Just perfect...

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Call it thin or generic Disney plot, at the end, it is nice film, with great visuals, Jeff Bridges who can deliver even the cheesiest line sovereignly, or the killer soundtrack. It was my criticism back when it came out, that it could have been so much better. Thing is though, it probably wouldn't have made its money being "too gritty" or "too complicated". It's the hard truth after all; those types rarely receive the commercial success it needs to spend the money. But times changed (a bit). I'd love for it to be a Netflix/HBO series maybe. Wouldn't that be something?Anyway, i can still enjoy it now more than 7 years ago. I'm just grateful we got one, i guess. Seeing as a 3rd is out of question, at least for now, here's to hoping they do explore what is an original and fascinating universe at one point before i die (or the planet). It would be shame if it went to waste.

Tron: Legacy is a 2010 Sci-Fi Action film directed by Joseph Kosinski. It stars Jeff Bridges, Olivia Wilde, and Garrett Hedlund. The film was produced and distributed by Disney and is the sequel to my personal favorite movie and have seen this on opening weekend. Is this movie any better or worse? Well, I'm here to tell you what I think.Legacy shows Sam Flynn, given up trying to find his long-lost dad, Kevin (Jeff Bridges). He now annually sabotages his father's former company and later receives a message from his guardian Alan that came from Flynn's Arcade that hasn't operated since his disappearance. Suddenly, Sam finds himself in his father's world of the grid and embarks on a quest to find him again.The characters of Legacy are somewhat hit and miss. Sam doesn't really follow in the protagonist role as good as Jeff Bridges did 30 years before. Speaking of, Jeff does gives the greatest dual role in the film as Kevin/CLU and serves as a reminder how great his acting talents are. Olivia Wilde also gives a pretty good performance as Quorra as well.I like a whole lot about this film. It takes the world of Tron previously seen 30 years ago and gives it an incredible and entirely new feel without straying too far from its established nature. The soundtrack is nothing short of amazing being composed by French Electronic duo Daft Punk. The story may fall a little short but the pacing is alright and I would say is better than the first one. Plus the visual effects are mostly hit and some miss being Clu's CGI face, which I will commend for not being noticeable half the time.Legacy includes themes of Father/Son/Daughter relationships, Betrayal, Religion, Genocide, and Technology. Yes, I am describing a Disney movie. Kevin's relationship with CLU doesn't feel entirely fleshed out but enough to understand that CLU was like a brother to Kevin and basically becomes Hitler shown in his speech later in the film. Kevin was God of the grid and lost himself with his son, his other creation, and his world and takes it back in spectacular fashion at the end of the film.Tron: Legacy did well at the box office, but not enough to set Disney's plans to become a multimedia franchise like they had hoped. And since Disney bought out Marvel films and Star Wars, it will be a while until we get another installment. Luckily, this film has the cult following it deserves and lives on.Overall, I give Tron: Legacy a… 7/10

Personally, I give it a 10. I know I might even be overrating it, still, but I LOVE this movie, even though there are some things clearly wrong with it - the characters and dialogue aren't exactly revelations. You've seen them before. Personally, I hated the dryness and neediness of "female warrior" Quorra - otherwise, they're relatively harmless, which is the problem. You might as well call them cutouts, though Jeff Bridges is an absolute JOY to watch.The plots a little vague as well - half the time (on the 1st watch) you don't really know why things are or what, but it's MUCH easier to follow than it's predecessor.But what the film does great, it does AMAZINGLY. The visuals are overwhelmingly unique, gorgeous, and atmospheric, the soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard, and they work together very well. The SPX are great, the sets are great - even when we're not in the grid, the city is beautifully portrayed. This was a very well-made, very attractive film, and not in a Hollywood sort of way where the "animation" is good or the "CG is nice." No.I was aware that this was a Disney film when I started watching this - that was part of the reason why I was so uninterested in it at first. It was in the middle of a lot of Disney flops at the time, though when I finally saw it, I was blown away. Pleasantly surprised - it has a darker, colder tone to it, more mature every other Disney movie - even feeling almost like a stylish indie at times. Again - this film isn't genius. It's not great, technically as a film, but turned out to be a personal favorite of mine and is destined to be a classic just like the original with it's unique tone, visuals, and soundtrack. GODDAMN THAT SOUNDTRACK. Watch this to know for sure for yourself - it's understandable if you don't like it, it really is. But if you enjoy it - then you probably will REALLY enjoy it. It's an experience.

I was asked why I hold this film in such high regard and why I award it the highest rating. The original Tron was landmark for the 1980's; an experience that invested on style over substance in the most harmless way. It acknowledged its tongue-in-cheek nature, embraced the playfulness and revolutionarily endeavoured into the real world vs. virtual reality.Almost 30 years later, Legacy follows up with the same attitude (perhaps a more serious one) and ends up delivering exactly what it is set up to accomplish: a well-rounded update to cannon, amazing visuals, impeccable cinematography and a memorable score by Daft Punk. As you are led along from one lush virtual environment to another you realise just how baffling, confusing, nonsensical and plain the whole story is. What's more important is that you, pardon, I, don't care. The reason why Tron Legacy works so amazingly well for me and other cult followers who have seen both films (in my case Legacy) more times than it is sane to admit is because this is the epitome of what cinema can give you in terms of subjective escapism, i.e. guilty pleasure. I could see true passion, devotion and effort from Kosinski, as devout fanboy himself, to elaborate and deepen an iconic and far-fetched world he grew up with. He embraced its foundations and their absurdities and expanded them in a coherent and more importantly, unpretentious way. Call it a vanity fair, a playground for computer programmers and geeks, or just a hollow harmless adventure, Legacy IS a joyride, from beginning to end, and its flaws don't harm the whole. Could the flaws be corrected to amount to a better film? They most certainly could. The philosophical, esoteric and even metaphorical themes that the film touches upon, but never really develops are precisely the fine line between playfulness and pretentiousness that Kosinski thankfully never crosses. He might in an eventual sequel; if it does happen, let us hope that he, or whomever succeeds deliver such a fun, careless, exuberant and lavish experience. If it doesn't I'm incredibly satisfied with I've got.
