stunning visuals ... lack lustre plot
Just to get this out-of-the-way …
SPOILER ALERT!!!
If you haven’t seen the movie and are planning to then please don’t read on as I won’t be held responsible for ruining the film for you.
28 years in the making, Tron Legacy has seen CGI in movies shift from the occasional eyebrow raising addition to a mainstream technique powering entire films.
Given that the CGI element was core to the original film’s appeal (despite the majority of the movie owing more to creative set building and old school post production than computer imagery) Tron Legacy has a major void to fill.
We’re used to Transformers-esque epic CGI these days. Heck most of the top grossing films of the past decade have made extensive use of CGI technology to bring their worlds to life.
Not forgetting that, for a host of geeks, nerds and 80′s generation kids, Tron holds a special place in our hearts. The original film invokes fond memories and has a cult following that makes the reboot approach so very very risky. Get it wrong and Disney risk bringing the wrath of a host of Tron Lovers down on their heads.
So what does Tron Legacy bring the table that makes it worth watching?
