When the original “Tron” came out, it was a dazzling futuristic visual treat and a cool technological feat. This latest version ups the game to look even more impressive. A tech company can create almost anything out of lasers, including powerful androids. The main one (Jared Leto) is sent on a mission thru the digital space, which also leaks into our reality. This turns the film into an extended chase, with evil bots chasing him and his human accomplice (Greta Lee). It’s not about plot or character: The focus is on the futuristic design of the digital world, which is neon beautiful and continually cool. Add a pounding soundtrack by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to increase the intensity. Director Joachim Rønning has kept the energy moving, so there’s no lag in the pace and yes, Jeff Bridges makes an appearance. If you can look past the tiny efforts for empathy or message, you’ll be treated to a visually electrifying adventure. BTW, I saw it in 3D, which made it even more impressive.
