The sequel that no one was asking for to "Tron" (1982). Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges from the first movie) disappears in 1985 without a trace. MANY year later his son Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) discovers a virtual world where his father is with an evil twin named Clu (a virtual young Jeff Bridges). Sam tries to get Kevin and his hot brunette pal Quorra (Olivia Wilde) to escape...but Clu will do anything to stop that.

I saw the original "Tron" back in 1982 in a theatre. Despite the (then)state of the art special effects I was bored silly and couldn't wait for the film to end! The film was a mega-bomb which Disney quickly ignored. Now (28 years later) we get a sequel--and you know what? It's as bad as the original! For starters this is too long running over 2 hours! The music score is terrible-- the SAME music again and again and AGAIN! Gets monotonous quick. The special effects didn't impress me--and the same ones are used all through the film. The plot made little sense--but it could be because I dozed off twice because I was so BORED! It also had the same problem as the first--during the "game" sequences you couldn't tell who lived and who died. They all wore stupid helmets which made it impossible to tell them apart! Lastly the 3-D wasn't needed. It's a HUGE rip-off from Hollywood charging you extra to see it in 3-D. My ticket was a ridiculous $15.50! The 3-D was barely used and it didn't help the special effects in the least. A few times I had to take off the 3-D glasses because it was making the image so dark I couldn't make it out!

On the plus side the acting was good. Hedlund (despite the lousy lines he was given) was young, handsome and appealing. Wilde was incredibly sexy AND gave a good performance. Bridges was good in BOTH his roles and it was fun seeing a young Bridges. But, all in all, I was bored and annoyed at this. If you liked the original "Tron" you MIGHT like this. I give it a 2--mostly for the acting.
