This film was immense. I haven't seen the original but I sure want to now.
I was immediately impressed when I discovered that some of the film was in 2D. The digital world was the 3D part which I thought was very clever. It enhanced the worlds' differences and gave me a break from the weird 3D vision. It was a choice well made by the producers as 3D would have been a hindrance on the normal world scenes like with most 3D films.
When the film got digital, the 3D effect was flawless because of how it was filmed. The notorious light strips made sense in 3D and the story was gripping that you forgot you were watching it wearing silly glasses. In my opinion, this is the only time when 3D works. If the plot gives you time to breakaway from the film and consider the back ground and the edges where the 3D doesn't work and blurs (and in my case, makes me go crosseyed) then 3D has failed the film and vice versa. So far, Avatar and Tron are the only films that I have seen where 3D has worked.
The visual effects were so simple but so amazing. And the sound effects and sound track worked so well. Daft Punk was a good choice for the soundtrack and brought it all together. However, while it worked so well in the film, as an album it gets a bit boring (duh, as most soundtrack/scores do as they don't work so well without the film (and vice versa)). So for those who thought they were getting a new Daft Punk album, no, it's a film score. Fools.
While the plot was gripping and the characters interesting to an extent, Kevin Flynn aka The Creator seemed a bit weak. He created this place and it's programmes and yet he seemed weak and scared and his power and wisdom did not feature enough. When it did, it was awesome.
