Tron: Legacy

A good looking film. A weak story. Not much opportunity to act. Jeff Bridges is stuck in the grid which is essentially the digital landscape of a video game (and has been for 20 years). His son is a chip off the old block and gets into the grid (a bit accidentally) and is brought into a plot to allow the programs to escape the grid and join the real world. There are a couple of good video game scenes with the light cycles and disc fights, but the bulk of this film is either back story from the original Tron, or angst about the creation and evolution of the grid. Not really very entertaining.
2 stars (out of 5)
