Tron: Legacy
I liked it.
However, hear this: You can't go into it thinking it's going to be the best thing since Inception. The story is fairly simple, be warned, but the visuals and worldbuilding of the Grid, the characters, and the action make up for it. If you want to see it, I hope you do and enjoy it for what it is.
In all honesty, it plays out pretty much like Tron: They're at point A, they need to get to point B, and there are obstacles along the way. But there is so much more to it in this one when it comes to character sequences and action scenes.
You don't need to have seen Tron to enjoy Legacy, though you'll be glad you did for little nods towards the first and a better understanding of how the Users' Programs work (and why they look like them), plus who Tron is.
Oh, and the music is amazing. Daft Punk did a great job. I'm listening to the soundtrack right now and it's amazing.
As for the 3D, it is still a gimmick of the movie industry, but Legacy really uses it to their advantage. There was even a moment where I flinched, which doesn't really happen (yet I wish did) in 3D movies. The visuals of the Grid really stand out when they have depth to them.
