Tron Legacy: Blu-ray (2010)


I won't lie, I've only seen the original Tron once in my life and I hardly remember anything about it other than not being overly impressed. The good new is you don't really need to have seen the original to understand Tron Legacy. The movies likely not going to make complete sense to anyone anyway and it's probably better off that you just shut up and enjoy the ride. The whole point of the movie seems to be a to wow the viewer into submission with a visual style that is both hyperactive and incredibly impressive. I could go into a long list of things that are lacking in this movie but really there's not point. Even with Jeff Bridges in the cast, anyone expecting high quality acting, character depth, sensible plotting or emotional attachment should really check their expectations at the door. The movie sets out to provide pure entertainment and in that regard it largely succeeds.

As expected the blu-ray quality is perfection. Imagine a perfect looking and sounding disc and that's what you get here. There's really not much to say, as a A/V experience Tron Legacy on blu-ray is as good as it gets. I foresee many many demo's of Tron LEeacy in people's homes and retail stores for quite a long time.

It's hard to criticize Tron Legacy the movie sets out to be a great experience and it accomplishes just that. Sure there are a lot of shortcoming in the plot, acting and depth departments but I doubt too many people will care while they're watching it all play out.

Ratings:

Movie: 3.5
Blu-ray: 5
