Sam (Garrett Hedlund), the son of famous video-game developer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), has been haunted for a long time by his father's mysterious disappearance. A strange signal draws Sam to Flynn's Arcade, and he is pulled into the same cyberworld in which his father, its creator, has been trapped for 20 years. With fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), Kevin and Sam seek to escape from a universe that, while magnificent, is far more advanced and dangerous than Kevin had ever imagined.

Critics Consensus

Tron Legacy boasts dazzling visuals, but its human characters and story get lost amidst its state-of-the-art production design.

There's an undeniable appeal at its core - in its sincere approach to ridiculous concepts, in its resistance toward quipping at its own expense.

Tron: Legacy is a fun popcorn flick if you had the opportunity to catch it on the big screen, but with the digital effects downsized on a DVD format what's good about the movie doesn't emit as much of an effect.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Everything you could dream of from the original is bigger, brighter, and better. Never before have video games, or even science-fiction itself, looked as good or as sharply designed as this.

Rated: 4/5

Deep Focus Review

Almost three decades in the making, TRON: Legacy arrives and forces viewers to wonder why it took so long to render such an unremarkable film.

Rated: 2.5/4

Tron: Legacy, and it remains, even more than a decade after its release, one of the most audacious big-budget debuts in recent memory.

Shocked to see the low critics score on this one. This is one of my favorite non-comedy movies of all time. Upon my insistence, many friends of mine have also watched it and been blown away by it. I was fortunate enough to see it in IMAX 3D when it came out.

I honestly don't know why this film gets so much hate. It is one of the most picturesque in state of the art movies of its decade by far. Although there are some plot holes, it is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion. Every scene was like an event, both on the visualization side of things and the score. By far, one of my favorites.

The visuals the simplicity the soundtrack of it all I watched multiple times and just generally think it's great and filled with small details of greatness I recommend this film to anyone.

Great potential and fun to watch. But once you get past the pretty factor it sucks. There are glaring plot holes. Sheer luck conveniences or just stupid design that wouldn’t make sense given the character’s biography’s. Not to mention how nonsensical a lot of the action scenes are. Like if you put an ounce of thought into why something happens the story looses all of it’s appeal

Movie was ahead of its time visuals plus the soundtrack very good story could have been a little bit better in the second half but overall very very good from being released in 2010.
