Let’s face it: you pretty much know what you are going to get with Final Destination 5.

TRON: LEGACY
Starring Garrett Hedlund, Jeff Bridges and Olivia Wilde
Directed by Joseph Kosinksi
Written by Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz
The question I had to ask myself walking out of Wednesday night’s TRON: Legacy screening was “would my 12-year-old self like this movie?” That was the age I was when I saw the original TRON in 1982. I didn’t have a chance to revisit the original before seeing this belated sequel, but I have warm memories of it. I also have colder memories of sucking at the attendant video game.
SAW 3D
