I hated this movie when I saw it at the theatre. I liked it when I bought one more ticket a week later. I loved it when I re-watched it again yesterday.
The reason was, as it often is, mismatched expectations. The plot here was clearly written in BASIC with a lot of GO TO statements, and the actors feel as incompatible as various 8-bit platforms of the early 1980s. Someone once quipped, cynically, that the legacy of Tron: Legacy was only two things: a) the soundtrack and b) Olivia Wilde’s haircut.
There’s, however, so much more. Tron’s virtual world, made of glass and neon, is beautiful, meticulous, and enthralling. The visuals, the sound editing, the soundtrack all make it…

I have a real soft spot for the original Tron. The story might be weak and the film has some major pacing issues but I can't fail but to be transported back to a time when I first saw the film and how it's pioneering visuals transfixed me as a child. Unfortunately the older I become the harder I find it to look beyond a films major failings and to just be transported to a fantastical place. It does happen sometimes, Speed Racer being a good example, but sadly, try as I might, I was unable to see Tron Legacy through the eyes of my seven year old self.
The film does get some things very well. The Daft Punk…

I can not even explain to you how much I love this movie. Sure, the young digital Jeff Bridges face is disgusting and the plot is god awful, but it's seriously one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. The lightcycle scene and Kevin Flynn's hideout are like my new porn. And don't even get me started on the soundtrack! Daft Punk have created a thing of beauty with that one. So turn off your brain and just enjoy the eye/eargasms.

Beyond its beautiful crystal clear neon construct this long awaited sequel really felt too hollow... but when this 3 star film with a clunky script bursts into glorious 1.78:1 full screen format and the Daft Punk soundtrack starts pumping through the 5.1 surround sound it all becomes very clear why I always end up watching this Blu ray again and again... Sorry neighbours.

When I first saw the shaky-cam YouTube video featuring 6,500 geeks roaring their guts out with delight and surprise as the TR2N (as it was then known) trailer unexpectedly played at the end of a Disney Comic-Con panel in 2008, I actually started crying. A deep nostalgic wound opened up - I remembered bunking off school to go and see Tron at the cinema with my dad. I remembered feeling hot tears when I accidently broke my replica light cycle in the playground. I remembered lying in bed at night, pulling my Tron duvet (which I still own) up around my ears as if trying to escape into its virtual world, while it muffled the sound of my parents arguing…

Admittedly, this is not a very well written film. In fact, it is pretty terrible in that sense. The film prevails in the visuals and sound (and also the 20 seconds of screen time of Daft Punk which is fucking high-five worthy). The concepts are very good as extra developments on what the original Tron produced. Joseph Kosinski is the main-stream Nicholas Winding Refn in the aspect that you are waiting for this great visual director to receive a good script because frankly he is 0 for 2 in that area.

Well, it appears 4th times a charm. My first 3 viewings of this film were that of boredom and with this 4th viewing I wasn't expecting anything to change, but it did, somewhat. I have acquired a small amount of respect for this film now, the visuals are fantastic, the soundtrack incredibly fitting and it is clear how much the makers of this film respected and loved the original. The film is certainly not perfect though, scenes can seem repetitive and those scenes lacking any action can be very dull (especially those before we enter the grid). Jeff Bridges' facial animation for Clu is terrifying, very waxy and quite horrific. Overall, not a perfect film but one which grows on you with every watch, Clu may be a thing of nightmare but Quorra is a thing of dreams.

Even though it is essentially a two hour daft punk video, i think i've come to enjoy it slighty more and more each time. But strictly on those terms.

Very pretty effects, decent story but the 3D is still not amazing.
