I have to admit though, the CGI that makes Jeff Bridges young look jarring, but that is overshadowed by the compelling, groundbreaking special/visual effects that really bring you into the cybernetic world. Goodness me, this is quite possibly the best special effects I've seen all year, and that's saying something. No sir-ee, what you pay for - and what you get in spades - are the special/visual effects. Michael Sheen, Beau Garrett and Bruce Boxleitner (apparently returning to his role from the first film, so it seems) all give good support. Also, not forgetting some good (in Jeff Bridges' case, great as always as he plays two very different characters with perfect emotional resonance - proving that he still has the chops to carry a big movie) performances by the cast - with Garrett Hedlund showing great leading man potential and Olivia Wilde looking great and cute to boot. Nevermind too that the fantastic world and great ideas aren't expanded upon some more, as well as the fact that the script could use a little bit more originality. Nevermind the fact that the story is a bit unfocused and could be rounded up in a more polished way. With that kind of money you'll wonder what exactly was Disney hoping for with this film. Adding to the danger is the film's budget - reportedly between US$ 200 - 300 million. The first TRON had no famous franchise to speak of (apart from the real games inspired by it). Now keep in mind that Disney took a HUGE risk in making a sequel to a movie that is not very often talked about when it comes to movies as opposed to many blockbusters today. But, seeing that I didn't have time, I decided to watch the sequel anyway. Obviously I've heard from a lot of people saying that they need to see the first film before watching this one, seeing as this is a direct sequel to a nearly 30 year old cult sci-fi film.
Right off the bat I'm going to say that I didn't see the first film.
