Tron: Legacy

I know, I know... I put on my sidebar that I want to watch Narnia, but here I am talking about Tron. Sorry! The plan was to watch Narnia first and then Tron, but the circumstances changed, so here we go...

The first time I watched the trailer, I have to admit, I was impressed. Like I said, I am very much into the action stuff, so when I saw the effects, the motorcycles and the music, I thought 'This movie will be fantastic!'

So, last Monday, there I go to the cinemas with my husband and a couple of friends from the YPG. We were very excited, especially because we were going to watch Tron on IMAX. Big screen, incredible sound system... this was going to be a good experience!

The excitement died a little bit when we got to the auditorium. It was packed and we had to sit on the right hand side of the second row. As soon as the trailers started we were all crossed eyed because of the 3D glasses and simply because we were too close to big screen.

Anyway, the movie started and my immediate impression is that the movie was going to be awesome, the first scenes are very good! However, 30 minutes later I began to wonder, 'where is the story going? Where is the plot? Ok, is there anything else? Is anything else going to happen here?'

The answer is NO! The movie had no plot whatsoever, no story, no sense, no point! What the guy does at the end, he could have done in the very beginning!! He didn't change anything, didn't accomplish anything really. Up to now, I don't know where they wanted to go with the story... Was Sam supposed to reconcile with his father? Was he supposed to find himself? Find a purpose for his life?

Who knows??!

The whole movie seems like a video game, the dramatic music is good, the effects are impressive, but that's it. There is nothing more to it really.

So, my advice to those who are planning to watch Tron: Legacy is this:

Don't waste your time or money! Go watch Narnia instead.

If the first two are any indication, this third one is sure to be an incredible movie. That's the next review I'll be posting here, so make sure to watch this space next week!
