This is speaking from the viewpoint of someone who has never seen the original: Tron (2010) is all about the glitz and glamour. There's tons of bright lights, cool toys, and pretty girls. It's your typical sci-fi movie. Since the film is mainly focused on the visuals, the story loses out and the outcome is a recycled, lackluster storyline about revolution and us vs. them.
The acting is nothing to rave about. At times it's melodramatic but I guess that's what you get for a heavily CGIed film. However, Michael Sheen did stand out as Castor/Zuse. He was barely on screen but for the short time he was, he gave his character life and vivacity. He created a character that was interesting and had a back-story.
3D. At the beginning of the film, they tell you that only parts of the film will be in 3D, AKA. the gaming part. Tron is not a 3D movie. It's a movie that was made and then the word 3D was attached to it. Yes, it's one of those movies.
Overall, nostalgic fans of the original and sci-fi lovers will adore this film. For the rest of us, look for something else.
