ENTERTAINMENT: Tron: Legacy Is 3D Eye Candy!

Disney revisits Tron, in 3D no less, but critics aren't exactly bowled over by Tron: Legacy. (Critics' rating is 49% on Rotten Tomatoes, with fans at 83%.) It's got nifty special effects, including a digitally recreated Jeff Bridges from the 1980s, but not much else, at least according to those critics:

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: Like the original, it's "goofy," "eye-popping," and "weakly scripted," but "the sheer size of the thing works against it: The effects are absolutely spectacular, but they blow the goofy-cheesy quotient straight through the roof."

Calvin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: "Like Daft Punk's hotly anticipated electronica soundtrack, the film sparks to life only briefly. Instead of bringing virtual reality to life, Tron delivers only virtual entertainment."

Kyle Smith, New York Post: He likes. "For all of its buggy storytelling, Tron: Legacy plugs into your cerebral cortex and makes it sizzle." As for the digital Bridges: He "looks like a product of Madame Tussauds CGI Museum." This tech needs a few more years.
