Tron Legacy - 7 stars out of 10

Tron Legacy - 7 stars out of 10

"Tron Legacy" is everything that the original "Tron" aspired to be.  Creating a digital world unlike anything that you've ever seen, you will be transported inside with Flynn and never look back.  From the opening computerized Disney logo, you know that the special effects will be a feast for the eyes.  The story is average and the acting isn't anything that will blow your mind, but the Light Cycle Race says it all.  The video game that we all know is elevated to a new level (literally and figuratively) in this incredibly designed multi-level arena.  Computer-enhanced young Jeff Bridges bothered me at first but once I got used to it, I was able to appreciate his dual-role in this film.  It was nice to see Olivia Wilde's bright, wide eyes burst onto the scene in a performance reminiscent of Carrie Ann Moss in "The Matrix."  I hope to see a lot more of her in the future.  Though the expectation for this film includes amazing special effects, they will still blow you away as you're transported to this digital world.
