    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Tron: Legacy' is celebrated for its breathtaking visuals, innovative special effects, and immersive 3D experience. The Daft Punk soundtrack enhances the film's atmosphere, receiving widespread acclaim. However, the plot is criticized for being predictable, shallow, and clichéd. Characters are often seen as underdeveloped, and the narrative fails to match the visual grandeur. Disappointments arise from the original Tron character's portrayal and the father-son dynamic. Despite these issues, the film is appreciated for its nostalgic elements and universe expansion.

    An Underrated Gem

    Everything about this film works. The visuals, writing, acting, everything. There are very few wrong things I can find with Tron, especially the soundtrack which is timeless even almost a decade later. I still remember watching this film in theaters and not regretting it at all. I highly recommend this film for fans of anything quality.

    From the pacing to the cinematography this film is astoundingly well made, and truly deserves more recognition. It is timeless in every meaning of the word.

    Touching Spectacle

    It's not highly likely to win many new converts, but for those who already like the original and want to see more of that world, it more than satisfies. The visuals are a wonderful evolution from Tron and the story of a father and son who have to make up for lost time is very touching. The CGI face they developed for Jeff Bridges is not perfect, but it works very well with just a few exceptions and I feel, for my own tastes, that they have actually bridged the uncanny valley with this one. Still a bit of work to get it perfect, but this one works as it is. Oh, and the score by Daft Punk is beautiful. The first thing my brother and I did after leaving the theater was buy the sound track on the way home. It's very suggestive of the original but with plenty of today's newer sensibilities mixed in.

    Surprisingly enjoyable

    I actually wasn't expecting to enjoy TRON:Legacy, but coming from someone who is fond of the original 1982 film, I did. TRON:Legacy isn't a perfect movie though, then again neither was the original movie. The film thematically is deeper than the original, but there are some parts where it comes across as rather formulaic for my tastes. Also while the characters are likable, they aren't given that much depth, and again while the dialogue is intriguing at most some of it is weak and dare I say stilted.

    That said, TRON:Legacy has a lot to redeem it. Jeff Bridges is great and Garett Hedlund is likable, but when it comes to the acting the film is stolen by a gleefully enjoyable Michael Sheen and a wonderfully edgy Olivia Wilde. The action sequences and chases are very exciting, and help keep the momentum of the pace and story going, and the soundtrack is just fantastic. But the real revelation is in the film's look. The film looks amazing and one of the most visually stylish films of the year- I just loved the cinematography and editing and the special effects and use of neons are outstanding.

    In conclusion, a surprisingly enjoyable film that I wasn't expecting to like. 7/10 Bethany Cox

    Style over substance

    This film is the best example of "style over substance", but wow, what substance. It has some of the best production design and soundtrack I have ever witnessed. Visually and aurally speaking, I would even call it a masterpiece. It is like no other techno-futuristic cyberspace I have ever seen depicted. However, it is let down by a dull main actor and an unpolished story that didn't fully convince me.

    Too underrated

    While the performance delivered by the son in this movie might not be Oscar-worthy, the allure of this film does not rely heavily on its acting prowess. It lies in the striking and ground-breaking visuals, accompanied by the captivating music score that is truly an auditory treat. The avant-garde aesthetic elements are profoundly impressive, pushing the boundaries and setting the film ahead of its time.

    This cinematic production is a feast for the eyes and ears, immersing you in an experience that is sure to leave you in awe. The bold and imaginative visuals coupled with the profoundly moving soundtrack create a mesmerizing amalgamation of sight and sound. This movie transcends beyond the realm of conventional storytelling, offering an immersive and captivating spectacle that tantalizes the senses.

    What sets this movie apart is its simplicity in terms of plot. It does not delve into a complex narrative or convoluted character development; rather, it revolves around the concept of visual and auditory satisfaction. It's an experience that encourages audiences to sit back, relax, and simply absorb the breathtaking visuals and mesmerizing music. It's a unique approach that breaks away from the typical expectations of what constitutes a movie, redefining it as a symphony of artistry that takes place on the silver screen. This movie is not just a film-it's a spectacle that stimulates and soothes, a true pleasure to watch.

    • Trivia
      The crowd voices during the disk battle in the beginning of the movie are actually the voices of the audience during the panel for the film at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con. The audience was instructed to stomp and chant to prompts shown on the large video screen, and the sound was recorded by techs from Skywalker Sound.
    • Goofs
      Flynn's Arcade was supposedly locked up when Kevin Flynn disappeared in 1989. However when Sam is walking through the arcade, one of the machines is Mortal Kombat (1992) which was not released until 1992.

    • Crazy credits
      At the beginning of the movie, the title only says "TRON". Not until during the ending credits does the name "Legacy" get included in the title when it reappears.
