TRON: Legacy


Synopsis: While investigating the mysterious disappearance of his father, Kevin (Jeff Bridges), techie Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) lands in a beguiling computerized world of enslaved gladiators, where his dad has been living for the past 25 years. Joined by Kevin's trusted friend (Olivia Wilde), the father and son must journey across a breathtaking -- and perilous -- cyberscape in this 21st-century update to the beloved 1982 sci-fi classic.  (This is from Netflix; I'm bad at writing summaries)

Thoughts: This was my first 3D movie so I can't compare the 3D graphics of this movie to those in others, but it didn't seem very 3D to me. Although I could have guessed that from the part in the beginning that said the film was mostly shot in 2D and the fact that live action movies typically aren't as 3D as animated ones. It's easier to convert to 3D with a CG film, so it's more effective that way. I never saw the first TRON, so I can't compare the films, but I did like the storyline. The acting was pretty good, but it did seem sort of dragged out as it kept going. I was falling asleep at the beginning in what was pretty much a wasted 20 minute scene of Kevin playing a prank on his father's company (Encom), but it did pick up after a while. The fight scenes were nice and not dragged out. I didn't notice any plot holes which is always nice because plot holes really bother me even if they're only little things.

I give it a: 7/10

  1. "The fight scenes were nice" haha. You've never seen a 3D movie before? Melissa said she was kind of disappointed in Tron, but I didn't see it.

  2. Ack! You stalked me xD
    Yeah it was the first time I saw a 3D movie. I saw it again last night too. It's not like I was really expecting much from it so I couldn't really be disappointed.
