Tron: Legacy

Ratings: 8.4/10
Film Class: A
Genre: Sci-Fi

Terrific! Revolutionary! Outstanding! No Joke!! 4 simple words to describe Tron: Legacy (maybe 5). Never knew there was a prequel until I started browsing through imdb about it. Watching the trailer for the earlier film really tickled me, tough to fathom how revolutionary it was back then... but today, at this very present moment, Tron: Legacy really brings the genre of Sci-Fi three notches higher.

What appealed to me were the neon lights and how it was so prominently prevalent throughout the entire movie. The movie delivered more than what was featured in the trailer (which isn't always the case for critically acclaimed movies), the only complain I have of that movie is that it's a little technical... or a little too abstract for the layman to understand. The concept of the Grid, and the "imperfect perfection" still confuses me till now.

There's quite a deep storyline behind the movie, which won extra popcorn points in my heart because it wasn't just your mediocre gimmicky movie with exceptional CG... almost tipping over to the artistic scale.

The ending was a little far-fetched but forgiving since this movie in itself isn't that realistic in the first place. Casting wasn't perfect, and because of that, veteran actor Jeff Bridges stole the limelight. This movie has really opened a new light to movie productions and has indefinitely opened my eyes to the endless possibilies of what movies could potentially deliver to its audiences. Tron has truly left a legacy... and from the looks of it, a sequel looks promising.
