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 its all after all a video game isnt 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 Bridgess 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.
