TRON: Legacy

I saw TRON: Legacy 3D in IMAX. I am thinking movies shouldn't be considered 3D if they have less than say, 50% shot that way.  I mean it's pretty silly to wear those glasses for only a  handful of scenes to pop out at you.  I'm just not on the 3D bandwagon yet anyways, regular D suits me just fine.

Now Daft Punk doing the entire soundtrack and making a cameo in the film, is something I can get into!  The beats in combination of the wild neon,  black-lightish colors felt like a dance party.

Was the story a little on the weak side?....sure.  Did I have a blast watching it nonetheless?.....Hell yes I did.
I did go into this film understanding that it was about a man who built an alternate reality based on a video game, and then came to be trapped in that reality by his creations.    Admittedly I never saw the original movie,but I was familiar with actual video game and the concept.  Watching the neon trails on the track during the challenge between the TRON cars was awesome. There were a few other moments too when I wish that I could have rewound and watched the scene again! (Bridges in the black cape once he enters the city)

Thirteen was a good fit for Quorra, Bridges also played a good Kevin and Clu.  I guess Micheal Sheen played his Zuse character correctly but he really got on my nerves. After seeing his acting skill as David Frost I now expect a little more out of him

I have said it a thousand times to the haters:  It's an action movie based on a guy being trapped in a video game world, accept that as the story and go have some fun.  (Don't forget to download the soundtrack, it makes me bobble head.)
