The visuals and action scenes are absolutely stunning, and coupled with one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard, I only regret not going to watch this in 3D when it came out. The story was also solid - easy to follow and consistent. And it's probably the only movie that contains a 2-second clip which I can watch over and over again. Yep, that one of Olivia Wilde on the couch. Beautiful.
shareNot to rub it in, but you did miss out. This is one of the few films in existence that I think was better in 3-D than 2-D. And in the IMAX theater, the scene where the recognizer was landing right in front of Sam caused my seat to shake tangibly.
Definitely one of the most memorable cinema moments I've ever had.

Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many.
I was fortunate enough to see this 4.5 times in IMAX 3D. The .5 is when I snuck in half way after another movie ended. I watched the last hour without the 3D glasses 😁
End of line, man!
I actually prefer the movie in 2D but that scene with recognizer, the effects on the air were incredible. You could really see the attention to detail pay off

Couldn't agree more!! Not sure why more people don't love this movie!!!!! Can't wait for the next one!

Can hardly be overrated when it's panned by the majority.
But point taken about it being released maybe a decade too late. In light of other computer sci-fi movies that have been released since, its plot isn't as powerful as it could have been.
But maybe it wasn't trying to be as unique as the original. Maybe it was just trying to be a simple follow-up with a chance to re-create the Tron world under today's special affects. Because the CGI and affects it achieved -- which were actually a lot better than your average CGI movie -- probably wouldn't have been achieved 10 years ago - as evident by so many on here saying how sensational it was in 3D.

Hmmm, interesting. I didn't really follow any updates/reactions at the time of Tron's announcement, production and release. So I don't know much about the opposition it faced. But even then, as you say, it still managed to produce a respectable sequal.

It is underrated. I never watched it in IMAX 3D when it was out in 2010. Now, I wish that I did. Such an awesome movie.
