Tron Legacy [DVD]

undefined

Product Description ------------------- Tron Legacy is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his her’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his her has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), her and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous. Bonus Features * First look at Tron: Uprising, the Disney XD Animated Series * Visualizing Tron * Installing The Cast .co.uk Review ------------- The luminescent lines and shimmering surfaces of Tron: Legacy will tantalise anyone who's lusted after the latest . The long-ago disappearance of his computer-genius her has left Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund, Four Brothers) with existential ennui and a lot of money. When he discovers his her's secret workshop, he gets sucked into a computerised realm ruled by a megalomaniac computer program named Clu--who just happens to be his her's virtual doppelganger. To find his real her (Jeff Bridges, reprising his role from the original Tron, with a bit of his role from The Big Lebowski thrown in for kicks), Sam has to fight in gladiatorial games, drive in digital demolition derbies, and be stripped and dressed by slinky pneumatic babes. For all the techno-babble and quasi-philosophy the characters spout, this is a movie without an idea in its shiny head. It would be pointless to describe the many sillinesses because Tron: Legacy isn't actually trying to be smart; it's trying to look cool. It succeeds. Olivia Wilde (House) looks like the coolest action figure ever (if the entire movie could be nothing but the of her lounging on a futuristic sofa, it would be a masterpiece of avant-garde gizmo-fetishism). The faces are cool, the glowing skintight outfits are cool, the light-cycles are really, really cool--and let's be honest, it's all about the light-cycles. That's what the audience for Tron wants, and that's what Tron: Legacy delivers. --Bret Fetzer
