal and at night it seem to come out of nowhere.
