Anonymous: <p>Aside from the fact it's a sequel to the 82 film, I distinctly remember TRON 2.0 having a fairly conclusive ending. Similar to the original movie. </p>

Yeah, true. There’s nothing huge left unfinished in that one, it pretty much is what it is, self-contained.

And I mean… I’m not against works of fiction leaving some things uncertain at the end, on principle. It can be done well.

It’s just… very often done in ways that feel like a mixture of cop-out on explaining parts of the plot, and sequel bait that’ll never go anywhere.
