  Surely one of the best-looking, best-sounding bad movies ever made.

  I can't believe Disney spent 170 million $ on a Daft Punk video.

  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…

  yeah ngl i miss that phase in the early 2010s when disney made really weird and ambitious and totally earnest shit like this as opposed to whatever the fuck is going on rn. this is a kids movie, but it’s crafted specifically to be the most badass kids movie out there, and you gotta love it

  you lose everything, your life and identity are changed without your knowledge, without you being able to process or impact it. the people you love are just gone, and one by one, they fade into dust, leaving you alone with all the emotions you never got closure for. you drift around aimlessly and without anyone human to keep you company, you lose the ability to hold onto relationships with anyone, preferring to remain isolated so the hurt can't take you again, so you can't go back to being that child waiting for his father to come home, not knowing that he never will. so find the grid and let it take you away, let it heal you. ride along the…

  My pick for an upcoming "movies we have an irrational affection for" episode of Movies Now and Then

  When I talk about Tron: Legacy, I often find myself jumping to the defensive, trying to respond to criticisms made against the film, but that's not what I want to do here. I'm a defensive guy and I can recognize that about myself, but I don't have any interest in explaining why the film's weaknesses don't bother me. Obviously they don't or I wouldn't be here watching it again for the second time in less than a month. I want to tell you why I love it.

  First and foremost, I love it because it is a beautiful audio-visual experience. It's easy…

  Review by Jamelle Bouie ★★½ 8

  If this movie were nothing but the Daft Punk score, the action sequences, and Jeff Bridges saying stuff like “It’s a digital frontier, man,” it would be a five star picture. As it is, the forgettable lead, blockbuster bloat and convoluted plot knock it down to merely OK. Still, the Tron aesthetic is so unique — and that score is so good — that this is still a compulsively watchable movie, even with its many flaws.
