Tron: Legacy

I remembered watching Tron as a kid. For a movie that was 28 years old, it became a cult classic, based on hacking and programming for the early 1980s. 28 years ago, I wasn't really there yet but I did watched it when it was on the TV. I can't remember the detailed plot then (I was just a mere kid) but I do remember the classic body light and the Light Cycle. It's like reliving the 16-bit game in real life.

Fast forward 28 years later, the sequel emerges. Jeff Bridges reprises his role as Kevin Flynn. He managed to return to the Grid and got stuck there, leaving his son, Sam Flynn. 20 years past and Sam became the biggest shareholder to EMCOM. He was called back to his father's arcade and was accidentally transported into the Grid where he reunites with his father. Now both father and son will fight their way out into the real world.

If this sequel came out way back in the 90s, it'll definately be another cult classic. The story is quite draggy but the Grid is still quite spectacular. Better Light Cycle and they even included a Light Jets, though it seems more over-rated than a classic return. The non-aging CLU is very animatronics, based on the technology of the thousand Agent Smiths from the Matrix. The movements are still quite rigid. Fine, the tech is still improving, just a bit over-rated to me. So in general, it's just over-rated.
