The Plot:
Sam Flynn’s (Garrett Hedlund) father, Kevin (Jeff Bridges) has been a missing person for decades. Leaving behind a fledgling tech company that has now grown into a billion dollar business.
Returning to his father’s arcade/studio, Sam finds his father’s programming equipment and is soon brought into the world of Tron.
A man among programs, Sam begins unraveling the secrets of this new world while discovering what happened to his father.
Kent’s Take:
“Tron: Legacy” like its predecessor, is an effects-heavy tale that relies too heavily on those effects.
As Sam enters the virtual world, he quickly... Tron: Legacy – Reelworld (Webster-Kirkwood Times)

All right, all you guys, gals and geeks. This one’s for you, because it didn’t do very much for me.
The Walt Disney folks waited nearly 30 years to produce a sequel to “Tron,” so “Tron: Legacy” should have benefited from 30 years of technical advancement. Sorry, it’s a clunky script that forces clunky acting, and the 3-D routine is like all the others, shooting out of the screen and toward the audience. Some of the frisbee-throwing (okay, they’re not real frisbees but they’re round discs and they look and act like frisbees) is fun, but not a life-changing experience….
For the rest...
