Tron Legacy

As of the 3D, well. Most of the movie wasn't in 3D at all so I would say that it doesn't matter that much which version you see.

What? Mine had a couple minutes that wasn't 3D, they said that in the beginning, but the rest was all in 3D...

The Sound system of an IMAX theatre makes this move. MAKES IT!

There isn't a single IMAX theater in Sweden

I have big problem with this movie.

I have not seen it, I found the hype a big turn off, the trailers don't appeal to me. Plus I usually find big budget sfx heavy / story weak movies ultimately disappointing. Original Tron included.

Now here's my problem:-
I felt exactly the same about Avatar before I watched it, and I nearly didn't. When I did go in to see it I fully expected to hate it, still I would have seen it and could rubbish it with the benefit of knowing exactly what I was rubbishing.
To my surprised I didn't hate Avatar, quite the opposite.
So, should I try Tron Legacy? 

Archaic = Failed Avatar hater.

It's not Avatar, definitely not....but if you're the kind of person that's willing to overlook plot and just see a movie for graphics, I think you should see it.

Pretty failed indeed

I am not sure why the plot of TRON Legacy has been getting bashed, comparatively this is a pretty decently dramatic story as far as how it was conveyed.  A good deal more character depth than most movies in this vein.  

However, father son relationships have been rather thinly conveyed historically, and relegated to sports, hunting, camping, or fishing together.  In TRON, they hack together, or would have been hacking together, if the events of the story had not transpired the way they had.

As far as the special effects are concerned, they are present, and intriguing, but they are nothing more than an artistically conveyed stage for the moments in the story that take place.

It comes down to the types of stories that interest you.  

Spoiler: Plot Spoilers

The setting for TRON 1 & 2 is an alternate reality setting (VR Like), based on concepts of technology spontaneously manifesting AI, and playing with the possibility of empathy for AI or the varied emotions and motivations of AI in its reactions to Users.  

There are implications of religious parallels, some of the AI programs are even looking at users/humans as Gods, and forming religions, which teases out the effects of theological representations of unseen highly influential figures on a closed society.  The AI express reservation, resentment, and reverence towards users in complex ways that are delivered with a light touch early on, and then very bluntly near the end of TRON Legacy.

The Story is about Kevin Flynn and his obsession with making a mark on the world with his approaches to software engineering, and the consequences of his quest which culminate in the final act of the Second movie.

Overall, this story follows more classical and more slowly paced film making, regardless of the technological emphasis of its premise.
