Who here has seen it? I saw it today in 3D imax. After my eyes stopped hurting I rather enjoyed myself. Not a bad way to get back into the series.

It was a series?
 
I guess I meant to say universe.
 
I heard early reports that it is getting great reviews.

This is an excerpt from Wired Magazine

“I walked in, expecting to be blown away both from what I’d seen before and from what I knew about the production. I was not disappointed.” … “… the result is visually stunning, intellectually engaging and emotionally exhausting.” … “There’s plenty of eye candy for even the most jaded addict. The score by Daft Punk is outstanding.” … “With all of this, many folks would expect the story to suffer. It doesn’t, unless you’re a movie critic. It’s a logical continuation of the original, although you need not have seen Tron to understand what’s happening now. Strong performances by Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and Michael Sheen should prevent the kind of complaints about wooden acting that surrounded the original movie. The result delivers an unexpected emotional impact, especially at the ending.” … “Perhaps the emotional ending influenced my final reaction. As the credits rolled, I had to fight off tears.”

It falls into the same category as the original. Good, but not amazing.

It would really suck to be Daft Punk working in that club.

"The place is about to get blown up."
"MORE MUSIC!"
