Reviews

Torrin-McFinn77 It wasn't until last decade I watched this film. But it was very good and it was by Disney. Some good actors (including David Warner and Jeff Bridges) and a believable virtual world. In fact, I like this a lot better than 1999's The Matrix. If you haven't seen it, and want a family-friendly cyberpunk film, give this a go. It's not as violent as The Matrix and it's also not as disturbing. Just a game world with lots of flashy lights and the first use of computer animation, way before there was Shrek and Toy Story. Now that I think about it, I like this the most of all those CGI-animated films. So what are you waiting for?

Stuart Fisher Tron is almost flawless. However, I thought there were a couple of short scenes that didn't really make sense and could have been removed or edited a bit. Apart from that, the whole thing works perfectly. It was so far ahead of its time and the visuals look good even now. It's hard to say for sure but I reckon Tron must have influenced many science fiction films that came after it. There are a few scenes that remind me of The Matrix, for example.I would highly recommend Tron to anyone interested in what goes on inside a computer. They should watch this film!

Fluke_Skywalker Plot; A young computer programmer finds himself on the other side of the screen, prisoner of the despotic Master Control Program.Tron's trailblazing technical merits are well documented and just as well deserved. So too is the praise for its far-seeing look at a world that did not yet exist, but would soon come to be, as well as its mood enhancing electronic score. But I don't think it gets enough credit for its clever subtext (religious, corporate and Cold War) and for not letting its story--however basic on the margins--get lost and buried under the techno-wonder of it all.

George Roots (GeorgeRoots) Remember the iconic speed bike scene when Jeff Bridges manages to box the enemy in and defeats him? What do you think goes on in his mind when he looks back and laughs?! Onto the review."Tron", probably remains one of Disney's favourite movies for males. It's very self aware, yet its visuals are out of this world. Largely considered the first movie to ever include a CGI world, it is actually minimalist computer imagery and very well back lit animation. Considering the earlier days of computing software and how it has advanced over the years, I feel Tron's visuals are perfect for its time and still has moments to dazzle. Wendy Carlos's music is also wonderfully immersive, ever cascading highs and dizzying lows. Jeff Bridges is as wonderful as ever, and how memorable was Bruce Boxleitner as TRON?"Tron" is a film that is also extremely important to the history of the sci-fi genre, but sadly no one really ever talks about it that much seeing that the movie had spawned video game adaptations and many comic books. Sadly, a lot of younger generations will now deem it bad and be put off, but I love "Tron" as much as I love the camp-ness of "Barbarella" (1968), and "Flash Gordon" (1980).Final verdict: Great "vector" graphics, highly imaginative & Jeff Bridges (Can't get enough of him). 9/10.
