Tron Legacy. Bit disappointing. I was hoping they would update the premise of the movie to match the more tech-savvy audience we have now. I think they tried to but they didn't put any effort into it.
Like the original, you are expected to simply suspend disbelief and accept that there "just is" another world inside computers, where programs act as characters.
They should have demystified the concept by saying the virtual reality was just an advanced interface intended to allow users to interpret analogies of what happens inside computers, and the program characters were like avatars (or inverse avatars, as they represent digital forms as people, the other way round.) Maybe that was implied, but aren't film makers supposed to help you suspend disbelief?
