Tron: Legacy; the sequel to the groundbreaking 1982 sci-fi movie Tron; had it’s theatrical debut back in December, and despite the fact it hasn’t even been released on Blu-ray or DVD yet, has already broken a rather significant record in the Blu-ray charts; becoming the first ever title released on Amazon.co.uk
Judging by the film’s impressive visuals, and the stunning quality of the Tron: Legacy 3D Blu-ray release (which was reviewed by us last month: here), it’s not difficult to see why the 3D release is being favored above that of the 2D releases (in both standard and high definition), and suggests that more and more people are beginning to use 3DTVs, and fully utilize available 3D technology in the home; with this release (which earned 40% more pre-orders than the standard DVD, and twice as many as the regular Blu-ray edition) being hailed as a potential “tipping point in the popularity of 3D entertainment at home” by Amazon.co.uk
Starring Jeff Bridges (True Grit) and Garrett Hedlund (Four Brothers) as Kevin and Sam Flynn, Tron: Legacy follows on from its predecessor by bringing the story fully up-to-date, and showcasing the efforts of a son who attempts to rescue his father from a digital world he created and accidentally became trapped in 20 years earlier.
Tron: Legacy also stars original Tron actor Bruce Boxleitner, and House star Olivia Wilde, and will be released on 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD (in a number of different editions) on Monday the 18th of April.
