Tron: Legacy (2010)

Virtual action film that pushes the boundaries of cinematic graphics.

As a sequel to the original Tron movie, this newest installment focuses on Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) who journeys into "The Grid" in search of his father Kevin (Jeff Bridges). Entering into a cyber war ground, Sam must find his father, and try and escape the grid before Clu (also Jeff Bridges) finds them, or worse, escapes himself.

The look of the film is ultra-modern, with fluorescent blues and oranges filling the screen, whilst the majority of the sets, landscapes and people are in black. It is a thrilling film, with some explosive action sequences, including an impressive motorcycle scene based on the original tron game, that had me on the edge of my seat. Daft Punk offer most of the soundtrack which goes superbly with the electronic buzz of the film.

Viewed in 3D, this film delivers a cinematic punch that has made an exciting start to the new year.
