So, did anyone race out to see "Tron: Legacy"?
It was one of the big stories out of the last two Comic Con conventions in San Diego. It was the talk of the geek corps for weeks. And it took the top box office spot opening weekend ($43 million).
I may get my geek membership card revoked, but I've not been in a hurry to see it. Reviews have been mixed (with critics scoring the flick more harshly than the moviegoing public). It seems more compelling as another experiment in 3-D movie making than a story.
I think people are more nostalgic about the idea of "Tron" than the original movie itself... which was actually pretty bad.
So. Go for it in IMAX? Catch a matinee? Wait to rent it? Or skip it?
