Tron: The Next Day

Sam Flynn, the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn, looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 20 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant Quorra, father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous. Meanwhile, the malevolent program CLU, who dominates the digital world, plans to invade the real world and will stop at nothing to prevent their escape. —ZootCatchy

Trivia
The crowd voices during the disk battle in the beginning of the movie are actually the voices of the audience during the panel for the film at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con. The audience was instructed to stomp and chant to prompts shown on the large video screen, and the sound was recorded by techs from Skywalker Sound.

Goofs
Flynn's Arcade was supposedly locked up when Kevin Flynn disappeared in 1989. However when Sam is walking through the arcade, one of the machines is Mortal Kombat (1992) which was not released until 1992.

Quotes
Kevin Flynn: Life has a way of moving you past wants and hopes.

Crazy credits
At the beginning of the movie, the title only says "TRON". Not until during the ending credits does the name "Legacy" get included in the title when it reappears.

Touching Spectacle

It's not highly likely to win many new converts, but for those who already like the original and want to see more of that world, it more than satisfies. The visuals are a wonderful evolution from Tron and the story of a father and son who have to make up for lost time is very touching. The CGI face they developed for Jeff Bridges is not perfect, but it works very well with just a few exceptions and I feel, for my own tastes, that they have actually bridged the uncanny valley with this one. Still a bit of work to get it perfect, but this one works as it is. Oh, and the score by Daft Punk is beautiful. The first thing my brother and I did after leaving the theater was buy the sound track on the way home. It's very suggestive of the original but with plenty of today's newer sensibilities mixed in.
