Movie Review: Tron Legacy

So, I saw Tron Legacy a while back. It turned out to be pretty cool movie with nice special effects. I guess the special effects were what kept the audiences glued to their seat.


Now I haven’t seen the 1982 original Tron, so I won’t be able to tell you how the two movies syncs in, but based on my research it is not necessary to know the first movie’s plot to enjoy the sequel.

The Tron Legacy is about this kid, Sam Flynn, his dad, Kevin Flynn and The Grid.

The movie starts with Kevin explaining the mystical powers of The Grid to his son, Sam. He promises to take Sam to visit this “digital frontier” the next day. However, Kevin disappears. People search for him in vain, but he is nowhere to be found. Twenty years pass. Sam is now a young man who is now a total rebel.

One night, Kevin’s partner is paged on his number. It is Kevin Flynn’s number. The partner informs Sam and implores him to find out about his Dad. Sam is unconvinced. Yet through a fortunate series of circumstances he discovers his Dad’s work.

Kevin Flynn was on top of his game, he was into astrophysics, digital software and all such cool sounding next gen technologies. One day, he went too far. Kevin, who was originally a video game arcade owner, discovered a system where people could take digital avatars and enter the video game a.k.a The Grid.

The Grid, is something like Second Life, only this is a system where once you take a digital avatar here, you do not remain physically present in the real world. How? Well, the avatar is actually is the real video game user only his/her body has been converted from atoms and molecules to bits and bytes.

This may sound all weird and very Star Trek, but hey that’s the basic concept of the movie.

Anyway, then you see what the director hopes is an epic battle between the human mind and the ignobility of the search for perfection through better technology.

There are nice bikes, loads of LED lights, neon suits…and tech life forms. Interestingly, tech life forms are no better than humans in their desires, design or devious plans. The ending is eventful and surely leaves plenty scope for the third installment.

I would give it 3.5/5. The 3D graphics really stand out in this one, so that makes it a definite watch.
