Tron Lebowski

 GREETINGS PROGRAMS...!

So last night I saw the new Tron Legacy and I have to say...Frakin Awesome!  Visually, the film was stunning, but surprisingly the story was not bad either.  Now this isn't to say I was expecting a Harold and Kumar go to "The Grid" but there was much more depth to both the overall story and the characters.

On many occasions sequels can be quite disappointing, point and case the fourth Indian Jones Installment.  Rocky V, and of course Star Trek Nemesis.  But once and while we get lucky and with Tron Legacy my friends...we were quite lucky!  Like all Disney films this one was no different.  The story was based and focused around the core love and bond that a father and son share with one another.  The writers, however, were witty and in my opinion true fan boys of the original film.

TRON never attained "blockbuster" status and rightfully so...when a film's underlying message is anti-establishment and information should be free and open sourced it doesn't look good if it makes a killing for the studio that produced it.  Luckily, that didn't happen, but what did happen was a revolution and creation of dreams that has manifested itself in many different forms...APPLE Computers please stand up...I find it poetic and ironic that the sequel to a film like TRON is released as the world and especially the US is recovering from the greed and unchecked aggression of the very establishment it was fighting against in the original film.

The Dude definitely abides TRON style in Tron Legacy.  Jeff Bridges does a superb job reprising his role as Kevin Flynn and for all those Lebowski fans he is does not miss a a beat throwing in his dudeisms at appropriate times.  Who would have ever planned for Jeff Bridges to become such a cult icon and embrace the anti-hero we all love and know Jeffery Lebowski. 

In short my friends...go see TRON Legacy...I don't care what the critics say...it is a great film that re-kindles the awesome sentiment of anti-establishment and visually reminds us how far ahead of its time TRON really was when it was released.  GO and enjoy the Experience!
