The plotline this time revolves around Sam Flynn, the son of Jeff Bridges' character, Kevin, who was the protagonist of the first movie. I don't think this is really is much of a proper sequel at all.

Not to mention that this movie really has next to nothing to do with the original "Tron" anyway, sharing only two characters - one of which is barely more than a cameo. The digital world of the Grid is just an excuse to have kung-fu fights and chase scenes. When you get right down to it, it isn't even really cyberpunk.

Computers are not important to this movie. "Tron" always will have a place in my heart, perhaps not for actually being a good movie, but because it imagined the same things I did when I saw that computer panel: computers are home to a living world.īut that's not what "Tron Legacy" is about. It was some incredible fantasy world where tiny people lived. The first thing I saw in it was a city, with each chip being a building. I remember being a little kid and for the first time seeing a computer panel.
When you're four years old looking at C++ code, its more impossible to understand than the raining numbers from "The Matrix". My dad was some kind of master wizard being able to control this amazing machine in order to program things for AT&T.

I've always associated computers with my father working at home on the PC when I was just a child. "Tron Legacy" is a good movie for what its doing. The original "Tron" wasn't very good, but at least it was trying to do something that movies had never done before: CG effects, cyberpunk storyline, and acknowledging video games as a major cultural force. Instead they just made an action movie, a good action movie, but just an action movie. There doesn't seem to be any real interest in capturing the magic of the idea of "Tron" by updating it to the modern world. "Tron Legacy" just does not share that spirit, sadly. This meant that for the audiences viewing "Tron", it really was the first visualization of the computer world. The very concept of graphical interfaces was still in development.
My old dusty Nintendo 64 is massively more powerful than the most cutting edge computer from the early 80s, and realize that the 64 itself is a dinosaur compared with the machine you're probably reading these words on. If you follow Moore's Law, since 1982 the amount of transistors that can be fit on an integrated circuit has increased by 16,384 fold. "Tron" was made for such a different world. Computing was still a very wild frontier of seemingly limitless opportunities for a very small niche society of programmers and technicians. It was before Google, before Windows, before the Nintendo, before the Macintosh, before the World Wide Web, and if you're reading this blog, probably before you were born. The PC was still new technology, forget about visual interfaces, or mouses. That was back in the days when computers were just taking off, when most businesses still did work on paper. The original "Tron" was released in 1982, twenty-eight years ago. Its such a good soundtrack, that I almost forgot how stupid the rest of the movie was.
"Tron Legacy" might just have the best soundtrack for any movie ever, it fits so perfectly. This is techno at its most awesome, just incredible. There is an Oscar for best musical score and if Daft Punk doesn't get up that on stage in their funny little racing helmets to accept it, then I will eternally hate the Academy Awards. They did the entire soundtrack, and what a soundtrack have they made.
