Well, I saw it. I'll try to avoid a spoiler filled review. Wish me luck.

I liked it. I went with 4 others, so I can actually grant it so many stars out of 5 stars...one star for each person that liked it.

It gets 4 stars.

I thought it started a little disjointed and was wondering where it was all going at first. It got better. I felt it had less WOW to it than Legacy, but the story was a tad more touching and in deeper, though also shallower. The emotional impact was spread out between multiple characters (rather than the more focused point of Legacy) and I thought it worked well in the End.

My Significant other also saw it and liked it. They did not feel the beginning was disjointed and thought it was great.

Went with 3 grandkids. Tron Legacy came out when they were either really little or just born. Even if they were alive, they were too young to remember it's release.

One had never seen Tron before. She actually probably liked it the most out of everyone who saw the movie.

One watches Tron and Tron Legacy a LOT (and I mean...a LOT). They loved the movie.

The other one, his brother, did not like the movie. He did not extrapolate upon that. He just did not like it. He also watches Tron Legacy a lot simply because his brother watches it and he doesn't always have a choice.

So, there you have it, 4 out of 5 stars.

PS: I like the music better from Tron Legacy. That was one heck of a soundtrack. This one is not as good...IMO...obviously.

PPS: See this in IMAX. It is worth it. There were some parts that made me a little dizzy, but...see this in IMAX if you can.
 

PS: I like the music better from Tron Legacy. That was one heck of a soundtrack. This one is not as good...IMO...obviously.

The thing is that the TRON Legacy soundtrack is an all-timer, to the point where I almost consider the movie second to the soundtrack. It's like an album length video.

So no shade to TRON Ares, but that was never matchable. And ... I dunno, I didn't care for this. Gillian Anderson was wasted as the nag, Evan Peters tries but can't chew scenery like Martin Sheen did to light up the middle of Legacy, Ares just felt lifeless. There were a couple of sparks, I didn't hate the old Grid scene and the visuals were impressive. But seeing light trails in the real world wasn't the spice the makers clearly thought it was, and adding them to those staves in the hand to hand fights was a little much.
