you see "dated," I see "reinterpreted." just as fashion consumes and iterates itself (70s inflected this, conquistador-armour-suggesting-that), tron 2 was "what if you reopened the tron bottle after thirty years?" as a stylistic thought experiment.


I just thought it failed in this. Recreating a Tron movie with obvious flesh & blood people and glued on glowsticks just seemed like recreating Roger Rabbit with Shia LeBeouwf and glued on bunny ears.


I doubt I'll buy it, but I had several eye/eargasm combo moments and I must credit them for that.


As far as "what if you were inside a computer?" goes, The Matrix blew them out of the water over 10 years ago. As far as that^ goes, Speed Racer blew them out of the water 3 years ago.

Tron Legacy: Not as good as the Wachowskis =(
