I didn't see the original movie or play the arcade game (Well, maybe I did a few times through other mediums), but I thoroughly enjoyed Disney's latest release, Tron: Legacy. Perhaps this goes to show the relative ease, with which anyone can pop into a theater and spend two hours enjoying visually awing special effects and the truly inspired soundtrack that is, Tron. You certainly don't need to be an avid Tron follower or a nerdy gamer to enjoy this movie, but in response to a friend of mine who asked, "Is it a boy movie?" I feel pretty obliged to say that it pretty much is that. Although, Joseph Kosinski, the movie's director made an effort to accompany the sound pumping action scenes with ones dedicated to developing the character's of Sam Flynn and his father, Kevin, I don't think many females will find the story too overtly appealing to them.
A lot of people are cautioning those who might be interested in seeing this movie, that it lacks a solid plot and poses many questions that are left unanswered. While "these people" may have a solid point, often times it's better to just go into a movie, especially one like this, with little expectations and an open mind. Besides, seeing Jeff Bridges act in one movie in this many different roles is well worth the price of admission (3D or 2D).
