So recently I just saw Tron:Legacy for the millionth time, this time on RedBox, and I feel as if I just can't get enough. It is the sequel to TRON which is a disney movie that came out in 1982. Tron:Legacy came out in 2010. It was directed by Joseph Kosinski and stars Garret Hedlund as the main character Sam Flynn, Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn which is Sam's father. Olivia Wilde plays Quorra, who is a program.
The movie starts off with Kevin and Sam Flynn, Kevin is telling Sam that he has to go to work, but when Sam wakes up in the morning, they will go to Kevin’s arcade “Flynn’s” and play games together. When Sam wakes up in the morning, he finds that his father was missing, and was not coming back to play games with him.
Cut to Sam in 20 years, he’s not the little five year old boy waiting for his dad to come home, now he’s trying to hack his fathers company, Encom. When Kevin Flynn was the owner of the company, he would let users be able to download a software for free, when Flynn went missing, then Encom starting charging for the software.
Sam breaks into Encom, hacks the system, and makes the software free. The next day when Sam gets out of jail, he gets a visitor at his home, it’s Alan Bradley played by Bruce Boxleitner. He tells Sam that he got a paige from his fathers office at “Flynn’s,” though no one has been in there for 20 years.
Sam goes to Flynn’s to see about the paige when he notices the arcade game box for the video game Tron, which his father created, and puts in a quarter to try and play it, the quarter doesn’t go through, and when Sam bends down to retrieve it, he notices some marks on the floor that would indicate that the arcade box has been moved a few times. Sam then moves the arcade box and discovers a whole new world that his dad has created.
Sam goes on to discover this new world and find out the mystery of his missing father. The movie itself is just wonderful, and movie critics would probably describe it as mind-blowingly great, action packed, and will keep you wanting more.
Another thing that makes Tron: Legacy really good, is the sound track. The sound track to the movie has a lot of electrical techno like songs, which is all played by one band, Daft Punk. Now let me distract from the main topic here to talk about Daft Punk, usually i’m not into any techno type music, but Daft Punk is just so great. They have a more rock like sound behind there music which makes them different.
Okay so back to the movie, well all in all the movie is really good, it has a good story line, good sound track, and a good cast. Nothing in reference to the main character, Garret Hedlund though, he’s just a bonus.
