Went to watch Tron: Legacy today. I thought it's worth writing a review since it was quite a nice show. Please refrain from reading this post if you don't want any spoilers.
I watched the 2D version as I read from the newspapers that 1/5 of the show is not in 3D anyway. I would say this film, together with Inception, are the only two movies that can rival the alien-themed Avatar.
Tron's computer graphics were done not only with excellent skills but also with bountiful amounts of sincerity. Compared to Avatar, this film has more human touch to it and you can relate to the characters with ease compared to those blue aliens.
The biggest setback is its old-school plot. Boy enters/experience a brand new world, boy is in danger, boy is going to get killed by the baddie, a girl appears and saves him. Together with an old hag, they combine to fight against the baddie. End of story.
Other than being able to rival against big big Avatar, Tron: Legacy also has something else which makes it belong to the category of scarce movies. It is one of the rare films that doesn't have any kissing scenes. Well, the theme is science-fic anyway. What do you expect? Expect some superb and dazzling animations then.
By the way, I would gladly award 4.5 stars out of 5 for it. Minus 0.5 marks because I don't understand how did they find food to eat in the virtual world.
