Was this any good? I’ve only ever seen the original.

Yes and no. 😅
Does it live up to expectations set by TRON? No way. I think the biggest issue (though not the only one) is probably that it tries to skip decades into the future, and to do that abandons and avoids having any substantial real world changes following TRON.
Pretty good graphics, though.
Story isn't *terrible*, but not great either. Seems there's more propaganda than logic in it.
To fully follow it, IMO you need to get through the cartoon series in between the movies.
I had no idea there was also a cartoon that links them. 😅
The soundtrack was done by Daft Punk
That’s the only part of the movie I’m familiar with. 🤘
It is well worth a watch. Lots of eye candy cinematography. Much of the spiritual allegory and philosophizing throughout the film was either flat or unnessicarily on the nose, so it lacks gravitas, but overall a fun film and excellent score.
