Tron: Legacy Movie Reviews

The girl (Olivia Wilde) is hot in a spunky sort of way (mandatory character for a fanboy fantasy). She loves Jules Verne, has read Tolstoy, is still a computer generated “program”, mentored under a human being (Bridges), they call “user” (make that “loser”) in this digital universe. This rare human contact’s made her curious of what earth’s like. “What’s sunlight like?” she asks her mentor’s son (Garett Hudland). The young man ponders for a second

Imagine if the worst fears of the video-games-are-vile lobbyists come true? Imagine if kids who are addicted to the joystick have to bear the brunt of their playstation obsession? Imagine if they get sucked into the digital world of war and violence that they seem to be hooked on to on their screens? Tron will come true! Meet 27-year-old Sam Flynn who muses: ``The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information

In the odd event that you weren't around when Tron released in 1982, you would not have known that it attempted effects and concepts far ahead of its times. When I caught the Tron: Legacy preview, a few weeks ago, there was the promise of a singularly spectacular experience. The world of Tron the Grid, Tron City, the Outlands seemed like a mystery waiting to unfold. A few nights ago, it did. This is the story of Sam (Hedlund), heir

The first half hour of Tron: Legacy contains some of the most stunning visuals I’ve seen in a film since Avatar. Debutant director Joseph Kosinski gives us a quick recap of the events of the original 1982 film and then plunges us inside the digital world of The Grid, into which the genius programmer Kevin Flynn, played by Jeff Bridges, had disappeared twenty years ago. His son Sam, played by Garrett Hedlund, follows and we along with him

It is the day and age of 3D. And the special effects aren't only used in sci-fi thrillers, after all we've recently seen an Alice in Wonderland in 3D. But in a situation such as this where the sequel has come out after 28 years, 3D may have been a good choice for the makers especially when the original was not just a blockbuster but also ground breaking and trend setting in many ways. Garrett Hedlund plays the role of Sam, the grown son up of Kevin

Following Ed Dillinger’s ouster as CEO, Kevin Flynn takes Encom Corporation to a whole new level. Swearing that programming can better the human condition, Flynn mysteriously vanishes in 1989. Sam Flynn (Hedlund) is a rebellious, irresponsible loner who has never really got over his father’s disappearance. After meeting Tron’s creator Alan Bradley (Boxleitner), Sam is whisked away to the grid which resembles a thriving subterranean megalopolis.

This Walt Disney film is a sequel to Tron, about a video game creator who finds a way to enter the “grid” himself. That out of the way, brace yourself to wrap your tongues and your brains around “sea of simulation”, “digital DNA”, “genetic algorithm”; about the “grid” that accommodates programmes with brains and “users” too; that can be shut out at the click of a button, but inside can imagine anything into anything

It took almost 28 years for this sequel to take shape and the result though visually masterful, doesn’t really bear testimony to the long and eager wait. Tron: Legacyisa digitised hi-tech adventure with 3D intrusions, basically taking off from where the original let off. It's been 25 years since Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) disappeared and his now grown-up, tech-savvy, 27 year old son, Sam Flynn (Garett Hedlund), who has all but forsaken his father's creation

Tron Legacy is all flash, but no pizzazz. The visual gimmickry works hard to create a virtual world that is hyper- neon, dizzying and spectacular in parts. But just because it’s about a geek trapped in a video game, is it a good enough excuse for the film to have no soul? Legacy follows 28 wasted years after the original cult film Tron (1982). Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) joins his dad Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) who has been trapped in a videogame

Tron: Legacy fails its legacy because of the weak story.
