One Word to Describe it: Decent
The sequel to the 1982 science fiction success of Tron, Tron: Legacy is an average film that is able to do an ok job in filling its predecessor's boots. The acting trio of Jeff Bridges, Garrett Headland and Olivia Wilde are mediocre in their dialogue and chemistry but do a good job in keeping the film moving along and don't really do anything particularly wrong. The plot, also, is distinctly lukewarm. Throughout most of Tron: Legacy the picture is dark and this causes some problems in seeing what is going on, so in the last 5 minutes when light finally comes into the film you are left slightly stunned. In fact, one of the only outstanding aspects of this film is the soundtrack, courtesy of Daft Punk. Mixing deep electronic tones with instrumental magic, the soundtrack keeps the (at some times boring) film chugging along nicely. The visual effects are also commendable, with blues, oranges and blacks weaved together effectively, creating a futuristic look around the movie. All in all, Tron: Legacy is a good way to spend 2 and a half hours when there's nothing really else to do, but if you can't stomach it then at least buy Daft Punk's soundtrack.
