Synopsis

Dillinger's family is back trying to make a master control program. But their AI isn't listening and their hunt for the permanence code has Flynn's new CEO on the run.

Review

The first thing I have to talk about is the music. It was both this throw back to movies like Wanted and Underworld, but with the modern overhaul. I really enjoyed it. However, the movie sound engineer needs to be fired. I would have missed probably 25% of the movie’s dialogue or more because the balance sucked. Thank God I turned on subtitles.

I actually think this might be Jared Leto’s best film. He also plays a flat, toned, personality and because he comes from the grid, it makes sense. You also have Athena who is played by the Dr. from The Agency so that was cool to see. She is alright, but her character was just so stupidly written.

Can we talk about the action in this movie? The idea of things coming from the Grid to the real world, I’m on board for. However, I don’t know if I can get on board with a flying square and light beams that are both able to cut a car in half and have bounce to them. How do the physics of those things make any sense. In the grid sure, but real world? Nope. I can see the argument that the lasers are able to build DNA, so things like trees work, but you can fly a square with 4 boosters the size of a manhole cover I don’t think.

My Rating

This movie is very entertaining. Good music, fun action, but it just had some odd character decisions. I like the full circle moments that showed up in the movie bridging Tron and Tron Legacy together with this. It is this bow that makes me feel like while they did leave an opening for another movie, it won’t come out anytime soon, if at all. It’s good airplane movie making it a 7.

Parental Rating

I am not sure how they would feel about this. There is violence and some language. I don't remember and sex or nudity so that is good. I think the content just isn't something my mom would watch, but I think my dad would be all about it. With that in mind, I am going to say approved by Dad and rejected by Mom.
