The first Tron had such a joy and energy to it. Beautiful rooms and imagery of people talking with no personality. These are very interesting ideas, but they are presented in the dullest way possible. Jeff Bridges' character Flynn has stuck in the computer world for 20 years after a coup by his computer alter-ego resulting from him discovering "life" in this world. Once we get off-grid though I started to remember. Once we got to the Grid I had to ask myself "how did I ever hate this movie, this is awesome!" The disc fights, are great, and I will fight anyone who says that lightcycle sequence isn't one of the best sci-fi action scenes of the last decade. I understood what was going on a little more, that helped, and the connections to the first movie were a little forced but I understood their need. Honestly at first in my re-watch I was into it. Do I like more or less having now seen the original? Both. In my first viewing I really liked the visuals, but was overall extremely disappointed.
This is sort of a re-review, since I did see this when it first came out, but at the time I had not seen the original Tron.
