This film is the sequel to the Disney original film TRON. Sam Flynn, the son of Encom's founder Kevin Flynn, has spent his life not achieving much after his father's mysterious disappearance. One night Alan Bradley, Kevin Flynn's friend, receives a strange page from his father's old arcade. Sam decides to investigate the source of the page. Sam finds himself digitally placed into the world of the arcade game TRON. In this world he meets all the characters that his father told him in stories as a young child, Clu, Tron, and meets a new friend named Quorra. Sam's one chance of escape is through the distant portal before it closes.
This film was directed by Joseph Kosinski, as his first major film. The original was loved for its tribute to science fiction, and dazzling specials effects created for an 1982 film. However, the downfalls of the original were its lack of story and heartfelt characters. This sequel sought to solve the problems of the original, but maintain the dazzling special effects of the original. Both pushed the boundaries of which computers are capable in various ways. As an audience we've become spoiled by story and special effects. When I saw this in IMAX 3D-I was no different. I enjoyed the effects of making Jeff Bridges appears as his old age from the old film. In IMAX 3D the technology, being new, still had a few small bugs that made his face look like rubber most of the time. A lot of the effects are great, and for can become overpowering if that's all you focus on. It is visually lovely, but it's all done in tones of orange, white, blue, and light green. It creates another world full of adventure, and hidden treasures. The interesting part is how close most of the technology is to becoming real. The story is highly unique, but a lot of it lies in technology and philosophical thought. There is a lot subtle tribute given to the original TRON. The techno music was great creating the feel of the world. The costumes were also well done, but I felt bad for Beau Garrett, Gem. Her costume was so tight that she had trouble breathing most of the time.
Garrett Hedlund, Sam Flynn, was great in his hellion role. He creates a character that is uses his intelligence to outsmart his enemies, and does not fight against them without using it. It is interesting to see a nerdy character being the action hero in modern cinema. Jeff Bridges, played multiple roles, Kevin Flynn and Clu. When he's Kevin Flynn there are moments of 'The Dude' character from The Big Lebowski being full of zen. He's good in hi role creating a character with heart and a strange understanding of this computer world around him. As Clu he's great being the sympathetic villain. Olivia Wilde, Quorra, become well known to popular film audience's in this film. She showed she could hold her own in an action film with talented actors. Michael Sheen, Castor, was a unique insanity. The more guilt he felt the more he amplified his insanity-which was a great touch.
I give this film a 5 out of 5 stars! It's a great film that solves the problems of the original TRON film, and is a great film to enjoy. It's visually unique, and musically fun.
