Tron Legacy Review

So, I went to see Tron Legacy in IMAX 3D this afternoon. I guess I was expecting a lot because I was a little disappointed.

It starts out pretty good with some back story, some action, and a little sticking it to the man, and with the trailers, I really thought there was going to be a lot of really good action. Well, the trailers didn't show it all, but a good amount of the action involved. There were surprises, but they weren't jaw dropping. As far as the story, the trailers had me convinced it was about a son searching for his father somewhere on the grid. Not so much, he found him pretty quickly, so there was a lot more story to go. That's where it got slow. I don't want to ruin all of it for you, but needless to say, the story left me wanting more. It just didn't feel right. The writers and director probably did that on purpose, so they can do another movie. I just wish they would have finished this one.

I thought the special effects were spectacular, especially in 3D. They were so good they weren't really noticeable. They blended right in, which is the way I like it. The only aspect of the special effects that wasn't great was young Jeff Bridges. It wasn't the way he looked, but how the mouth moved when he talked. It wasn't believable at all, but I forgive that because I haven't found anyone who could make a human face talk with computers and make it look real.

All in all, it was just a good movie, not great or bad, just good. If you love special effects and don't worry about the story that much, then pay the money to go see it in the IMAX 3D. Otherwise, I would just wait for it to get to RedBox. Oh and one last thing, Olivia Wilde is even hotter 60 feet tall and in 3D.
