This season, one of the most awaited sci-fi movies is the sequel to the 1982 cult classic Tron and fanboys are dying to watch Tron Legacy online. This marks the return of the glowing neon lights lined everywhere, the sleeker flying laser discs, and the ultra-cool Light Cycles. But unlike the first film, Walt Disney Pictures has splurged on the upcoming film after they ballooned the budget to a reported $175 million for production cost.
In 1982, Tron was made only with $17 million and the technology to pull off such an ambitious project did not exist then. Heck, the internet was not even discovered then. With the word cyberspace just been coined when the film was released, it did not make such an impact at the box office. But it achieved cult classic status when people began the idea of the virtual reality is injected in the cultural phenomenon. Now, when you watch Tron Legacy online, expect it to be more futuristic and with way better special effects and the fight sequences grander.
Following 25 years when the first film took off, the sequel shows Kevin Flynn went on to create the world with infinite possibilities. And in 1989, he suddenly disappeared leaving his son on his own son, Sam. And after more than a decade of searching, Sam got a signal that gave him an idea where to find his father. When he went to the old Flynn’s Arcade, he was suddenly transported inside the virtual world, Tron, which his father had created. But the cyperspace he made had evolved bigger and greater that he had already lost control. And now, his alter-ego CLU 2 will do just about anything to keep them from leaving the digital universe which is filled with impressive buildings, ultra-modern vehicles, and high-tech weapons.
The film is set to hit theaters this December 17 or you can watch Tron Legacy online.
