We liked it too. The effects were pretty gosh darn amazing in IMAX 3-D. Almost overwhelming. The story.........pretty weak. I wish it had completely blown me away. It didn't, but we are glad we saw it.
Why wasn't there a cohesive and really appealing story? Why would you trust this to anyone other than an A-list director? It should have been incredible on all levels. Instead it was a C+ Film with A++++ effects. I would have liked to see Robert Zemekis do the movie. Or Bryan Singer.
It actually kind of reminded me of Transformers 2. Tron Legacy was a much better film that that incoherent mess, but it was much the same deal in that effects overwhelmed the whole experience. Only in Tron Legacy there was a story that we actually cared about. Sort of.
And the first 20 minutes or so were really promising. After that it was being dazzled became enough.
My wife, who was not with us, would have hated the film. And I think that past its fan base, Tron Legacy will have some troubles. Watchmen fizzled after its opening weekend. I fear the same will happen here. There just aren't enough fans to carry an average picture with a 250 million dollar budget to profitability.
I believe that Tron Legacy will fizzle out at about 200 million world-wide. And that Disney will never revisit the Tron universe again.
I hope I am wrong.
