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.

... 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.

The plot is very basic and predictable. But, who cares. The visuals are great, the soundtrack is amazing, and it's just a downright cool movie 😎. I will say, the bigger the TV and the better the sound system, the more enjoyable this movie becomes.

Great to look at, but boring. There nothing fresh or original about the story. It is a snorefest. A lot of money went to special effects and nothing to writers evidently. It's an estranged father son tale full of cliches.
