Whether you liked the movie or not, one of the best parts of TRON: Legacy was the light jet battle sequence near the end of the film. The futuristic light-lined planes engaged in an aerial fight set to Daft Punk’s music showcased the capabilities of 3D animation.
“It was the logical evolution of the light cycle is that there would have to be a light jet,” said writer Edward Kitsis in the TRON: Legacy extra features. The movie will be out on Blu-Ray and DVD on April 5. “A lot of time were spent on light jets because we’re geeks.”

Seeing the transformation from the physical structures the cast filmed in to the final computer generated imagery we see on the screen is impressive, and it’s clear that it took a lot of innovation – and imagination – to come up with the sequence.
