TRON Legacy short review and discussion

Since I just saw this movie and had very positive thoughts walking out of the theatre, I decided to write a concise review on TRON: Legacy.

I went into the movie today with a few buds with very low expectations as I never saw the first Tron; it was out way before I was even born :P Because I saw the IMAX 3D presentation, my ticket was a whopping $14 dollars! Now I was hoping to get some value and that I did. The movie was simply a technical marvel, both visually and musically. From the moment the movie begins, it immediately tries to immerse you with it's powerful soundtrack and background story of the universe. One of my favorite scenes was at the beginning when Sam is riding his Ducati Sport-1000, weaving through the highway traffic at over 100 mph, and the scene immediately straps you in for a damn fun ride.

As far as the acting goes, everybody played their character to their best ability including Garrett Hedlund as Sam Flynn, Olivia Wilde as Quora, and Jeff Bridges as Sam's dad, Kevin. The lightcycle scene was quite an exhilerating experience as were many of the fight scenes, despite the PG rating. Did I mention how beautiful Olivia Wilde as Quora was? She was just as, if not more, impressive than the movie visuals themselves! Daft Punk also did an amazing job with the soundtrack and it fit perfectly with all the scenes to enhance them to maximum effect.

The movie also brings up some interesting themes including religion and creationism that made me start thinking, but that's a whole nother topic in itself lol.

Overall an amazing film! Don't expect it to be a masterpiece film in the IMDB top 250 of all time of something, but more of a piece of art. You have to appreciate the movie for what it is. 9/10

my thoughts:

visuals-amazing (on par with Avatar)

music-really good

acting- decent overall (Jeff Bridges is awesome and Wilde is hot, those two save the movie)

story/script-terrible

7.5/10

It was very scary!!t3hrubikscube

Stupid dialogue, no stand out performances, and a predictable story oh yeah and that last fight.... were are all hoorible

It was nicely directed, like when the main character fought those people with his disk. And the visuals were incredible.

I couldn't possibly give you a good review, I fell asleep halfway through it and missed half the plot.

[QUOTE="-RocBoys9489-"][QUOTE="t3hrubikscube"] 19!! :(t3hrubikscube

Great visuals, average everything else. Isn't that how it works in Hollywood? :( I saw it at IMAX with free tickets. It would cost at least $20 (au) biggest_loser

Saw it twice last week, and in terms of music the 2nd time I saw it I walked out right after the club scene. Yeah I wanted to hear that track on that sound system with the mindblowing bass again that badly and it was worth it. Nuff said.

[QUOTE="t3hrubikscube"][QUOTE="-RocBoys9489-"] How was it scary! Especially with Olivia Wilde's face all over the screen!-RocBoys9489-

Daft Punk did an awesome job on the soundtrack.Mafiree

LOVED the movie, I'm a HUGE Jeff Bridges fan.

I saw it in 3D and there was absolutely nothing 3D about it. I wanted to touch Olivia Wilde =[, thus, I am disappoint.

FREAKING AMAZING!!!!

It was an all right movie, really bogged down in the middle for about 30 minutes, but the music and sound just put it over the top into extreme fun zone lol.

Great movie, a lot of fun, and visually awesome without looking like some CGI cartoon like many movies do now.

What about Clu?

I think the movie is horrible. Easily the worst movie I saw this year (Elf doesn't count because I only resisted for the first half). At least the girl in white was hot.

It's worth seeing for the visuals and music. The story isn't good, but it didn't bother me too much.

And Olivia Wilde is freakin hot :P

I thought Clu was well done, at least given how similiar CGI characters (specifically, "Arnold" in Terminator 4) looked in the past.

And I thought the girl in white was Lindsey Lohan for half the time lol.
