Favorite one-line review from a different critic:
“TRON: Legacy is shallow but beautiful, thrilling but unsatisfying.” – Tim Martain -
My Review:
This movie can be wrapped in 3 simple words: “Style over substance”. If you want to watch a two-hour long, awesome music video set to some great techno music than Tron is for you. If you are looking for an engaging and intelligent Sci-Fi thriller than sorry, try Source Code. Tron is the kind of movie that you might find playing in the background of an underground techno club.
Don’t get me wrong, there are some action sequences scattered throughout the movie that are breathtaking and unbelievable. But then you’ve got to sit through the incoherent hippie banter of Jeff Bridges. It’s a love/hate relationship. It’s a lot like the remake of Speed Racer. We had such high hopes that the directors of the Matrix were going to make this spectacular special effects extravaganza. Then they did make that but they forgot to put a story in there somewhere. Tron is the same way. Let’s hope the sequel focuses more on the potentially great story line.
Rating:
7 out of 10
Suck Scale:
Story sucks, visuals are unbeatable.
