It’s sort of a riff on Equilibrium, one of my most favorite movies, and Surrogates. In the movie, people stop aging at 25 years old and are then given 1 year worth of time (life). That becomes their currency, used to buy things and received as payment for work and such. While a bit rediculous of a premise, it results in some rather interesting scenarios. It’s more of a thought provoking movie than anything.

It’s a good but not great movie that is worth seeing. Also if you’re a gearhead like me, keep an eye out for the slick semi-retro styled vehicles. Whoever did the set design and such for this movie did a great job.

A bit of an odd ending though and not what I would have gone with but hey.

Overall I really liked it. Rooney Mara’s performance was absolutely amazing. I really hope they make the next two films. A little confusing in parts due all of the characters but not too bad.

However be warned that it is an extremely graphic and violent movie. It’s not done in poor taste and it’s an important part of the character development but if you’re easily offended, I’m not sure it’s the movie for you.

In short, see it but be prepared.

I suddenly have an urge to bathe in hand sanitizer though…

PS: It’s better if you watch the first Tron before seeing this one if you have never seen it before.

Here’s the trailer for “Tron: Legacy”. It’s probably going to be crap, but it still looks fun. Plus it has the gorgeous Olivia Wilde in it, so it can’t be that bad.

Gentlemen, it’s time we get out a bit more.

By its 2nd week “Rambo” was beaten by 27 Dresses and Hanna Montana. Stallone ripped a man’s throat out with his bare hands! We can’t let this happen again.

August 13th… Get to dah theatah!!!

Make sure to watch it fullscreen and in HD.
