Tron legacy soundtrack journey movie#
Like so many other spectacle films-including its own predecessor, 1982’s Tron -the movie is a showcase for new breakthroughs in CGI technology, including the techniques used to achieve its unique look. And Tron: Legacy could easily be lumped among them, were it not for its unique aesthetics. The year 2010 gave us a wealth of messy, family-friendly, CGI-heavy adventure movies: Alice in Wonderland, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, The Last Airbender, and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, to name but a few. All of which is to be expected from a typical action blockbuster: heavy special effects with only perfunctory attempts to make the characters appear human. The plot, which essentially boils down to “Garrett Hedlund gets sucked into a computer,” is needlessly convoluted.
The dialogue is cerebral, stilted and mismatched: they talk about genetic algorithms and digital frontiers, deresolution and rectifying, all without blinking-or else they quote Zen proverbs as explanations for their actions. The characters are painted thinly with broad strokes, reduced to the singular characteristics that identify them-Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) is a daredevil, Quorra (Olivia Wilde) a mysterious waif, Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) a distant father, Clu (also Jeff Bridges) a single-minded megalomaniac. In discussions about inherently flawed movies, Tron: Legacy can be an easy target.
