Tron: Legacy (Four-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy) [3D Blu-ray]
R**!
An excellent sequel to a great classic film!
The original Tron movie is one of my all-time most favorite movies ever. I saw the original Tron movie on the big screen back in 1982 and I was really wowed by it. Here was a movie about a young computer programmer and video game designer named Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) who gets trapped inside of a computer world and must survive against his very own creations. How cool is that for a movie storyline? Plus, I could really relate to this movie because back in those days I used to go to the video game arcade all of the time. In fact, in the same shopping center where I first saw Tron, there was also a video game parlor located there named Time Zone Arcade where I spent a lot of Friday evenings playing the newest video games before going to see the latest movies. Even now, 28 years later at the theater where I watched Tron:Legacy this last December, I played Ms. Pac Man, and Galaga in the theaters game section just before seeing the movie. It was like Deja Vu. Anyway, I absolutely loved the new Tron: Legacy movie. It was everything that the first movie was and so much more.To think that some 28 odd years later after the release of the first Tron and here I was seeing a big-budget sequel on the big screen featuring the return of two of its original stars, Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner and, well...Wow, I practically had to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. I never would have thought that there would ever be a sequel made to this movie in my wildest dreams. During its theater run I managed to see Tron: Legacy 4 times, twice in 3D, and twice the regular version, and I would have seen it at least a couple more times if I could have. This movie is awesome and really entertains you. It is films such as this one that I go to movie theaters for in the first place, to see big, epic, larger-than-life action adventure movies loaded with wild and interesting characters, great action sequences, spectacular special effects, and lots of fun, and this movie delivered all of that and more in Spades.The only negative that I can give the film is that I did not think the 3D looked all that impressive. Of course I only saw this movie in a regular theater, I did not see it in IMAX, which I have heard the 3D looked much better in IMAX. But I digress, this review is not about the 3D Blu-Ray DVD, only the standard Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack of which I own. EDIT: As of 12-17-2011 I am now the proud owner of the 3D Blu ray version of the film and let me tell you, it looks absolutely stunning! I really was surprised at how so much better the 3D in this movie looks at home. If you are considering obtaining the 3D version of this film, do not hesitate. It looks very impressive.But, besides all of that, this movie still rocks whether viewed in 3D or not. All I can say is if you enjoy big epic Sci Fi action adventure movies as much as I do then you should definitely see this film. Trust me, they do not get much bigger or more epic than this.

Excellent Movie - Well Made In All Regards
This movie is very well made. Perfect casting, excellent visuals, amazing score, great story. It's simply a well made movie, and the effort from everyone involved shows.Jeff Bridges makes this movie stand out with his performance(s). Garrett Hedlund did an outstanding job, especially with how demanding the role was mentally and physically. Olivia Wilde was cast perfectly in playing the naive, yet intelligent and capable character Quorra.The visuals are amazing, and they stand on their own. I'm someone who's easily put off by excessive CGI in movies (Indiana Jones 4 was terrible, the CGI brought it down even further), but Tron: Legacy is a movie where CGI actually helps make the movie, as it takes place in a digital world (Star Wars Episodes I - III however does not take place in a digital world, hence it looked bad, and the technology used to film those movies wasn't as advanced as it is today, just as an example of where I'm coming from).The score was amazing. When I found out it was Daft Punk who scored the music, I was taken back after realizing who they were. I'm not a fan of their other work, but I do have respect for them after hearing their work for this movie. The music worked flawlessly with each scene, as it added to the emotional situation perfectly.The story was perfect. A touch of a Nazi Germany theme along with a father son story in the middle helped make this movie very much enjoyable.I went into watching this movie for the first time expecting an excessively high level of quirkiness and lameness (I was not familiar with the Tron series before seeing this). I also expected that those who made this movie might have approached it as a money making project where I'd only see a "cookie cutter" like movie (Example: The Pirates of the Caribbean movies) - I'm very glad I was wrong, and I'm also glad that I gave this movie a chance; a well deserved/earned chance.Finally - I'm accustomed to people making comments on reviews for DVDs/Blu-rays in stating that they only want a review of the product, the product being the format alone, not the actual film/story. In response to anyone who is tempted to make such a comment (I know you're out there), this IS a review of the product, as I bought the movie, I didn't just buy a blu-ray. But to make you happy, here's the reivew you're looking for - It looks really good on 3D Blu-ray......end of line.
