Tron and Tron: Legacy came out recently and I have to say, they are very, very fun.  Watching these films again was a joy.  I was very worried that Tron: Legacy would lose its luster when it made the leap from the big screen to the small screen, but it maintained a high level of enjoyment for me.  And the Blu-ray conversion is absolutely flawless.  My advice is to turn your brain off and enjoy the hell out of this film on as big of a TV as you can find, just don’t try to make much sense of the story.  That’s not what Tron: Legacy was about.  Tron: Legacy was about a feast for the eyes in the digital world and it delivers, even on home video, with flying colors.

As much as I enjoyed Tron  I have to say, the original Tron film outmatches the sequel in just about every way. From story and heart to character and script, Tron was just head and shoulders a better film. The story certainly made more sense and there was this ambitious energy to it that made it perfect. The new film made little sense, though it was incredibly fun to look at. I’ve added both to my collection, but if you have to pick just one of these two to pick up, I’d go with the original. Aside from the fact that it’s hands down a better movie, it looks absolutely gorgeous on Blu-ray.

If it were me, I’d pick them both up, though.  You’ll love these movies all over again.
