The son of a virtual world designer goes looking for his father and ends up inside the digital world that his father designed. He meets his father's corrupted creation and a unique ally who was born inside the digital world (www.imdb.com).
Director: Joseph Kosinski (Oblivion)
Starring: Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde
With Tron: Legacy looking gorgeous and Daft Punk providing an excellent soundtrack, what more could you ask for? Quite a bit actually. This remake has the guts of a mighty blockbuster, but that's all a facade, as it lacks emotional connection and raw power. Beautiful on the outside and tasteless on the inside. Legacy will appease the fans of the original and gains a few more with its unique look. A completely new story has been created that does little to offend the 1982 version. The story is most interesting and pleasurable when Sam (Hedlund) discovers his father's digital world. Feelings of wonder and excitement gather. The games he's forced in to are energetic and hold no bars. T:L takes a backwards turn when Sam meets Clu (Bridges) and his father (also Bridges). The younger, AI copy of Bridges looks computer generated, but it does match the world they're in. Olivia Wilde's digital-born Quorra brings life to a regimented world. Bridges, on the other hand, struggles to live up to Legacy's looks.
3/5
