But things stall after father and son come face-to-face, reverting to yet another tired world-domination plot, spearheaded by power-hungry Clu.Ī laid-back Bridges does double-duty here, playing both Kevin (who looks like a space-age Rasputin in his long white robes) and Clu, who returns the actor to his younger form via unconvincingly rendered facial performance-capture. After all, what 21st-century partner or parent can’t relate to the idea of the men in their life preferring to live in the parallel world offered by their videogames? That’s effectively the explanation “ Tron: Legacy” offers for Kevin Flynn’s long-ago disappearance: He became so obsessed with his cyber Second Life that he would visit it every night, until his most perfect program, Clu, got the upper hand and trapped him there. Scribes Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz (from a story written with Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal) try to supply a much-needed dramatic dimension by reuniting Sam with his long-lost father, which should have given the programmatic plot more of an emotional resonance.
TRON LEGACY FULL MOVIE MEGASHARE SERIES
Using 3D the way “The Wizard of Oz” did color, the film hits its pulse-racing heights early as Sam tries to intuit the rules of this virtual world while being stripped down, suited up and thrust into a series of dazzling life-and-death games involving neon-lit discs and DayGlo Light Cycles, while leaving the story nowhere to go but home, Dorothy. Instead, under the sometime supervision of Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner, downgraded from the title character in Version 1.0 to cameo status here), the trust-fund orphan gets his kicks racing cops on his Ducati and pulling stunts that undermine the profit-hungry motives of dad’s old company, where suits (Jeffrey Nordling and an uncredited Cillian Murphy) now run the show.ĭrawn back to Flynn’s arcade, Sam discovers a secret lab, where a laser zaps him onto “the grid” - a fully CG arena where programs take human form and genuine humans hold hallowed status.
TRON LEGACY FULL MOVIE MEGASHARE SOFTWARE
The son of ultra-successful software engineer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), who disappeared into his own creation nearly 20 years earlier, Sam shares none of his father’s high-tech interests.
And though the world is a friendlier place to gamers today than it was when Disney first beta-tested this franchise, the new film’s four writers play it safe by conceiving their protag as the ultimate anti-nerd, a young Bruce Wayne type embodied by the generically handsome Garrett Hedlund (“Troy”). That old-vs.-new paradox traces back to the original, which framed a wooden gladiator-style conflict against the backdrop of borderline-psychedelic, never-before-seen CGI.
