This fan edit offers a streamlined, tighter and Perfected ;) version of Tron: Legacy, reducing over half an hour of the original film without it feeling overly trimmed. By focusing on a more intimate narrative centred on Kevin Flynn and his son, the story becomes more personal and less sprawling. The edit particularly benefits Quorra, toning down her dumbness and instead highlighting her role as Flynn's apprentice and Sam’s future partner. The faster pace turns Sam into more of a decision-maker who adapts quickly to the new world and this cut operates more on "Do or Die" principle for him, rather than just a lost boy we have to watch find his bearings for two hours. That said, the edit sacrifices some key character moments and worldbuilding, making Sam and Quorra feel a bit underdeveloped but this lesser evil in this case serves the edit well for my previous point. The Daft Punk score was seamlessly altered, blending perfectly with the trimmed scenes. Overall, it's a fantastic reimagining for those who prefer a more serious and concise version. I especially applaud the intro into the movie and being in the world of Tron in 10 minutes. Great work Wakeupkeo, I am looking forward to your future edits and thank you again for turning this movie into something rewatchable.

This is a tough Edit to make. The movie is known for its visual and aural experience.
The video looks good especially in HQ version but the audio could have been improved. Didn't get the same feeling as original.

A great reimagining of a movie that in its original form should have been as good as its visual and score. I can't believe there is over a half hour of the original gone and you basically can't tell at all. At a tight 90 it becomes a more intimate story of Kevin and his three children, which I feel like we don't see enough of in scifi. I wish there had been a few more character moments kept in so I felt like I knew Sam and Quorra better, but I still was invested in the story even so. I especially appreciated the toning down of Quorra's not like other girls/born sexy yesterday personality, and instead focused on her being Kevin's apprentice and Sam's equal. Sam remains a pretty blah character but with this new pacing he's now just a vehicle for the narrative and not an annoying person to be around for 2 hours. As with the original, I wish we got more worldbuilding that wasn't just exposition, more time understanding Rinzler/Tron, and more character development, but overall I enjoyed this immensely! It's a great success especially with what you had to work with from the original movie.

As a huge fan of Tron: Legacy, and the rest of Joseph Kosinski's filmography, I was intrigued by the prospect of an improved version of the already fantastic film, but where I was hoping for perfection, pun intended, I got something that felt more hollow than the original. Now the editing alone was absolutely fantastic. Daft Punk's score is seamlessly, and I mean seamlessly, altered to fit the newly shrunken and trimmed scenes, and whilst what was cut was cut well, I feel this edit took out too much of what I liked and left a lot to be desired in the long run. Comedy lines which showed the naivety of characters were removed to make the story more serious and although I understand the desire to jump right into the grid and remove CGI Kevin Flynn from the opening, but these moments set up a character dynamic of father and son, the very thing that this edit sought out to reinforce. It's possible that objectively this edit is superior, but it removed the heart from the film and left a quirky sci-fi as a hollow shell of its former self. Great editing skills, but poor choice of scenes.

Due my students undying love of the excellent Tron Uprising cartoon, I've been forced to sit through Tron Legacy more times than I would have ever wanted. Wakeupkeo's edit has made that process much easier, thankfully. The structural problems of the second act remain a serious problem, but the first and third act really move and work wonderfully.
