TRON: Legacy

Visually stunning, conceptually creative and adequately loyal sequel to genre classic. Actors lend impressively deep performances to this effects extravaganza, and only overly-used digital Bridges falls short in both regards. Logical leaps, senseless scenes of Sheen’s Bowie and various violent vignettes are all made tolerable by Daft Punk’s inceptional base.

Water for Elephants

Pattinson exceeds expectations alongside poorly-paced Waltz and withering Reese. Holbrook lends appropriately elderly narration to an exceptionally bland story methodically enhanced by beautiful music and well-designed sets. Overall, aside from the elephant, one of the most forgettable films in recent history. Less a circus spectacule than a big bottom sideshow.
