MOVIES

Tron: Legacy In lieu of the French duo Daft Punk playing live with a 100-piece orchestra, Hollywood’s El Capitan Theatre will give us the next best thing: a laser light show before each screening. OK, so it’s not vocoders or spacesuits from the band that scored the Jeff Bridges vehicle, but we have a feeling that lasers shooting around the theater will delight even the most steely of robot hearts. To further entice your electronic soul: One person will win a pair of tickets to Disney’s California Adventure Park before every showing. Daily screenings: 10 a.m., 1:15, 4:30, 7:45 and 10:45 p.m. El Capitan Theatre, 6838 Hollywood Blvd. Through Jan. 20. $16-$18. https://www.elcapitan.go.com.
