Rating : 2.5/5
Tron : Leagacy, a sequel to the original Tron that released way back in the early eighties.......though i haven't watched the original,but i must say the effects r surely better....
Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges),the head of a software company called ENCOM and also the creator of the Grid, a digital world disappears mysteriously and 20 years later,his son Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund,of Troy,Four Brothers & Eragon fame) is still haunted by his disappearance.one day,on the receipt of a message from his father,Sam visits his father's arcade and and he finds a secret underground lab which belonged to his dad.....
typing in some commands, Sam is suddenly transported into the so-called Grid...where he captured and is dressed up into Light suits,with coloured highlights and is given disc which stores information and serves as a potential battle weapon.....he is then pitted to fight against many opponents called programs....eventually he is brought in front of the so-called ruler,a man named Clu (Jeff Bridges) who looks just like Sam's dad,but he claims not to be....then after a gruelling Light Cycle (wish i had one,ultra-cool) matches,Sam is reunited with his dad with the help of Quorra (Olivia Wilde).....
Kevin, then revels to Sam about the Grid and how it was created by 3 people- Kevin,Clu & Tron.....and that the portal to the outside world only stays open for a while,and about the evil plans of Clu......Sam,Kevin and Quorra then make a getaway for the portal before it's closure,with Clu and his Army at their heels.......
First off,don't go for the Legacy with a bag full of expectations,keep that bag a little lighter (better off,keep that bag at home)....though its just a 2 hr flick,it gets to you many a times....with the scenes shifting from a lot of light to a lot of darkness.......and the 3D part of it is the worst.....they even mention before the movie starts-some scenes have been shot in 2D,but keep ur glasses on from the start itself.....and it gets darker with the glasses on.......
acting department,Jeff bridges is nothing great...but his other half,Clu (also played by Jeff Bridges) is good.....Garrett Hedlund as Sam,a young guy is pleasant and not irritating like other young guys on the block....
the best part-Olivia Wilde,she looks stunning........ravishing.......Michael Sheen (from Frost/Nixon,Twilight fame)also plays a small role in the movie and he is plays a crazy character.....
the light suits are great ....excellent design...with every character having different coloured suits...the Clu's army,with all the soldiers in the orange coloured suits is a great scene......the light cycles are a treat,excellent concept and i still wish i had one of those.......but they appear only during first half .....
the first half contains all the best sequences,the cycles ,the disc fights and the story.......
the second half is the weak point of the movie.....the story goes haywire....the only sequence that keeps u engaged here is the bar fight scene wherein Michael Sheen's character makes a appearance!!!!!
Watch it in 2D,if u can and save the money on the glasses ....or contact me i will give u mine for free........
Tip: watching animation movies in 3D is far better, i think ;-)
