Escaping to a blue world

Photobucket

Recently my husband and I went to see the new Tron movie in 3D at IMAX. I could not get over how excited I was to hear they were making a new one and just had to see it on the massive screen. When I was a kid, the original Tron movie transfixed me. Its sense of place, its artificial yet real world, grabbed me. I was scared and fascinated and excited, moved to the edge of my seat. Tron took me somewhere and blew my mind.

To go again as an adult with even better special effects was total bliss for me. I agree with my sister Shannon's review, the only thing missing was more Bruce Boxleitner. I love that guy! Maybe it wasn't the deepest movie in the whole world but there was substance in this blue world. Watching the games with that amazing sound system perfecting this 3D world, was like getting to eat a chocolate cake for two hours. I ate all the visuals, all the sound effects up and left reality for a while. The perfect escape, how I have needed that.

A little taste of my childhood did not disappoint. For me, Tron: Legacy was a total treat.
