JohnnyLee1 Imaginative narrative with super technical wizardry. Succeeds in what it sets out to be. Watch out for Rocky Horror like appearance by Michael Sheen, referring to Sam (Garrett Hedlund) as "pretty miss"!

Neonfinity Tron: Legacy is a 2010 Sci-Fi Action film directed by Joseph Kosinski. It stars Jeff Bridges, Olivia Wilde, and Garrett Hedlund. The film was produced and distributed by Disney and is the sequel to my personal favorite movie and have seen this on opening weekend. Is this movie any better or worse? Well, I'm here to tell you what I think.Legacy shows Sam Flynn, given up trying to find his long-lost dad, Kevin (Jeff Bridges). He now annually sabotages his father's former company and later receives a message from his guardian Alan that came from Flynn's Arcade that hasn't operated since his disappearance. Suddenly, Sam finds himself in his father's world of the grid and embarks on a quest to find him again.The characters of Legacy are somewhat hit and miss. Sam doesn't really follow in the protagonist role as good as Jeff Bridges did 30 years before. Speaking of, Jeff does gives the greatest dual role in the film as Kevin/CLU and serves as a reminder how great his acting talents are. Olivia Wilde also gives a pretty good performance as Quorra as well.I like a whole lot about this film. It takes the world of Tron previously seen 30 years ago and gives it an incredible and entirely new feel without straying too far from its established nature. The soundtrack is nothing short of amazing being composed by French Electronic duo Daft Punk. The story may fall a little short but the pacing is alright and I would say is better than the first one. Plus the visual effects are mostly hit and some miss being Clu's CGI face, which I will commend for not being noticeable half the time.Legacy includes themes of Father/Son/Daughter relationships, Betrayal, Religion, Genocide, and Technology. Yes, I am describing a Disney movie. Kevin's relationship with CLU doesn't feel entirely fleshed out but enough to understand that CLU was like a brother to Kevin and basically becomes Hitler shown in his speech later in the film. Kevin was God of the grid and lost himself with his son, his other creation, and his world and takes it back in spectacular fashion at the end of the film.Tron: Legacy did well at the box office, but not enough to set Disney's plans to become a multimedia franchise like they had hoped. And since Disney bought out Marvel films and Star Wars, it will be a while until we get another installment. Luckily, this film has the cult following it deserves and lives on.Overall, I give Tron: Legacy a… 7/10

Uriah43 Approximately seven years after his return from a remarkable world within a mainframe computer, "Kevin Flynn" (Jeff Bridges) mysteriously disappears again leaving behind a young son named "Sam" (Garrett Hedlune) and the company he headed known as ENCOM. As time passes Sam grows older and one day happens to venture into his father's old arcade where he suddenly gets transported into the same cyber world that captured his father years earlier. Unfortunately, while this world is indeed a fascinating place, it happens to be run by a computer program named "CLU" (also played by Jeff Bridges) which has become quite corrupt--and it has no interest in allowing Sam to coexist in his domain. But even worse, it has devised a nefarious plan plan to manipulate Sam so that it can materialize into the real world and wreck havoc and mayhem upon it as well. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an interesting film largely because of the computer graphics which were much superior to those of its predecessor. On the flip side, however, the characters lacked depth and the overall plot was much too similar to really distinguish itself from the original. In summation, I thought that this should have been a much better film and for that reason I rate it as just slightly above average.

loganholley I'm going to begin this review like every other review I've written in this year and past that (b/c I'm quite lazy): Tron Legacy is an... interesting film.I'm not some kiddie that grew up with the original Tron, so I rented and watched it prior to seeing this in theaters back in 2010. While age has not been all too polite to the original Tron, there's always the new movie... right? Eh, maybe.I am a sucker for just about anything as long as it's got good visuals, an intriguing story, and great characters to back it... and I hate to say it, by TL only got PART of that right. It's CG work is excellent, and the action scenes are really well shot. On top of this, the acting (while not top-notch) is decent in most regards. To top this cake off, the soundtrack... is awesome. I don't usually care about soundtracks in movies, but this one stood out to me quite a bit more than that of many movie soundtracks that reuse the same songs you've already heard on the radio about a bazillion times.While all that is nice and kind... I believe there's something MISSING from that previous paragraph that I said would make me a sucker for just about anything... oh, yeah, I remember now! The compelling story and intriguing cast of characters! The story itself isn't awful by any means, and starts out quite well... but as the movie goes on, I found it less and less compelling than it SHOULD be. The characters aren't that well written, either. I never felt I really cared for any of the characters and the things they do because they all felt flat to me, missing any type of PROPER motivations and/or characterizations.All in all, I think about the best way to describe Tron: Legacy is this: A cardboard-cutout in a store that looks and sounds more amazing than many other cardboard-cutouts... but that's all it is: a cardboard-cutout. It looks and sounds amazing, but it's nothing really more than that.
