Are you going to enjoy Tron Legacy film ? It's a Tedious, Boring and Incomplete Neon Nonsense

By Todd Weller

Walt Disney took an hazard to continue a series almost 3 decades later rather than going for the easy choice of reimagining it.

Where to commence? Tron Legacy is an optical feast for your eyes and an auditive delight thanks to Daft Punk and Joseph Trapanese. The soundtrack feels nearly celestial and fits properly with this brand-new world we have been introduced to for the first time.

What the flick makes up for in outstanding vision, it lacks in storyline. Maybe I should have watched the 1982 version as so many folks have commented to me but even without it, the plot appears a little disjointed. The unspoken connections to the real world are a lot such as The Holocaust, God complexes, evil doppelgangers and more. You are left with several interrogatives than responses as it is never unveiled just what it is about this world that would change every thing in the real world.

Saw it in 3D which was a mixed blessing, as the movie is so darkly lit that the tint in the glasses made many scenes really muddy and hard to see. Far from being a CGI spectacular, Tron is monotonous in every element : the colors, the script, the tone, psychological content. The fact that many characters are versions of Jeff Bridges is ironic, and stands for the entire one-note film. It bangs its strident pace approximately 3 mins in and sticks with it throughout. Everyone shouts everything and none of it means anything.

The plot is utter tosh which ticks staid little plot-boxes and advances swiftly before it can be studied for any evidence of creative content. There is none; it´s depressingly old hat. Like the 1st movie, you get the belief the only aim of making Tron Legacy was to demonstrate the bike-racing but with meliorated CGI. And, like the earliest movie, the dullness and confusion of those scenes in cannot be overstated.

Jeff Bridges tweets in his habitual old hippie routine - the Big Lebowski meets Robocop. He has bare feet! How very Zen! Everyone else in the film is too unreal to review.

There´s no tension, no sense of threat, and the consistent uniforms make telling the goodies from the baddies a distinction not worth annoying with. Even the big Tron ´reveal´ is a joke of Stig-like proportions, as he never takes his helmet off, so who the hell acknowledges WHO he is? I would pick the plot apart, but fear I may spend more effort than the makers did in putting it together - which is not saying much.

Halfway through this movie I left my buddies and went to get a coffee, just for something to do. I find it hard to imagine anyone could write a spoiler for this movie more damaging than the screenwriters already have.
