Saw TRON: Legacy 3D on New Year's Day. I should explain that the original TRON came out when I was eleven years old. And whatever plot fails it has, I loved it -the whole idea of the Grid caught my imagination.
So, this new one, with a lot of the spirit of the original, less plot fail (although it has honking big plot HOLES), was never gonna be anything but a win for me. Loved the 3D bits, and the world building.
I loved Quorra - and couldn't figure out why she looked so familiar - she plays Thirteen on House! And while I found Sam kinda dumb (how the hell do you *think* Quorra can move off the Grid, moron?), I did like the way he chose to rebel, and the dive off the tower illustrated his devil-may-care reckless streak he needs in the Grid.
Clu was wonderfully creepy. As for the rest of the programs on the grid, we all knew doublecrossers get doublecrossed, so that was fairly satisfying.
I kinda want to see it again, but I think it can wait until its out on DVD (please do a director's cut! Please?).
Wish there was more Tron, though.
The world building was very satisfying. All in all I give it an A- because eve with the plot holes it was an exciting and satisfying movie to watch (gives new meaning to the phrase "ghost in the machine").
