This belated follow-up deals with Sam Flynn ( a brave young man well played by Garrett Hedlund ) , a rebellious 27-year-old , is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father , a computer genius named Kevin Flynn ( the old creator whiz who was flapped inside a computer game , being stunningly performed by veteran Jeff Bridges ) , a man once known as the world's leading video-game developer . When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn's Arcade -- a signal that could only come from his father-- he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years . During his investigation Sam is zapped into another dimension and finds himself a player in a giant gladiatorial video-game competition . As he is sucked inside a powerful computer where he must fight for his life but with the help of the fearless warrior Quorra ( a gorgeous Olivia Wilde ), father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a cyber universe -- a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain ( a computer generated Jeff Bridges who with his charisma keeps afloat the film ) who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.
It's an agreeable , if somewhat light-headed piece of escapism with state-of-art special effects . Big-budgeted film led to break into the booming Sci-Fi/adventure/fantasy market full of inventiveness and imagination . This exciting movie is full of thrills , action-packed , fights , tension, suspense and overwhelming races , but also several commercial elements , including computer-simulated violence . This is a dynamic, fast-paced and amusing movie . Full of action, it's complemented by spectacular scenes , breathtaking flights and duels with illuminated disks . Stunning action though the story runs out of steam too soon , however the thrilling ending arises the film . The flick relies heavily on the overlong and death-defying races that are incredible and magnificently made by 3D computer generator . The tale moves like a supersonic bullet for most of its running time and the last generation of fantastic computer generator effects steal the show . Contrived beyond belief with spectacular motorcycle races that play like video games , but slickly calculated to please 2010 audiences and children especially . Garrett Hedlund is good as valiant racer , he's an instinctive , stubborn and valiant young man . Olivia Wilde is beautiful as computer-generated young . Michael Sheen stands out as ceremony master in a similar acting to Joel Grey-Cabaret . Colorful cinematography plenty of neon and glittering color by Claudio Miranda . Impressive and groundbreaking production design by Darren Gilford . Stirring and moving musical score by Punk , though composed by means of synthesizer . The motion picture is well directed by Joseph Kosinski . This is a superior sequel , much better that original ¨Tron¨ by Steven Lisberger , now as producer,that proved to be a precursor for the modern cinema and also with the same actors as Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner , though doesn't appears David Warner , the former baddie as corporate executive realizing evil-doings , here replaced by Michael Sheen and Jeff Bridges in double role as good and bad guy . Rating : 6,5 . Good , well worth watching , the movie boasts some impressive C.G. animation , reaching a high level of entertainment and excitement commensurate with its effect budget .
