Well, the original movie had SO much to fix, I doubt even Mauler could make a thorough video about it, so yeah, there was potential to make an actually GOOD 'Tron'-movie, maybe with less ridiculous a premise.
I hate these movies that are made by people who don't understand how physics, computers, souls or life works, and just make up whatever they want to happen.
So you can somehow be sucked into a computer game and be made digital. Yet you need to eat, drink and have no problems in adjusting to the digital way of doing things. This does not happen in real life.
A computer program can somehow live in human world, because soul and program are the same thing somehow. Sigh.
There are SO many movies with this kind of thoughtless ridiculousness. It shouldn't be so hard to make 'fantastic thing' that ALSO follows how the Universe actually works.. after all, there are things like astral world, other planets, RIDICULOUSLY MASSIVE size even on the physical planet, telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, UFOs, time travel, etc..
But sure, let's make computer programs walk in real life with NO EXPLANATION for anything. Sigh sigh sigh.
They could've made it into an immersive VR simulation, they could've made Holodeck-type stuff, they could've made some kind of biochip implant thing where your soul operates both your physical body and the machine, OR is incarnated into the machine and so on, but nope. Nothing interesting like that.
They could've taken Tron, fixed all that's wrong, made it a more interesting, more relatable, more realistic AND more fantastic story at the same time.. maybe hacking combined with magic - surely two already interesting things that do not need idiotic embellishment..
I mean, even the old TV show 'Reboot' was better than the original Tron, which was a thousand times better than this.. 'movie'.
Crap, colorless, 'hologram' visuals, TOUCHSCREEN computers even in the 1980s (I HATE touchscreens!!), modern clichés, injected romance..

I know this will offend people, but.. the music is nothing special - it's not as bad as in some other movies, but if you listen to its chords, chord structures, melodies, and so on and so forth - even the pure energy side is not very energetic - and then compare to the BEST movie soundtracks ever.. you HAVE to admit the music of this movie could easily be composed by any amateur with some VST instruments and a tracker.
John Williams, Alan Silvestri, even James Horner on a good day - have people forgotten what good music sounds like? Ever heard Vivaldi or some Fusion Jazz? Even the best 1980s and 1990s computer and video game soundtracks trump this movie by far..
I think this movie has pretty much bad casting (besides the returning actors and maybe the woman, who was OK), bad story, bad acting, bad visuals, bad musics (that sometimes rise almost to mediocrity - WHY WOULD ANYONE WORSHIP THIS?!), bad ideas, overused 'holographic' visual style, bad family drama, bad hero's journey (he's already rich, hacker, motorcyclist, coolguy thug but clean.. what the heck kind of male Mary Sue is this?)..
The worst thing is, there's no content, no context, no coherence, there's NOTHING here to grasp, nothing to make you think, nothing to provoke anything in you but boredom.. I wanted to give this a chance, but I'd rather watch 20 episodes of the worst Babylon 5 episodes and movies in a row than this again. It's that boring.
(Yeah, B5 had its moments, but mostly it's pretty childish and un-spiritual despite having supposed 'religious classes' and whatnot, it's all superficial - even the mages have to be TECHNO-mages.. sigh)
This movie is meant for (and worshipped by) people who would never understand why I chose Babylon 5 specifically..
