Tron: Legacy Update

I finally went and saw Tron: Legacy, and I enjoyed it immensely. It had action, special effects and a plot to follow it through. I can see why Roger Ebert says in his review of the film that the plot is “a catastrophe, short-changing the characters and befuddling the audience.” Though to contrast that statement in Tron: Leacy’s defense, the audience is supposed to be confused, because the main character, Sam Flynn, is confused. Sam struggles to find out where he is, and where his father is; not to mention he needs to find a way out amongst it all. I kept trying to find other reviews that side with mine, and “came up short.” USA Today's Claudia Puig says, “the cutting-edge visuals and an exciting motorcycle chase compensate somewhat for TRON's listless man-vs.-machine story line.” I guess in most cases people find Tron: Legacy to be nothing but glitz and glamour.
