Yeah, seriously. I went to see Legacy with some friends of mine. Their review was vastly different from mine.
To sum their's up it was: "Holy S**T!! AMAZING special effects, it just LOOKS FANTASTIC, but the story was lacking."
I tend to hear that alot, there is a huge story here. We find out what happened to Flynn!!! We get to meet his son, his family. You get to visit Encom again and get brought up to speed with that they've been working on... CLU and how he was created this time around, The ISO's potential, there's just so much story maybe it's too much? I truly don't know. To give you an idea, someone I know once said to me: "Dude, I could put dog s**t on a stick, call it Tron and you'd love it." I said: "Yeah, probably true, wouldn't go QUITE that far, but yeah, I love everything TRON!"
Anyway, the original movie was a rather huge and profound part of my childhood. I was 9 when Tron came out and I remember my dad taking us to go see it and it just blew me away. I already was tinkering with writing programs (albeit in BASIC) and I for sure played games so the idea of programs running around intrigued me. The MCP also struck a chord with me as I was always wondering what AI was, how it worked, etc.
I'd be willing to go as far as to say, without Tron as an influence in my life, I'm not sure what I'd be doing right now. Ever since I can remember I've always had a facination with computers, specifically giving them instructions, Tron opened my eyes to a completely different world, one that sealed the deal and a code hacker, I will always be.
I feel very at home here, so many posts here all full of passion for Tron, it's awsome to see. Thank you everyone for sharing your home with me.
