Better than the Original. I always had mixed feelings about the original 1982 Disney movie TRON. On one hand it was the most stunning visual master piece ever created for a major motion picture. On the other hand the visuals were so great that at times you couldn't keep up with the story because your eyes and attention kept wanting to focus on the visuals, and thus causing you to lose pace with the story. The original TRON was one of those movies that I didn't necessarily like, but while at the same time I didn't dislike it either.
When I learned that Disney was making a sequel to TRON (28 years later), I almost didn't believe it, I assumed it would be a reboot or a remake of the original rather than a true sequel. Well I was wrong. It's a true sequel, and it greatly surpasses the original in every scope.
I'm pleased to say that everything that the first TRON movie got wrong, this one got right. This one is easier to follow and makes far more sense than the first one did. Once again the visuals are mind blowing to look at. Also loved the way they created a younger version of Jeff Bridges with CGI.(they should have gotten an academy award for that). The light-cycles are just as fun to watch today as they were in 1982, only this time you fully understand what's going on (unlike the 1982 original where you didn't have clue what was going on, but damn, it sure looked pretty). I even liked the Electronic-Discothèque music used in the movie, it fits perfect with the elements of the film. Even the story for this movie is plausible and good. I actually liked the overall look of this film much better than the Square-ish Cartoon-ish look of the original. I though the chemistry between the actors was good. A solid good cast. I loved Jeff Bridges in the dual role. This movie was just fun, a lot of fun.
I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes Science Fiction, Superheroes, and Video Games, all of whom should enjoy this movie a lot. (((( I know I sure did.
