Yeah the change of heart seemed rather sudden, unexplained and rushed.

I watched TRON:Legacy earlier today.

I loved the visuals and effects in the film but the plot was a bit 'messy.' I would say check it out!

The video game, TRON Evolution is also a mixed bag. It's incredibly pretty but let down by pretty elementary control issues. Even has a scene from the movie in it, fleshing out CLUs insurrection storyline.

Releasing a platform game with control problems is a bit lame. It's like you're running on rails, but if you miss the 'rail' node odd things can happen. I saw a Unity script with similar problems so I wonder if it's based on the same thing.

Might be worth picking up the novelisation for this just to fill in the missing bits of the movie.

Oh, xmass dinner is ready.

Is "messy" your euphemism for an plot that had more holes than swiss cheese? wink

makes perfect sense...but the other night I remembered that "The Black Hole", maketed to kids in the 1980's, actually had a pretty dark plot to it...even if they had cutesy robots.

Ouch!

Seems like movies are increasingly "hit or miss" these days...must be stressing out studio chairs!

Skipping it!

I have read enough to know that I really don't care to see this one at all.

The music in the new film was pretty good but nowhere near as timeless as the music composed by Wendy Carlos for the original Tron IMHO.
