honestly, though loving tron for many reasons I have to admit its naivety and of course its age. The original tron may be more than other movies connected to its time through its style. So what have we here now? Tron: Legacy picks us up where we were left: names, places, situations... and then the original idea evolves without really contradicting its origin. It feels plausible.
Several things has been done to please the fan, the knowing nerd maybe. Still this movie stands by itself. So nothing to be missed when being too young ;-) On the downside: if you love movies, you might have seen it all before. Stunts, perspectives, twists, attitudes... some movies are best enjoyed with a blank mind. So what? The more we know that harder we are to please...
Outstanding is the look&feel. Visuals are beautiful (if you like this cyber-style), Action is well executed and in some scenes nicely use what comes with that certain environment. Clearly a great decision was to have DaftPunk for the music. The rejuvenation did happen on all levels: Story, Design and Music! Several images even reveal that there was a certain awareness of social or political implication, though being rather irrelevant for such a movie. Not as strong as in Singer's x-men but enough to stick out.
Overall: This is more than simple eye-candy. ... and I wasn't this excited about watching a movie for a long time!
