Summary of the movie
Sam, played by Garrett Hedlund, is the only son of the legendary video game developer Kevin Flynn, portrayed by Jeff Bridges. For years, Sam has been tormented by the mystery surrounding his father’s sudden disappearance, which had left a void in his life and a long list of unanswered questions. One day, a strange and enigmatic signal begins to resonate, ultimately guiding Sam to the iconic Flynn’s Arcade—a nostalgic hub of retro gaming.
Upon entering the arcade, Sam is unexpectedly transported into a vibrant yet perilous digital world known as the Grid, where his father has been trapped for the past two decades. In this high-tech universe, he encounters the ISO Quorra, played by Olivia Wilde—a courageous and resourceful warrior with a fierce determination to protect her people.
Together, this unlikely trio must navigate awe-inspiring landscape of the Grid, and complex challenges, facing formidable foes such as Rinzler and Clu, and advanced technologies that are far beyond anything Sam had ever imagined as existing.
As they delve deeper into the heart of this mesmerizing but dangerous realm, they confront not only the external threats that come with their escape quest but also the personal struggles that have kept them apart for so long. Their journey becomes a fight for survival and redemption, as they unearth long-buried secrets and learn to harness the immense power of the digital world in their struggle to reunite and escape.
Energized by a soundtrack created by none other than the French electronic duo Daft Punk, Tron: Legacy continues to resonate with audiences today.
Reviews
Snippets of reviews released around the time of the movie in December 2010.
- The film holds true to its roots: it looks amazing. Director Joseph Kosinski had plenty of training and education as an architect before he got into filmmaking and it’s more than refreshing to see a world envisioned by someone other than James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Michael Bay, and George Lucas. We’re reminded of the efforts of another unknown director helming his first feature film, Neill Blomkamp’s direction of 2009’s District 9.
- What viewers will get, regardless of their relationship with the 1982 film, is a thrilling, moving 3D adventure that will leave you wanting more. Whereas 3D has quickly become a dirty, corporate word, Tron: Legacy‘s use of the new technology to bring the audience directly into this very specific and unique world makes this movie a completely immersive experience.
- But even with all the shortcomings, this is by no means a waste. In fact, for the 3D effects of the lightcycles alone, I’d even be willing to recommend this movie. And it’s definitely one to behold and savor in its full 3D glory. This is Joseph Kosinski’s first feature film after years of making commercials and short films, and the three and a half years it took to make this movie definitely paid off visually. I really can’t say enough about how truly stunning is the world of the new TRON: all of the neon-lit vehicles, the light-up rubber suit costume design and futuristic landscape and architectures are worth the price of admission. The ambiance is enhanced by the vibrant and dynamic music by French Electronic music duo Daft Punk, who has a cameo in the movie. The soundtrack is probably one of the movie’s greatest assets.
