The Art of Tron: Legacy is more of a visual companion than an art book. Whenever there's "art of" somewhere in the book title, it sets people up with certain expectations. This title definitely sets up the wrong type of expectation, at least to me.
About half the book is concept art and the other half is just film stills, and even if it's not exactly half, it feels that way.
Much of the concept art are actually the finalized designs. You won't see much iterations. It's like they nailed the design of the Light Cycle bike with the first try. Same applies for characters and environments. And the Light Jets are missing.
The selection of films stills included is also questionable, but I'm glad for the most part they look stunning visually, especially the ones that are showing more of the Tron world.
This book should still appeal to Tron fans. I'm not so hot about the book, but I've two colleages (fans of the film) raves about it.
As an art book, I'll give it 3 stars. As a visual companion or picture book, 4 out of 5 stars.

it looks great and since I got it on sale I'm not even really annoyed about it. But people buying this full price may feel a little ripped off or mislead.
If you're looking for a book full of designs, conceptual design and sketches... it's about 30-40% of the book. The rest of the images are nothing but still images of the final movie. Just pictures of stuff you're already going to see when you watch it.
Like I said, great book, great movie but I expected a lot more out of an "art" book.

Stunning Design, but Where Are the Light Jets?
Dec 26 2010
By R. Hurt
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The design work for T:L is impressive, but unfortunately very little of the concept design work leading up to the final product is in this. Almost all of the art appears to be the final approved pre-vis, but not the development sketches or alternate ideas.
Moreover, my favorite moments in the movie involve the fantastic light jets and light flyer at the end, but there is not a single sketch or screen shot of them. Seriously, I was flipping eagerly to the back of the book looking for them, and even checked the table of contents to see if maybe I had missed it, or the book was missing a section. Disappointing.

original, futuristic, and breathtaking

Disney has pulled together some of the industries most talented artists to work on "Tron Legacy". The art work speaks for itself, the sketches, the 3d work, everything looks phenomenal and Tron: legacy is clearly going to be the most ground breaking film in years. Seeing Neville page's work was also a huge treat, I love his drawing and hearing he has ventured into 3d is truly exciting. Industrial design enthusiasts will love the work done on the vehicles as well. This is a must buy for any fan of tron or art in general.
