Sitting down to watch movies together isn't the easiest thing to do in our house. Riley's asleep, so we need to keep the noise down a bit; Chloe's going home at 2pm, so it needs to be finished before then; there's no way Natalie is going to sit through a 2+hr movie, so we have to be prepared for her to annoy the other kids; Douglas is just excited to watch it, so he sits where he's told, and we didn't hear a peep out of him for the whole movie.
I know I've seen the original TRON movie, but can't remember much about it, but TRON Legacy starts with the end of the first movie, so you don't need to have seen it. Jeff Bridges plays Kevin Flynn (and gee, hasn't he aged well!), who has been lost for twenty years on the grid. His son Sam Flynn (played by Garrett Hedlund) gets a message from his dad via a former business associate, and accidentally ends up on the grid as well. They find each other, with the help of Quorra (Olivia Wilde)... and you'll have to watch the movie to find out what happens next.
The visual effects and sound track were amazing - Steve said "better than the first one",Chloe said "wow, it's so well done." Douglas' comment was "pretty good... it was so, so, so, so, so, so cool" (yes, he's an almost-ten-year-old-boy), and Natalie really didn't sit still after the first twenty minutes.
TRON Legacy is available on Disney DVD & Blu-Ray on April 20th.

The Breakfast Club :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Angella...
ReplyDeleteIt has be be my all-time favourite 80's movie "The Breakfast Club". John Hughes really left a with a cliff-hanger on that one and it kills me that I don't know what happened with my much-loved characters after that Saturday in detention! :)
E.T. I'd love to know what happened to him after he left earth.
ReplyDeleteLabyrinth. I don't much care what happened to Sarah, but I wouldn't mind another two hours of David Bowie in those tights. :D
