TRON: Elegy
I went to Google.com, as I'm apt to do, and was met with the words "Steve Jobs, 1955-2011" written under the search bar. I mentioned the man only days ago in a post on TRON: Legacy.

So... we was watching VCDs 3
TRON: Legacy (2010), man. How the hell can something this cool come from Disney?
Jeff Bridges stars as Kevin Flynn, a Steve Jobs type of IT visionary who has found a way for people to physically enter and roam the grid as packets of information. Flynn, however, gets trapped inside the electronic world and it's up to his son, Sam (Garrett Hedlund), to save the day with the help of Quorra (Olivia Wilde), a grid local, shall we say.
A battle then erupts between good and evil that plays out against a futuristic soundtrack and a lavish backdrop of which combination renders the whole experience as trippy as The Wizard of Oz, as epic as Star Wars, and as original as The Matrix. The only blemish I find, however, is the casting of Michael Sheen as Castor – that part seems to be made with David Bowie in mind.
I rooted for Bridges in Starman (1984). He's paid his dues and this is sweet pay-off.
(Running time: 125 minutes)
