User Review

When talking about sequels that took many years to come out, the first thing that comes to mind is Avatar, the second part of which has been promised for over ten years, but there are even more high-profile cases. The first Tron was released way back in 1982, but since it only gained cult status over time, the sequel appeared only twenty-eight years later. The world has changed, the film industry has been transformed, and, of course, computers, which are now everywhere around us, have changed. All of this could not help but be reflected in Tron: Legacy.

Praising blockbusters for their special effects means showing yourself from a not-so-smart side, but Tron: Legacy is a film in which it is impossible not to note the visual quality. Even in 2022, few films can confidently compete with such a combination of costumes and virtual sets. The blue backlighting on the characters and objects of the computer world is pleasing to the eye, and the world itself captivates with its futurism, cold yet cozy. In 1982, no one could have dreamed of such a thing, and now that the directors of big-budget blockbusters have more opportunities, the result is impressive: instead of gray, geometrically precise objects, we have beautiful bluish rocks and city buildings that even those who are far from cyberpunk would not mind living in.

The lightcycle race turned out to be one of the most outstanding in science fiction films. The same can be said about a similar event in the first part, which means that Legacy has at least partially repeated the fate of its predecessor. The only flaw that is too obvious is the rejuvenated Jeff Bridges. Despite the tremendous work that went into it, he looks unnatural, creating an uncanny valley effect for some viewers.

There is a sense of careful respect for the original plot. The main character is now Sam (Garrett Hedlund), Kevin Flynn's son, and he goes through adventures that largely repeat the story of his brilliant father. If you really want to, you can criticize Legacy for some repetitions, but considering that everything is now shown in a much brighter, higher quality, and simply more beautiful way, such moments can be forgiven. The idea of creating conflict and the premise of a threat based on the character of Clu is also very interesting. It's just a pity that Tron himself has gone from being the main character to a brilliant cameo, and unlike his older brother Flynn, we hardly see his face. The storyline of Quorra (Olivia Wilde) develops well; she has a dream that allows her to live on and not give up.

But there is one problem that prevents the film from receiving the highest rating: clichés. They are so banal and familiar that the ending becomes predictable twenty minutes before it happens. How many times have we seen villains with delusions of grandeur who want to take over the world at any cost? And lonely beautiful girls who are just waiting for some lonely guy to come along? And a meaningless generational conflict that is calmly resolved by peaceful means? Added to this is the cunning Zues (Michael Sheen), who bears too much resemblance to Merovingian from The Matrix. To be honest, I am tormented by vague doubts that it was under the influence of The Matrix that Disney remembered Tron, which is dedicated to a similar theme.

Another important point: the film is literally torn apart by contradictory morals. On the one hand, the characters strive for perfection, while on the other, the elder Flynn openly says that such a pursuit is meaningless. It is extremely difficult to agree with such words, and even more so when you look at the real world. The desire to show a complex, wise character ultimately harms the script, which feels heavily edited to suit new standards.
