Disney's TRON: LEGACY Movie Review

Seems that people interested in Tron: Legacy are less interested in the actors and acting and the plot than they are in the 'eye candy' or the special effects. Anyone who loves the latest in gadgetry is likely to love Tron. In this story, Sam Flynn discovers the secret workshop of his long lost father and finds himself in a computerized world run by a computer program named Clu who is his dad's clone. In an effort to find his real father, he must fight in video games.

I notice an interesting divide. Expert or professional reviewers do not give Tron top marks...but average viewers, like you and I, are more likely to say it was fun. The plot definitely isn't deep, but then again it isn't really supposed to be. The effects are amazing. I enjoyed all of the acting and the ride. This is as close as I will ever come to living on the grid.

In my opinion Tron is a lightweight but enjoyable movie, perhaps cooler than it is smart. If you like cool stuff, you'll like the facemasks, outfits, light-cycles. And, as Bret Fetzer of Amazon says, "Let's be honest, it's all about the light-cycles. That's what the audience for Tron wants, and that's what Tron: Legacy delivers."

I found some amazing Amazon customer reviews, and encourage you to check them out for yourself. You will find comments like this is a sequel that doesn't let you down from James A. Zimmer and Justin Scott's that this movie really worked for him. Scott highly praised the "mind blowing FX and CGI, outstanding stunts and choreography, insane soundtrack and music that actually enhances the movie experience...the very touching and human story about the strive for perfection" and also mentioned that, as a fan of the original Tron, this movie made him long for the old days of arcades and simpler times.

If you are considering buying this movie, I highly recommend checking out the Amazon customer reviews, which you can do by clicking right here.

Tron is rated PG for sequences of sci-fi action violence and brief mild language and The Movie Mom recommends it for children of middle school age. Commonsense Media recommends it for children aged 10 and up. There is violence and death although it is softened somewhat by the fact that players shatter rather than bleed but those scenes could still could be disturbing. Cursing includes words like damn it and stupid and sexuality is present in the form of female characthers wearing second-skin uniforms and stilettos.
