Are You Going To Enjoy Tron Legacy Film ? It's A Tedious, Tiring And Incomplete Neon Meaninglessness
Where to commence? Tron Legacy is an optical feast for your eyes and an auditory delight thanks to Daft Punk and Joseph Trapanese. The soundtrack seems nearly ethereal and matches beautifully with this brand-new world we have been introduced to for the 1st time. What the movie makes up for in spectacular imagery, it lacks in plot line. Maybe I should have watched the 1982 version as so many people have pointed out to me but even without it, the plot appears a little disjointed. The unspoken connections to the real world are several such as The Holocaust, God complexes, evil doppelgangers and far more. You are left with a lot doubts than responses as it is never unveiled just what it is about this world that would change almost everything in the real world. Saw it in 3D which was a mixed good thing, as the film is so darkly lit that the tint in the glasses made some scenes really opaque and hard to catch. Far from being a CGI spectacular, Tron is tiring in every aspect : the colors, the script, the tone, psychological content. The fact that several characters are variants of Jeff Bridges is ironic, and symbolizes the full one-note movie. It hits its strident pace about 3 minutes in and bonds with it throughout. Everyone shouts everything and none of it means anything. The story is utter tosh which ticks staid little plot-boxes and moves on speedily before it can be analysed for any evidence of original content. There is none; it's depressingly old hat. Like the first film, you get the belief the only aim of making Tron Legacy was to show the bike-racing but with meliorated CGI. And, like the first movie, the dullness and confusion of those scenes in cannot be over-stated. Jeff Bridges tweets in his usual old hippie routine - the Big Lebowski meets Robocop. He has bare feet! How very Zen! Everyone else in the film is too unlifelike to evaluate. There's no tension, no sense of threat, and the consistent uniforms make telling the goodies from the baddies a distinction not worth annoying with. Even the big Tron 'reveal' is a joke of Stig-like proportions, as he never gets his helmet off, so who the hell knows WHO he is? I would pick the plot apart, but fear I might expend more effort than the makers did in putting it together - which is not saying much. Halfway through this flick I left my buddies and went to get a cup of the, just for something to do. I find it hard to believe any one could write a spoiler for this movie more damaging than the screenwriters already have.
