I Tron, You Jane
Directed by JOSEPH KOSINSKI
Starring JEFF BRIDGES, GARRETT HEDLUND, OLIVIA WILDE,
BEAU GARRETT, BRUCE BOXLEITNER, and MICHAEL SHEEN
With all the mixed reviews that 'Tron' has received, I have not been excited to see it. That said, I liked it. I'm not sure if I was pleasantly surprised because my expectations were low or if it was actually a decent film.
Tron: Legacy started out strong. The only major drawback in the film was Jeff Bridges' cgi makeup reversion. Instead of using regular theatrical makeup, they used CGI to make him a younger version of himself, which frankly looked like contrived crap.
Two highlights of the film were the non-Jeff Bridges' visual effects and the music. The visual effects were stunning and a definite reminder that we are not in 1982 anymore. The music was equally stunning. It was a wonderful mixture of sci-fi classical and electronic/trance. A truly beautiful sci-fi combo. I read somewhere that the composer, Daft Punk, used Hans Zimmer as an inspiration--very good choice.
