I was expecting a lot better. I WANTED it to be good.... They've had almost 30 years to get it right. I was very disappointed.
After watching this Im not sure 'Hollywood' knows how to write an original screenplay anymore. Especially when the characters/story is familiar with the audience. There was nothing in this film you wont have seen a dozen times. Done much better too.
They seemed to lose track of what the original concept was about and merged it with a kind of 'Matrix' style world. So programs didn't just have a function .... But they had a 'life' .... The moment Flynn walked into a 'bar/club' for programs i knew id had enough. I should've know that in the opening scenes when they used a computer generated Flynn to look younger i KNEW it was going to be bad! And it got worse and worse.
Direction, screenplay, score, acting, dialogue, effects ... All are well below par.
Even Jeff Bridges didn't bother to act. After watching True Grit I know he CAN act - he obviously had nothing to act WITH or was just picking up a pay check. Awful! But even Lightcycle race was uninspiring. I didn't think it was possible to ruin such a simple concept but they managed it.
One of the worst 'established' films in modern times. Because of the budget, cast and crew involved Im compelled to give this a 1/10 ... My first. Normally even turning up on set would get you more than this! Insulting to the the audience.
Is there ANYTHING good about the film? Yes. Eventually it ends.....
