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.

Reel Talk Online

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.

Disney may be looking for a merchandising bonanza with this long-gestating sequel to the groundbreaking 1982 film, but someone in the corporate offices forgot to add any human interest to its action-heavy script.

... coming ten years after 'The Matrix' redefined the cinematic cyberworld it still seems old fashioned, at times entertainingly so, at other times simply frustratingly limited.

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.

Lacking the charm and better pace of the original, Tron Legacy felt flat. Yes, it had some great visuals, but overall it felt more like a music video that quickly felt lacking. Most of the characters were unlikeable. The music didn't work for me as it didn't fit in with this digital world. The original feels dated based on the imagery but the sense of wonder as a human / user interacts with his environment reminded me of Neo from the Matrix - there's an air of spirituality and mysticism that made the story interesting.

An underrated rebootquel that set the standard for the format, not to mention its amazing innovations in VFX including one of the best damn 3D presentations I've ever seen. This movie is a whole mood, and that's even before Daft Punk steps in.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Solid visuals combined with a fire soundtrack by Daft Punk are still not enough to uplift the movie's downsides, mainly the horrendous CGI Clu and overall boring plot.

This movie is incredibly boring, literally fell asleep twice while watching it. And the CGI villian is very poorly made.
