Strengths
Thought the story is simple finding dad hiding in program, it is the special effects with strobing light costumes with 3D makes this movie special. Its better to watch in 3D/IMAX 3D screens to enjoy the movie to the core. It is visually brilliant and well executed in the screen. The initial grid fights with scorching bikes-disc, a color coded flight chases, Pubs and entire ambiance of the grid world brought before us is awesome. Music by David sets you to the mood of Cyber grid with some rock strings/bands.
Jeff bridges has portrayed his Kevin and Chloe character brilliantly as he the trump card of the movie. Garrett Hedlund as his son done a fine job. Olivia Wild oozes the audience with some sexy leather tights costumes played her action part well. Photography & special effects challenges the recent techy-movies . Chases and stunts are quite imaginative. The movie keeps us entertained from the word go.... it will be great for the person who has viewed the original movie.
Weakness
Story and the screenplay wise it is not the best of the original Tron in 1982. For the first timer it may sound little awkward with the theme,lights ----overdosed of special effects......may be!!!!!!!!!!!Climax lacks punch...
Tron: Legacy is visual brilliance than of strong content. It is sure a entertainer for the action sci-fi lovers
Verdict: 6/10(2 for 3D & special effects, 1 for photography,1 for performances, 1 for Background score & 1 for direction)
Movie Canvas Punch: Tron: Legacy is eye candy....
