Having never seen the original Tron movie, I didn't really know what to expect with this and I was really surprised by how much I like it.
This movie sees Sam Flynn as a wayward teenager rebelling against life, ignoring the company that his Father Kevin helped create due to the worldwide success of his arcade game Tron.
As Sam discovers what actually happened to his Father all those years ago he has to fight for both their lives and help Quorra escape the evil clutches of Clu and visually this is beautiful to watch.
Once Sam is in the game, everything takes on intense vibrant tones. The suits that all of the characters wear are strikingly beautiful and the actual battles are pure enjoyment.
I think it's really clever that they used a digital image for Clu as a younger version of Jeff Bridges and I like that you get to see how he was created.
Garrett Hedlund is brilliant as Sam who is literally thrown into this world and barely has time to take a breath and I really like Jeff Bridges  as Kevin Flynn and I love that he's trying to remove himself by becoming Zen-like. His home is also visually stunning with the antique furniture that counteracts the pure futuristic look of the world he inhabits.
Olivia Wilde's Quorra is my favourite character and she brings an effortless charm to her scenes as she helps Sam understand what her world is like.
Michael Sheen also gives a larger than life performance as Zues that is guaranteed to be remembered and the musical score performed by Daft Punk is beautifully rousing and matches the visuals.
Creative, stylish and clever, I'm definitely up for more of this!
