I watched about half an hour of it and then switched off the TV. It was wasting my time. Saw the original as a young man of 24 in 1982. I found it shallow and childish even then, though I enjoyed the special effects and the plot concept of a virtual world, because computers were fresh and new then, nobody owned one at home, and few people had ever played or seen an arcade game of the sophistication represented in Tron, least of all me, and the Internet was pure science fiction in '82, looked forward to only by a few Heavy Metal readers, of which I was one. Tron '82 nicely tickled these fancies. But while the computing world has evolved a thousand percent in the thirty years since 1982, Tron Legacy has evolved only 1 percent beyond Tron. Tron Legacy is just plain flat-out boring, with a ludicrous script that's meaningless and all over the place. It depressed me that this is the impoverished level that American culture has stooped to feeding its youth with, the film's cultural subtext being that so-called 'vintage' computer games of only thirty years age be held in the same awe and historical significance as ancient Egypt, Rome, Homer and Shakespeare. God help America.
