Tron Legacy – Thursday 9th October 2025

This film has one of the best soundtracks ever! That was immediately obvious when it was released. The story, however, didn’t quite hit the notes. ‘Sam’, the protagonist, just wasn’t as compelling as his father.

I liked this film when I first watched it, but I wasn’t blown away. Consequently, this was the first time I rewatched it since I first saw it in the cinema, all the way back in 2010!
Man, this film is SO much better than I remembered!

Yes, the digital Jeff Bridges still looks completely plastic (as he did in 2010), but everything else in the film is SO much better than most modern movies!

The aesthetic is practically a work of art. All the design work; sets, costumes, vehicles, they’re all superb!
The combination of an amazing soundtrack with amazing visuals, is.. amazing! It’s so enjoyable to behold!

The story doesn’t seem as weak as it first did (times have changes, the bar is now lower), and although ‘Sam’ still isn’t as interesting as ‘Flynn’, he’s interesting enough. Olivia Wilde completely fits into the ‘visually appealing’ aesthetic of the film.

It’s not difficult; create beautiful visuals, and populate them with attractive actors! Yet, time and time again, Hollywood fails to grasp this basic concept!

Anyway, I really enjoyed revisiting this film. A rare case of it being so much better than I remembered!
