Tron Legacy
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 digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant Quorra (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey of escape across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.
From the first time we set our eyes on the gorgeous teaser, we were blown away that the sequel to Tron is finally happening after 20 years. Now 2 years later and the film is now here, is the wait really worth it? Probably not. The problems that were addressed in the original Tron film is still applied in this: the lack of interesting and engaging story, not many cool characters and the terribly slow pacing. And despite the film is ACTUALLY named after the hero character in the first film, that character has been brought onto the sideline and doesn't get that much screen-time. The visuals are very pleasing to the eye, the action sequences are pretty cool and the score by Daft Punk kept the film rolling, saving it from becoming that stinker of a movie. Like Avatar, its a nice and pretty firework show, but its very hallow, empty and unfortunately boring for the majority of the film.
2 and a half out of 5 stars
