Two thumbs up to the animators at Disney, excellent job boy. Stunning visual effects that take your breath away, captivating action sequences and wonderful costumes. The set designers deserve serious recognition for creating clean and visual impacting world. It is nice to see the Kevin Flynn's place of habitation to be a great combination of Victorian and modern.
But i am afraid that is all of the positives i can say about the movie. The movie starts fast and goes into familiar territory of reintroducing characters from the original Tron into the light, but it does not take sufficient enough time to cover the background story as to why, how, and so on. The brief explanations of how the new digital universe come to be are just that brief, they are not visually captivating, they are lucking a certain punch, they do not give me a defined historical time line. It almost feels like that the writes did good job of reintroducing the characters from the original Tron and then gave up.
The first action sequence in the arena is excellent, very visually stunning, the combination of colors and background is outstanding. But it is the only one, there is no more, the boys in the writing department forgot to add at least 2 more. The directors seriously should have broken down this movie into 2 movies and loaded it with 5 to 6 Matrix like action sequences. Dear directors and producers, you should have thought of that
