Garrett Hedlund returns to "the grid", the same place his father ventured over a quarter of a century ago. He finds dad still there, an aging zen master living on a set left over from the ending of 2001 with a girl who is the sole survivor of a new race. Dad, son and girl must get to "the portal" before it closes to return to the real world and prevent a rogue program from taking over. The Big Action Finale is stolen straight from the Death Star ending in Star Wars. And TRON? He's there, but only says a few words, almost an afterthought. It's like one long video game, with martial arts style fighting, a mumbling hero, girls in tight leather pants, zen cliches and too much borrowed from other films, especially Star Wars.
