Films like Tron: Legacy.

Tron: Legacy (2010) reads as Neutral, breathless, measured sci-fi / action, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
