Tron: Legacy


Although I have not seen the first movie Tron, I was still interested in it's sequel, Legacy.  While sitting through the two hour movie, I found the plot to be hard to follow at times.  The beginning was set up well, and it was easy to follow, but by the time Sam entered the Grid (the virtual reality world) and met his father, things got confusing fast.  Sure, the general motive of them escaping was evident, but the other things invovling Clu and Rinzler were not explained as well.  I liked the light up effect the world of Tron has, from the buildings to the suits, for some reason, it gives off a really futuristic and sci-fi feel that's unlike the real world.  Sadly, the style of fighting that was preferred was very lame.  The characters fight using light up discs and throwing it around like it's some kind of discus.  Now, that in itself isn't too bad, but when you combine it with some fancy body flips it just looks lame and impractical.  The light cycle match wasn't too bad, and it evokes the game that it was based off.  I was impressed with the special effects, as practically the whole world (i.e. everything apart from the actors) was computer generated.  The aesthetics were pleasing.  The music used suited the tone of what was happening onscreen.  There were many parts where the movie was boring or not very good, but there were other parts where I thought that they contained an excellent concept... just that it wasn't executed to it's full potential.
