If you had all the time in the world, what would you do? Would you take it one day at a time? Would you take any risks?

28 years have gone by since we’ve seen Jeff Bridges on the screen playing Kevin Flynn. Why a movie studio would hold back on a sequel to a film that holds a cult following is beyond me. With technology advancing so far, this is a movie that screams to be made and featured on big screens all over. Sure, the original may be a bit dated, but this new film is sure to please. So does it?
