‘Tron Legacy’ was the most anticipated movie of 2010 that was due release on Christmas. Disney’s ‘Tron’ was the first movie, which was released way back in the 1980s. It became a genre movie at that point of time, which had lot of style and graphical presentations but lacked a proper plot or a storyline. This time ‘Tron Legacy’ was attempted to freshen the memories of the youngsters, who did not much understand and remember the original ‘Tron’, released in 1982.

As mentioned earlier, original ‘Tron’ was a storehouse of thrilling actions and amazing computer graphics without much story, the same has happened for ‘Tron Legacy’ too. The making of the present movie is sleek and smart, the graphical representations are mind-blowing and the special effects are highly polished and thrilling particularly if you are seeing it with a 3D effect. However, the plot of the movie is extremely weak and there is no story as such.

‘Tron Legacy’ begins with the flashback of the older ‘Tron’, where Kevin Flynn (played by Jeff Bridges) talks to his son regarding the history of Tron. There is also a voiceover that explains the audience about ‘the grid’. ‘The grid’ is actually a virtual world that exists and Kevin Flynn disappears into it suddenly 20 years ago.
It is now the turn of Kevin Flynn’s grown up son Sam (played by the very handsome Garrett Hedlund) to take charge of things. But unfortunately he is also trapped in ‘the grid’. There is more confusion awaiting for him there. He finds two fathers there and is extremely confused. One is his original father Kevin Flynn and the other is Clu, who is a negative character. Clu wants to rule the Tron world and almost runs an autocratic rule there. On the other hand, original Flynn is highly enthusiastic about ‘biodigital jazz’ and ‘free information’.

You will be disappointed if you try to find logical reasoning and story in the movie. ‘Tron Legacy’ is all about a movie that has cutting edge visuals and graphical presentations. The visual and special effects department of the movie have done a wonderful job and are sure to be contenders for the Oscars in the ‘Special Effect’ category. The fantasy world that has been created by the director of ‘Tron Legacy’ will only be able to woo the very young generation to whom only the special effects will be interesting. One time watch for the special effects is OK, but not more than that.
