Kosinski touches on more themes than he ever knows what to do with.
The Holocaust, evil doppelgangers, mad scientists, God complexes, a paradise lost. Best thing to do? Just don’t think too hard about any of it.Īpparently having moved into the room visited by Bowman at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kevin claims the ISOs – the miraculous nano-life that magically, organically created inside this computer world – hold the key to all humanity. Unfamiliar with the original movie? You’re going to feel a little lost.Įven hardcore Tron-heads will be scratching scalp at certain points. Kevin Flynn is a fugitive trapped inside the digital world by his own avatar CLU, an evil doppelganger who now controls The Grid. And that’s when the gloss on this brave new world starts to crack. It’s a while before we’re given a second to figure out what’s going on. Meanwhile, Daft Punk’s score paints its own sombre, synthy soundscapes, pumping vibe and life into cold, hard surfaces of Tron ’s world. This is an architect’s mind at work – Kosinski’s background – and he proves himself a highly imaginative level designer. What’s more, the human actors all exist seamlessly in this CG environment. Leaving behind mesmerising liquid ribbons of light as they surge around a multi-level arena, the cycles are beyond cool. Which is like a lethal game of air hockey (just one of Tron Legacy's classic-arcade game nods), as black-suited Capoeira-style foes send electric frisbees ricocheting around a glassy area.īut the new-look light-bike battle royale is something else. For the first 20 minutes on The Grid, Legacy ’s velocity is thrilling: Sam is abducted, suited in neon-ribbed body armour, loaded into a gladiatorial stadium and hurled into a disc fight. Īlthough curiously, unavoidable echoes of Blade Runner seem to lie everywhere: otherworldly women, elevators to the heavens, charred skies even one character’s haircut is pure Rutger Hauer. It’s stunning, seductive and uniquely Tron. Upgraded in breathtaking style by Kosinski’s team, this stormy, apocalyptic city is a fearful, magnificent world of dark space, reflective surface and searing light.

You can have a relationship with God by trusting in his son. If your answer is “no” please take the time to look into the claims of Jesus and his life death and resurrection. If your answer is “yes” then you are part of God’s restoring this world and yours to perfection something that Kevin Flynn couldn’t do. This leaves you with a few questions:ġ) Do you know/love God as your Father/Creator?Ģ) Is your relationship with God restored via Jesus the Light of the World?ģ) Have you accepted Jesus’ sacrifice that brings you rescue/salvation from sin and evil? And unlike Tron this story actually happened. This is the gospel the legacy handed down to us today. Tron is fiction but the gospel is reality Along the way sacrifices are made with the Son Jesus sacrificing his life on the cross to save a rebellious people like us.
God’s rescue plan involves a long dangerous journey from Abraham in Genesis 12 all the way through to Jesus the light of the world ( John 8:12) in the New Testament. Relationships are broken left right and center especially humanity’s relationship with God.
As a result of sin entering into the world we see the horror of broken relationships and the importance and priority of relationships restored ( Genesis 4-11). There are no unforeseen creatures like ISO’s and yet evil appears destroying the perfection that God made ( Genesis 3). In it God is the Father/Creator not with the help of Tron or Clu but in partnership with Jesus and the Holy Spirit ( Genesis 1-2). Along the way sacrifices are made with the Father sacrificing himself in order to save his Son and his world of origin. The rescue/salvation involves a long dangerous journey and is finally achieved via a beam of light. The horror of broken relationships and the importance and priority of relationships restored are key themes. In Tron’s digital world there is a creation account complete with a Father/Creator Kevin Flynn and the explanation of the presence of evil “Clu”. Tron Legacy is another visually spectacular movie” which has all the plot elements of a classic tale.
