Amazon.co.uk Review
The luminescent lines and shimmering surfaces of Tron: Legacy will tantalise anyone who's lusted after the latest smartphone. The long-ago disappearance of his computer-genius father has left Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund, Four Brothers) with existential ennui and a lot of money. When he discovers his father's secret workshop, he gets sucked into a computerised realm ruled by a megalomaniac computer program named Clu--who just happens to be his father's virtual doppelganger. To find his real father (Jeff Bridges, reprising his role from the original Tron, with a bit of his role from The Big Lebowski thrown in for kicks), Sam has to fight in gladiatorial games, drive in digital demolition derbies, and be stripped and dressed by slinky pneumatic babes. For all the techno-babble and quasi-philosophy the characters spout, this is a movie without an idea in its shiny head. It would be pointless to describe the many sillinesses because Tron: Legacy isn't actually trying to be smart; it's trying to look cool. It succeeds. Olivia Wilde (House) looks like the coolest action figure ever (if the entire movie could be nothing but the shot of her lounging on a futuristic sofa, it would be a masterpiece of avant-garde gizmo-fetishism). The facemasks are cool, the glowing skintight outfits are cool, the light-cycles are really, really cool--and let's be honest, it's all about the light-cycles. That's what the audience for Tron wants, and that's what Tron: Legacy delivers. --Bret Fetzer

Format:DVD
I found this film a little slow in the start. Very little happened in the first half of the film but all the action was in the second half. Although the film was a little disappointing I did enjoy it but have seen much better films in the past. One of the films you can watch if you have nothing better to do or see.

Format:Blu-ray
Won't say much about the movie plot - sci-fi and TRON fans will love it, not sure about the new audience.
3D is quite good, but starts only after entering the system and it lacks depths and pop outs - not sure why since it's CGI...
This would have been 3 stars but... Pirates of the Carribean 4 3D trailer on the disc looks better in the 3D department. In fact it looks as best 3D I've seen so far so 4 star for the TRON as I wouldn't know that otherwise, now waiting for blu-ray release :)

Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
I basically bought this on Blu-Ray for the visual experience. I was not disappointed. Graphics and CGI are amazing.
The movie itself is entertaining, I was expecting worse, as it must have been hard to remake this movie.
Sound track is brilliant, especially the bar fight scene. I would recommend it on Blu-ray, not one for non-HD DVD viewing! :)

Waste of money
This has to be the worst "alleged" 3D film I have ever endured, nothing jumps out of the screen and there is absolutely no real depth. Read more

Awesome
Great movie. Story is very straight forward (can't understand why some don't get it). Clu is a machine/program and doesnt understand humanity so takes things to a logical level. Read more

3D where?
Fans of the original tron should avoid this. Sad to say it but better special effects back then and a more immersible world this seems to borrow alot from matrix and the 3d is crap... Read more

A great follow up to Interstella 555
I enjoyed Interstella 555 but I must say this Daft Punk movie is in a class of it's own. The music perfectly compliments the pletty lights onscreen and they somehow got Jeff... Read more

Thoroughly entertaining!
Old enough to remember Tron coming out originally and having watched it date terribly through the years, I put off watching "Legacy" for fears that it just wouldn't work. Read more
