The Internet likes something!

Everything I like is bad. Just ask the Internet, which can't seem to agree on anything -- every single thing on Earth is both the best thing ever and the worst thing ever.

But today, the cyberworld appears to be united in its enthusiasm for this:

Disney's "Tron Legacy" shouldn't work. It probably shouldn't even be made. But this trailer certainly has me excited.

Box Office Mojo tells us that the original "Tron," released in the summer of 1982, grossed $33 million total. Based on the enthusiasm for this trailer, and the quality that it seems to promise, "Tron Legacy" may gross that on Day 1.

"Tron" is not a wholly successful film -- the story was ultimately very silly, and the pacing was torturous -- but it is an intriguing landmark in that it was filmed using techniques that will never, ever be used again. Its computerized world was created by first filming the actors in black-and-white costumes on completely black sets; animators gave it color and light later. The CGI effects were groundbreaking, if not totally convincing, but they didn't need to be -- they depicted a fantasy world inside a computer. Nothing looks like "Tron," not even this forthcoming sequel, which appears to have shot in a more conventional way.

"Tron" is not the most recognizable property in the world. I bet most of you reading this have never seen it, or haven't seen it in years and years. Trying to turn this property into a franchise 28 years later is a risky proposition for Disney, but they obviously like what that first-time director Joseph Kosinski showed them. (Enough to give him a $200 million budget, according to some reports.)

The "Tron Legacy" trailer seems to promise the kick-ass "Matrix" sequel we never got, with Jeff Bridges and Olivia Wilde filling in for Laurence Fishburne and Carrie-Anne Moss. (That's what I call "trading up.") The hero is Garrett Hedlund, whom I don't remember seeing in "Friday Night Lights," and the man talking to him in the opening is Tron himself, Bruce Boxleitner. At last year's Comic-Con, Bridges compared the film's plot to "Heart of Darkness" and "Apocalypse Now," and that appears to be true.

But Bridges doesn't just reprise his role as Flynn; he also reprises his role as the computer program Clu, whom you can spot at the 1:36 mark of the trailer. Flynn has aged 28 years, but Clu has not, and the tiny glimpse we get of the digital facial model of the young Bridges is easily the most impressive example of such an effect. The younger versions of Professor X and Magneto seen in "X3: The Last Stand" showed promise, but they weren't quite there yet, were they?

But for all the startling images -- how 'bout that new Recognizer? -- and the thrill of seeing the newly minted Oscar-winner return to the role of Flynn, the best thing about this trailer must be that entrancing music, which sounds like Daft Punk's version of a Clint Mansell score. And that's because it is Daft Punk. The French duo is scoring the film, and apparently scored this trailer. The original "Tron" boasted a synthesized score by Moog pioneer Wendy Carlos, and Daft Punk seems to be the natural choice to build upon that.

Stunning visuals, hypnotic music, and IMAX 3D? "Tron Legacy" is shaping up to be the can't-miss movie theater event of 2010. Let's hope it has a better script than "Avatar."
