★★★★★ Rewatched 1/10/26
As a lover of the Tron universe, I happened to at the theatre on opening weekend to see this new chapter. Visually stimulating, this film was amazing on the big screen but I felt I was more in awe over it than watching for the sake of movie watching.
Now that the film is available on streaming, I needed a rewatch so I could focus more on the film than the visuals.
This is a story of good vs evil, like most of them. It revolves around two companies looking for Flynn’s original coding, so they could solve the problem of permanence. All of their digital reproductions disintegrate in 29 minutes.
While the film is a full two hours long, it doesn’t feel like it because it is non-stop action from start to finish. As a Disney film, you automatically think family fun but it views more like a Marvel movie than Disney.
The story is complete. While it is left open to another installment, I doubt there will be another one. The costs were high and the return was low—yet, wasn’t that for every Tron movie in the franchise?
The score was masterful from Nine Inch Nails, just as Daft Punk’s was to Tron: Legacy. There just isn’t anything I didn’t like about this movie. For me, it had everything.
