The Legacy of Tron

Amongst the many Christmas delights, was a much awaited trip to the cinema to see Tron: Legacy.  Although visually stunning, with all three dimensional forms outlined in either orange or blue neon bars, accompanied by a powerful electronic soundtrack by DaftPunk - the weak storyline and characters failed to provide depth to a narrative that did little more than acting as a treat for our eyes and ears.  A nostalgia for the original movie, that first explored in movie terms a physical exploration of digital space through awkward CGI graphics - sat uncomfortably within the sequel that references such visuals through highly developed CGI; where even Jeff Bridge's youthful face is digitally remastered.  A lightly touched upon moral outcome, is Jeff Bridge's adult character's realisation, that his endeavours to create this digital, 'other' world was in vain - and that this creation only ended in creating a kind of hell.  Indeed, his final acceptance that perfection was both simultaneously unattainable and already within his grasp within his existing family.  You can't help but enjoy DaftPunk's 'Derezzed', however, press play to watch below...
