Tron: The Tron franchise began in 1982 with the Walt Disney Pictures film Tron. It was followed by various videogame tie-ins, a comic series and the 2010 sequel Tron.

Reviewed by Kenneth Brown, March 2. Twenty- eight years. Twenty- eight long years. For the better part of three decades, Tron fans have been praying for a return to the Grid, hoping beyond hope that Disney would resurrect the cult- favorite film and take advantage of the revolutionary strides made in CG in the years since its debut. But rather than churn out a remake, reboot or reimagining, Disney went all- in and greenlit a full- fledged sequel; a daring, rarely pursued move that seemed less and less likely as the years passed. And the result - - a stunning visual spectacle featuring returning Tron stars Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner - - is as striking today as Tron was in 1.

Legacy certainly isn't going to satisfy everyone, particularly stiff- browed critics and purists with preconceived notions, but its strong performances, gorgeous special effects and thoughtful evolution of the original mythos will attract plenty of fans, new and old, to what is quickly becoming a viable franchise. The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? Motorcycles?

Were the circuits linked freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I would never see. And then, one day, I got in."In 1.

Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges, True Grit) disappeared, leaving behind a burgeoning company, a family and a promising future. Watch Overdrive Online Metacritic on this page. No note, no message, no reason given. Twenty years later, his son, a tech wiz named Sam (Garrett Hedlund, Country Strong), learns his father didn't simply walk out on him. As unbelievable as it seems, Flynn became trapped in a sprawling world of his own creation; a virtual realm ruled with an iron fist by his fallen angel avatar, Clu (also Bridges, albeit with a CG face- lift).

But the young man doesn't merely learn about his father's digital world, he's transported into it. Watch This Must Be The Place 4Shared there. Before he can get his bearings, Sam is forced to compete in a series of gladiator Grid games to the delight of a bloodthirsty crowd of Programs who believe their creators, the Users, are little more than absentee slavers. Sam escapes with the help of an unexpected ally though, a naive but beautiful program named Quorra (Olivia Wilde, House M. D.). Following her into the Outlands, a region of undeveloped desert on the outskirts of the Grid, he reunites with his father, now an exile in hiding.

Sam soon has to make a difficult choice: stay with his father or sneak into the heart of the city, uncover Clu's true intentions and fight his way to the data- stream portal that links both worlds. I'll give you two guesses as to which he chooses. Just as Flynn's world has evolved, so too has the Tron saga. Steven Lisberger's original film toyed with the idea of creators mingling with their creations, taking its cues from ancient Greek and Roman myths and the interactions between the gods and their subjects.

Legacy leaps into the future of that same society, examining a culturally and technologically advanced civilization that sees little value in deities, fairy tales and blind faith. In this self- sustaining virtual world - - a world in which isomorphic algorithms began emerging from the primordial data- ooze and gaining sentience on their own accord - - even the existence of the Users has been called into question. The Gnostic undertones are none- too- subtle, even more so than they are in The Matrix sequels, but each one injects welcome moral and philosophical conflict into a sequel that could have been nothing more than an oversimplified cash- in. Granted, screenwriters Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz never explore the resulting themes as fully as they should, nor is their world as cohesive or its mechanics as airtight as either one could be, but their concepts and execution are solid; thought- provoking even.

Not that other issues with the script aren't apparent. Kitsis and Horowitz's dialogue is serviceable as melodramatic genre jargon goes, but relies on far too many in- Grid one- liners. Poor Hedlund has to spit out gems like "I have a 3- inch version of you on my shelf," "why do I feel like I just got dumped on," "have a nice swim" and the requisite Reevesian "whoooaaa" on a regular basis, and Bridges and Wilde seem to be the only ones having as much genuine fun with the dialogue as they should be. Not that Hedlund should be faulted. His Sam is as complete a character as he is only because Hedlund imbues him with such fire and conviction, and the remaining cast's performances are uniformly excellent.) Several subplots are underdeveloped as well - - Encom's role, Clu's coup, the ISO genocide and Rinzler's backstory chief among them - - and a variety of in- Grid characters and locales feel more like afterthoughts than intuitive essentials.

Michael Sheen's Castor is an absolute blast, but his flamboyant, glam- rock personality is at strange odds with the established parameters of Legacy's icy digital denizens.) There isn't a moment though where any of it becomes an outright distraction; there are just a few too many plot points that aren't brought to a satisfying conclusion. But Legacy continually pits its ideas against its dazzling sights and sounds in a battle that almost always favors first- time feature film director Joseph Kosinski's visuals and Daft Punk's pitch- perfect electronic score.

Los Angeles, California - - Art Director Alberto Mielgo picked up his second award for his visually stunning work on the TRON: UPRISING animated series - - his first was awarded by ASIFA: The International Animated Film Society for Best Production Design in an Animated Television/Broadcast Production - - his Emmy, also in recognition of his Art Direction: Outstanding Individual Achievement In Animation.

West: Earlier this year you won an Annie Award for your work on TRON: UPRISING, now you have an Emmy - - how does it feel to have your work on the series acknowledged with these awards?"Mielgo: Recognition is always very encouraging and motivating.

These awards are as far as I can get in Art Direction, so unfortunately - - they make me feel like an unbearable prima donna! This show deserves attention - - and we are receiving it. Everybody has been working very hard, giving their time, souls and passion.

My name is on the statue, but these awards very much belong to all our dream team, now sadly dissolved around the world. West: Looking back on the series - - what was the most exciting thing artistically about working on it? Mielgo: The very early days, developing the show when I was by myself with Charlie Bean (Executive Producer and Director) and Robert Valley (Lead Character Designer) - - giving shape and style to this world. Working from scratch.

West: Since the series has now ended - - if TRON was to return to animation, what are your thoughts on how you'd like to see it further explored? Mielgo: The series already has a great amount of rules now in style. And according to the audience, it works. I wouldn't go away from this look at all, but I would definitely explore new locations… In terms of story, who knows what's going to happen with these characters dramatically now waiting in "a box"..!
