OK, Tron... many Gen Y kids nowadays don't even know this movie exist... It was the movie of my time, back when I was little, I saw this movie on TV once, I don't know what they're talking about but the special effects are super cool, that was late 80's. I was lucky to pick that up in the late 90's the VCD, finally understand what the buzz about. Being in the IT college, everything in Tron are familiar, coz its almost like what we studies.
The story of Tron, Kevin Flynn the program designer, because of his games code were stollen by Edward Dillinger, and Ed became famous and appointed as CEO of ENCOM, Flynn was then left out, and he later ran a local arcade centre. Some problem with the MCP of the ENCOM mainframe, Alan decided to turn to Flynn for help. So they went to the laser lab, a device with ability transfer an object into digital format. MCP fires the laser and brought Flynn into the computer world, where he met Tron & Yori. So they fight the MCP and end up winning and shutting down the MCP from further trying to control the whole network. Return to real world and became the CEO of ENCOM.
Tron 2 starts of years after that, Flynn is trying to do something different, and his creation Clu, turn against him... the plot is like Matrix, Planet of the Apes, kinda thing, the creation turns against the creator and rule over the world the creator created.
I give this movie a 8/10. Its a fun movie, Jeff Bridges is bringing Kevin Flynn back! The Flynn's Arcade is exact the same as the first one, with 80's songs and Pac Man. The CGI effects all look damn good. The Light cycle and the disc combat looks updated from first movie. the 2 leg flying shuttle thingy looks cooler than the first one, the first one kinda look like Galaga's enemy ship.
Olivia Wilde (Number 13 in House tv series), is the reason I love this movie. She's like the Ceasar in Planet of the Apes but with better master. A program that has their own AI, think and feel like human, its called ISO in this movie. The suit they wore is sexy, and Daft Punk are in it, but wearing a helmet. Sam Flynn(Garret Hedlund), Kevin's son was okay in this movie. The costume designer did a good job designing clothes for Kevin Flynn, coz he look just like a Jedi Master in that robe, also he can do cool things, since he's the creator of the Grid world.
Lastly, the digital youngnification of Jeff Bridges as Tron 1 film, and Clu. I must say the effects team didn't do perfect enough, coz some expression look fake, like a plastic. but kudos to them too, able to pull that off. I must say its fun to see Jeff Bridges in his young age appearance. I miss those looks in Fisher King, Star Man, King Kong, Fearless.
I think I'm gonna get the Blu Ray video of this film when it release in Speedy.
VERDICT -
Sound - 10/10
Visual - 10/10
Acting - 8/10
Story - 8/10
