![]() Flynn has a young son named Sam, who he's regaled with stories of his exploits "on the grid," and he promises to take his wide-eyed son there one day. Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) has taken over Encom and with the help of Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner) has made the company wildly successful. Legacy is a sequel that starts out about seven years after the end of the first film. ![]() Those who love the original film (myself included) may be infected by a bit of movie nostalgia - it's not a great film, but it's entertaining enough and actually managed to explore some interesting concepts at a time where computers were still "new" to most people. If you've never seen the film and watch it for the first time today, you'll probably find yourself laughing at the "hokey" visual effects - but remember that back then they didn't have the advantage of being able to create virtual worlds via CGI motion-capture that could be translated into a computer-based character, etc. The original TRON was released way back in 1982, and at the time was considered groundbreaking for its use of computer graphics in a live-action film. It's obvious how much hard work and dedication went into the visual aspect of the film, but unfortunately that's about all it has going for it. It's been teased at the San Diego Comic-Con for three years in a row - where the footage shown wowed the crowd. TRON: Legacy has to be one of the most hyped, if not highly-anticipated movies of the year.
