By the time he escapes back into the real world, the movie is over. The lead character is sucked into the digital world. The movie follows the same basic structure as the first film. There could have been more characters, more development all around. I was disappointed because there could have been so much more. That’s not why I was disappointed, though. The plot of the original Tron revolves around Flynn’s quest to prove his best creation was stolen from him, and at the end of the original he takes it back and becomes so wealthy that he wrests control of Encom from its board and executives.

Certainly, the first Tron was interested in opening up the channels of communication to share information freely, but Kevin Flynn in the original Tron was not interested in giving his software away, as the new film suggests. But that’s not really what the original was about. Tron: Legacy takes some casual swipes at Microsoft and the profiteering of software companies, seeming to take the side of the open source movement. The new movie did forget some of the original, as well, but only in spirit. The metaphysics of the original are expanded in some interesting ways, but the director seems to be much more interested in creating a stylized universe than guiding that universe on its path and answering questions about where it might be going.

There is more to the story than what you see in a 60-second TV spot, of course, but there are no significant surprises, and that’s fine. If you’ve seen the commercials, you know the plot.
I’m not going to bother rehashing the plot of Tron: Legacy here. It doesn’t pave new ground the way its predecessor did, but it refines the original style in a way that’s fresh and exciting. It’s inventive and unique, both in style and substance. What alternate reality science fiction movie doesn’t borrow from The Matrix these days? But Tron: Legacy isn’t as derivative as its predecessor. I was correct in my review of the original movie that the new film would borrow heavily from the style and character of the Matrix films, especially the second in the Matrix trilogy. It didn’t take itself as seriously as Star Wars or, heaven forbid, The Matrix. But with the older film fresh in my mind, these bits and pieces added some nuance to the new film, and helped to sculpt the characters a little better. You certainly won’t understand why the sage-looking Flynn acts more like The Dude from The Big Lebowski than the Obi Wan Kenobi he more closely resembles (though not by much). You might not remember the original Clu, Jeff Bridges’ doppelganger character.
Without the original close in your rearview mirror, you might not understand the significance of the young Dillinger who sits on the board of Encom, the company at the heart of the digital world. Even more so, there is the overall tone and style of the original, pervasive through the new movie, but updated and polished to a dazzling sheen. There are references sprinkled throughout. There are a few shared characters, but they have changed dramatically since the last time we saw them, almost 30 years ago. The new movie is a completely new story, set in a new digital world. Not that there is any necessity in remembering the original plot. I was happy throughout the movie that I watched the original 1982 film less than a week before I saw the new edition. If you are a fan of the original movie, and by that I don’t mean a fan of the impression the original left in your head two decades ago, or a fan of the video games that cemented Tron in the technogeek zeitgeist, or even a fan of Tron Guy, I mean a fan who remembers the original movie well, then you will love the new Tron: Legacy.
Certainly, I didn’t bother for the new Star Wars fiasco, or the subsequent Indiana Jones debacle. I don’t know if I’ve ever bothered to see a movie at midnight the night before it opened. It says even more that at 8:30 PM on a Thursday night, I downed two shots of espresso and headed out to see a midnight showing. It says something that it wasn’t until this drive home that I realized the movie might have been disappointing in retrospect.
