I have made that mistake before with an epic prequel years back. TRON was very influential for me and led to my career in computers..so I did have high hopes. I was not disappointed. The advances in the grid matched the advances in mainstream life today..with some futuristic-ness thrown in for wow-factor. The story was well done..the plot was maybe structured similarly to the original, but did not suffer from it. Definitely made my top 15 all-time best movies list On a side note, I was glad for the few 2d shots present in the film..that other "big 3D" movie gave me a headache. Also, it does show a stark contrast when it goes full 3D. End of line...(rofl)
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Future or History?

I can see why the religious groups oppose this movie. It strikes a chord with a society that will stop at nothing to get that which we want. Don't see it? Ask the native Americans, starting with the South Americans ravaged by Europeans, think Cortez and Aztec gold. Unfortunately, people will not look kindly towards a movie that exposes us for what we really are, and that is a predating species that does not try to achieve homeostasis with our environment, a take/take relationship with our mother Earth. I think the movie was a little far-fetched in one respect, once the Na'vi "saw" us for what we were, I would have expected a clean expullsion from their planet, even if it meant murder.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
