Tron: Legacy
After all Jord’s hype, I was expecting insane visuals and a tailormade soundtrack, and Tron: Legacy delivered on one of those things. The visuals are insane. To the level that it’s worth watching even if the movie was terrible, which it’s not. The plot is certainly a rehash of the first movie, and some of the original charm isn’t there, but it’s good enough to really settle in and immerse youself in the universe that’s displayed. The soundtrack; however, I found to be a real letdown. I’ve heard this described as a 2 hour Daft Punk music video, but save a couple of undeniable bangers, the vast majority of Daft Punk’s soundtrack is run-of-the-mill orchestra, which is not only disappointing coming from Daft Punk, but completely does not fit the vibe of the universe. I mean, it’s almost unforgiveable. Anyway, that aside, this is a fun movie, and better than the reviews in my opinion.

Overall, I enjoyed the first Tron more than this second installment, but wow, did this one look better on the screen. The story here feels like a more Disney-fied version of the original Tron, which felt a little cheap at times. And despite Jord’s insistence otherwise, Z & I were not blown away by the soundtrack. But I am really intrigued by the Tron universe! This was a very fun movie and has me excited for where the visuals will take us in the next one.

The Tron Ares trailer got me thinking: is Tron Legacy worth watching? The answer is now yes, and will always be yes. Why this movie has the reviews that it does truly confuses me. I thought the movie rocked, along with its soundtrack! This is a movie that was made for Z, and I hope he likes it as much as I think he will. Now, it isn’t a perfect movie, but it can be the perfect movie for different situations. It has a great soundtrack, a fun plot, and an awesome universe. It does fall into a few Disney "corny" issues, but other than that, I think it is a must-watch and I'm excited for Ares!
