Tron: The Legacy

Rating **1/2

Movie Review: Tron: The Legacy This Walt Disney film is a sequel to Tron,about a video game creator who finds a way to enter the “grid” himself. That out of the way,brace yourself to wrap your tongues and your brains around “sea of simulation”,“digital DNA”,“genetic algorithm”; about the “grid” that accommodates programmes with brains and “users” too; that can be shut out at the click of a button,but inside can imagine anything into anything; that was once made by a guy who now dresses in robes and meditates and takes time out to be “one with the sky”; that has clouds but no sun,that has some kind of plant and at least pigs as food; and apparently oxygen for everyone to fight and be merry; that has endless supplies of power to keep it all lit up and gleaming; books for those who are interested; but where people do little anyway but fight – it’s all after all a video game isn’t it?

Plus,more than two hours into Tron: Legacy,you would still be trying to wrack your brains to try and figure out what fits in and where. If at all.

Bridges looks reasonably interested,even for a man who fights in robes and a lit hood,and his son Sam is well played by Garrett Hutland as an impressionable son and a questioning adult. Sam has also managed to come out reasonably unscathed from the 20-year-old mystery about his father,who went one day to work and never returned.

Olivia Wilde provides a distraction in was more than one – according to Bridges’s Kevin Flynn,she is the “miracle” that was born when the outside world met digital,created of her own accord. Another thought to ponder over.
