A Quick Tip by Sean_Rhodes

So is it worth seeing? Sure, but you're going to have to tolerate a few things. Mostly the forgettable story, but it IS easy on the eyes, the ears and from a technical standpoint there's quite a bit to admire because so much of it is done so well. It's trying for that complexity and meaning that keeps Tron Legacy from being great. Here's a little reality for you: Sometimes simplicity really is the key. And just because a movie lacks depth does not make it a bad movie. It's because Tron tries to have depth that it becomes a lot less worthwhile.

Uninspired, Unimpressive, Dull And Redundant "LEGACY"....

Every once in awhile, we get to see a film aimed at displaying the latest advancements in movie magic. Movies such as this prove to be simple escapist entertainment that is meant to take the viewer along for its ride, and not much else. However, I think escapist entertainment is just another excuse of a mediocre film, since movies such as “The Matrix”, the anime “Spirited Away” and even the recently released “Inception” have managed to impress with a compelling … more

"I Fight for the Users..."

Reviewing Tron Legacy is hard. It is not a bad movie by any means but as I watched and observed it seemed as though there was something missing. Along those lines it's not that Tron Legacy has nothing to offer, it's more that it's a movie that offers little more than it's own visually stimulation. This wouldn't be bad at all IF Tron Legacy didn't try so hard to try to say something. And we'll get to that. By watching the … more

I never thought I would like this movie so much

“Tron Legacy eh? Isn’t Tron that weird old movie with the terrible computer graphics?” Those were my first words when I heard of this movie. I remember watching Tron as a kid it came on the Disney Channel one day while watching I thought it was the coolest and weirdest thing ever. Obviously as a 9 year old kid I was really only watching it for the Light Cycle battles. I saw bits and pieces of it again a few years ago on TV I was channel surfing between … more

How about them Seizures?

**1/2 out of **** 2010 seems to be a huge year for sequels. Long-awaited sequels in particular. First, we got "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps". Then we get "Tron: Legacy". So how has "Tron" aged in 30 years? Somewhat well. The sequel isn't half bad either, and in all respect it is every bit as average as the original. In an attempt to get an actual audience this time around, the filmmakers decided to have Jeff Bridges reprise his role as … more

Back in the Grid

Let's be clear on something here, just to be sure we understand: The original Tron was NOT about characters or plot! Never, ever! It really wasn't - it was written and directed with every intention of being an excuse to show off Disney's new-fangled array of whiz-bang special effects. Although the special effects in the original Tron look badly dated by today's standards, back then they were a revolution, with Disney ushering in the official age of computer effects and using Tron as a way to intimidate … more

Tron Legacy is a visually dazzling movie.

Tron Legacy is a visually dazzling movie with excellent music and an easy to follow plot. I recommend the movie for these reasons. Jeff Bridges reprises his role as Kevin Flynn. He also plays the evil Clu. Clu is a computer program that looks exactly It is interesting to see Jeff Bridges play both characters. The plot is simple. Flynn has been trapped in a software virtual world for twenty plus years. He has a son named Sam who finds his long lost father and tries to get him out of this virtual … more

A decent effort, but ultimately... no.

Ok, so it’s been almost a full day since I saw this movie and I’ve had to spend quite a lot of time, much more than usual, sorting out what I thought and what I wanted to write about it. The plot is pretty basic. The 1989 version of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), disappears. Twenty years later his son (Garrett Hedlund), goes looking for him. He gets sucked into the computer world where an evil program, Clu (Jeff Bridges), is masterminding a plot to take over the real world. … more

A Weak Script May Hinder It, but Awesome Visuals and a Fun Story Help Make it A Great Time

This time last year, almost to the day, James Cameron’s Avatar was released to fantastic reviews and an accolade of awards, leaving just as many viewers saying “meh” as there were praising it as “the best movie of all time”. I’ll admit I was one of the viewers in the middle. It’s not a bad film, in fact its visual flair and ambition are the best things about it, but it’s not a film I would consider a front runner for Best Picture, an … more

Visually stunning, Tron: Legacy doesn't offer enough reasons to care about the story...

This is a very ambiguous movie if you're trying to contemplate about it too much. It may appear to be a groundbreaking science fiction but it also may look like another pale blockbuster saved only by the visual effects. I'm not one of those Tron fanboys and I will not criticize the movie just for fun but I need to say that this film lacks in substance. You don't need to see the first movie to really connect the stories because there's an intro and many references … more

An old-school vision made modern

Tron: Legacy is a slicker, sexier, and faster movie than its predecessor - which for a movie about the digital world, makes perfect sense. I took two of my daughters with me to see it, one of whom is just a couple years older than I was when I saw the original Tron, eons ago. I remember getting lost in the idea of a world inside the computer, programs represented as individuals, digital pathways traveled like roads, and games where the stakes were more real than I had ever … more

About this movie

Wiki

“Tron: Legacy” is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.
