Tron: Legacy

[LynnInDenver]

I will keep this as spoiler free as I can.

I just got back from seeing it, and I'm very happy.

They did a very good job explaining/showing the general setting and character motivations.

I was disappointed in the origins for

, and the sometimes over the top good/evil color code-ing.

But I was pleasantly surprised with how they side stepped the heroic return of

, though this does leave the door open for a sequel. But if that is done with as much love as they did this movie, I have no problems with Tron #3.

The only technical problem I had, was that young Jeff Bridges sat firmly in the uncanny valley. Otherwise, fantastic special effects.

All in all, it's a good movie. If you liked the original, you'll love this.

I did have some minor issues with the uncanny valley of Young Jeff Bridges, but it worked for when it was Jeff Bridges Deaged As Clu, to some extent, since Clu amounted to a Degraded Copy. The real issue with it for me was the bedroom scene with Young Sam, and mostly that his eyes didn't seem to be looking the right direction.
As for the over the top color coding of alignment, it is a Disney flick, things tend towards high contrast with them anyway.
I like how everyone had their motivations, no one was truly evil, some were just trying to get by, others merely had been given very badly worded instructions. ("Computer, create an opponent capable of defeating Data." level of badly worded.)
