TRON: Legacy

Before the Matrix, there was the Grid....and this one is a TRUE story set in present day Earth......psyche.... This is a great sci-fi flick which outdid its father-film Tron(1982). The 1982 version could not allow for all the visual effects that make "the Grid" so interesting and to see a more visually pleasing picture of what that world may look like made the movie more fun to watch. I have NOT seen it in 3D so I believe there is even more eye catching moments in store for those viewers. With todays technology, Tron: Legacy was a great decision for a sequel. I usually hate long overdue sequels due to a change in actors or a choppy storyline, but I felt the director, Joseph Kosinski, and writers, Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, completed the task successfully.

After the dissaperance of his father Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) as a kid, son Sam Flynn (Garret Hedlund) decides to go back to his father's business, Encom, and look for him. Digging deeper, Sam finds himself in "The Grid". He finds his father who has been living there for 2 decades and is trapped by Clu, Flynn's arch-nemesis, and escaping becomes difficult as they encounter Clu's tyrannical powerful ways. All the disc throwing, motorcycling, neon-light-fighting action make it hard for Sam, Kevin, and Kevin's apprentice (Olivia WIlde) to remain unscathed.....
