Disney is bringing Tron back to the big screen with Tron: Legacy, which will be available in Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D at certain locations. The Disney Digital 3D effects in the recent Pixar flick, UP, was the best 3D experience that I have had (See UP 3D Review). While the old Tron film is quite dated, the following trailer shows how far the Tron concept has come in nearly 30 years.
UP 3D had a very subtle use of 3D effects, which was very effective. Hopefully, we’ll get the same treatment in Tron Legacy 3D, but with more wizwow thanks to the sci-fi setting and action sequences that were absent from UP.
The new Tron Legacy film clearly has the old Tron at its heart, but is so much more polished thanks to the technological advances along the way. I don’t really care much for the original Tron in terms of its dialogue and storytelling. Hopefully, those aspects will be improved as well.
Tron Legacy is set some 25 years after the original Tron, where Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), who is the son of Kevin Flynn from the original Tron (role reprised by Jeff Bridges), finds his way into the program world and is reunited with his dad. Together, they must navigate their way across the program environment to escape it once and for all.
