Tron: Legacy is truly a gem of a movie and milestone in CGI history. It takes the spirit from the first movie and adds updated and mesmerizing visuals that make the old Tron look like a rusty, unfinished Atari game. The storyline plays well from the original and the casting was spot on with pin point precision. Michael Sheen wasn't in this film for too long but he made a dazzling mark on the screen when it was finally his time to shine. His energetic and sporadically induced character made you hate and love him at the same time and actually gave Jeff Bridges a run for his money.
Storyline: Kevin Flynn left his son Sam at a young age and due to his absence his son became a ravishing rebel teetering on the brink of the walls of his dad's flourishing and once highly respected company. After sabotaging the company's plan to oust out the idea of selling their new operating system for free Sam later finds out from his dad's old friend Alan that he was paged from his father's office that's been disconnected for 20 years.
Sam goes to his dad's office only to find a hidden door built behind a TRON arcade game. Once in the room Sam finds a grimy looking desk that has gathered dust over the years. He wipes off the desk to reveal a touch screen keyboard and a few present menus. While trying to crack the password a machine activates behind him and shoots him into cyberspace where he then ends up knee deep in the gorgeous landscape that is his dad's very own virtual silicon valley.
Sam is picked up by an already familiar vehicle and is chosen to play in the games with his own said objective to be survival. Once a cut on his arm proves his validation of being a user he is taken to a mystery figure that Sam mistakes for his dad. The impostor is none other than his dad's generated partner Clu who is convinced that with his father's data disc that he can enter the human world and rid it of his imperfections.
Thoughts: Tron: Legacy did an amazing job of keeping you interested throughout the whole time length of the movie. Sure, near the end the dialogue lost some of it's chug and the young Kevin Flynn at the beginning of the movie wasn't realistically convincing enough to pass for the 1982 appearance of Jeff Bridges but the visuals and art direction were more than enough to balance out this ferocious and anticipated marvel.
Rating: 8/10
Final Words: Lovers of the original seemed to enjoy this one to a great extent so if you're a proud follower or just person looking for mind numbing visuals then this should most definitely be on your holiday to do list.
