Tron: Legacy starts off with a brief message that some of the parts of the film are in 2-D but the audience are advice to wear the 3-D glasses through the entire film. The film then start off with a very impressive opening light cycle to real world sequence which shows us Kevin Flynn played by Jeff Bridges while he tells his son about his adventures with Tron from the first film. His character then disappears until some years and Sam has grown up into a happy go lucky successor of ENCOM International, the company his father drove to success. After sabotaging ENCOM's latest software endeavor he was later visited by the executive consultant for ENCOM International, close friend of Kevin Flynn, and a father image to Sam, Alan Bradley. Alan (Bruce Boxleitner who played Tron in the first film) then tells Sam that he receive a mysterious page from Sam's father which Sam later checks out. Ultimately, Sam entered the grid and this is where he realized that all his father's stories where true, the Grid is real. He is immediately thrown into a gladiator type of entertainment simply called the "games" where he meets Clu 2, which he mistakes for as his father but then later revealed as the one pulling the strings in the seemingly twisted digital world of the grid. He is later saved by Quorra played by Olivia Wilde and was later reunited with his father. Then the story began to further unfold into a climatic ending which is for you to find out.

Tron Legacy has great musical scoring thanks to Daft Punk and some very interesting nostalgic 80's music. The main villain in the film, Clu 2 is also played by the Jeff Bridges except younger. Clu 2 is the exact duplicate of the 1982 Kevin Flynn, which is either a hit or a miss. Knowing this, I think we are mentally conditioned to look for flaws on the 3-D rendering of a young Jeff Bridges which I eventually did. The model sometimes feel plastic and facial expressions stiff, but it doesn't take too much away from the film. Tron: Legacy has a good amount of hight intensity action scenes. Not to mention various Grid vehicle transformation sequences are just simple awesome, jaw-dropping, and what pop culture refer to as it can induce "nerdgasm". The writing is nice which may provide some chuckles as Kevin flynn occassionally use classic 80's remarks and expressions along the way.
PMB Recommendation
The Verdict
Tron: Legacy is an exciting, eye candy, engaging, entertaining, action pack film with a decent storyline. You don't have to see the original 1982 to get the gist of the film but it is highly advisable to see it, just have an open mind if you are to see such classics. I believe it is unanimous amongst everyone who watched this film that Tron: Legacy is a nice Hollywood 3-D film. Though some parts are in 2-D, most of it is in awesome 3-D, so if you can, I recommend you to go see it on various IMAX Theaters nationwide: SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, and SM Cebu.
