1. Quality

2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   Jeff Bridges is a virtual world designer who mysteriously disappears. Years later, his young son exploits a clue and enters that virtual world to find him. This movie’s highlight is the sci-fi effects of living in a virtual world, and the results are fairly impressive, albeit with some glitches – like the fabrication of a young clone of Jeff Bridges that never comes off quite right. Don’t look to make too much sense of the story-line, just enjoy it for the effects, skin-tight suit clad women, and cool action scenes with futuristic motorcycles.

4. Acting

   Barely OK 2.0

   Jeff Bridges seems a bit like a fish out of water in this film. He’s much better suited for more true-to-life dramas like “Crazy Heart”. I was grimacing at cheesy lines like “you’re messin’ with my zen”, which clearly had no place in a sci-fi movie.

5. Male Stars Barely OK 2.0

6. Female Stars Barely OK 2.0

7. Female Costars Barely OK 2.0

8. Male Costars Barely OK 2.0

10. Film

    OK 2.5

    You can’t fault Kosinski too much for this Tron sequel. After all, it’s about marketing to the right audience. I wasn’t the right audience, but they are out there.
