Is that Judi Dench narrating?

[1983horizons1]

Regrettably, yes.

Morgan Freeman would have been a better choice for this ride than Judi Dench. I mean it's Morgan Freaking Freeman.

There is no reason why they had to get rid of the city at the end. Maybe the scenes were outdated but the fiber optic effects and the city beat the glowing triangles by far. They ended at the beginning of home computers. The last I remembered I got a text on a handheld computer that is way more advanced than a Macintosh Performa, fit's in my pocket, it also works as a camera and a phone Its called a CELL PHONE. Even the screen show is an outdated image.

@Starwing1126 ...it's 10 minutes of Siemans getting their name plastered all over the place

...the Judi Dench narration feels as if she's "talking down" to me....and I find that quite offensive.

[alissafalcowilliams]

yeah come on, Disney has enough money to update the last part of the ride that is supposed to be the future. It's supposed to be the future but it's more like 1980!!!

[Starwing1126]

just 10 minutes of darkness! how did nobody else notice that!

[robnum1]

the old ride was so outdated! they were talking about the future, but most of the stuff they were envisioning when this ride was made happened 20 years later.

The Irons narration also read like a textbook. A very elegant textbook, mind you, but not something I'd read for pleasure.

I personally liked the eloquence of the old narration, but I can imagine most guests being bored with it. The Dench narration though seems a little too conversational and jokey, and it just doesn't work to have her inject little bits of humor into the speech when the animatronics are all deadly serious.

"Now see here, 007..."

I guess this is a ride I will have to experience myself to see if it matches up to the older versions :)

[Motherboard46]

I liked the old ride much better. Nothing wrong with the New ride but the old ride had more of a "classic" look and feel to the ride itself...

It would have been cool if new scenes and characters were included..
