Tron: Legacy (2010)

Way better than I’d expected.
The premise might be stupid but the story is not too bad, and there’s a huge difference between a premise and a story. The art direction was spectacular and the soundtrack is beautifully done. One can tell that many shots, angles and movements of the “camera” were intended for IMAX screen. It’s a pity that I watched it in a standard (rather small) auditorium, but there’s no way I could sit through two hours of 3D without my head exploded.
The first hour was great, and then it slowed down. There were some parts that, in my opinion, were unnecessary. But I figured since they spent so much on it, it’s totally understandable that they couldn’t bear to get rid of any of it.
It’s a visual feast I really enjoyed.
ps. I had to say the trailers they showed before the movie got me worried. You can usually tell if the movie would fit your taste by its preceding trailers, and man were there some terrible ones. The titles of some of them are horrible by themselves, e.g. Real Steel and Cowboys & Aliens. Fortunately, there was Thor to save the day. I’m so looking forward to it.
