tmpsvita An extremely ambitious film, too much for the time, there was the willingness to do something really new, but without the proper tools to do it willingness isn't helpful. Too bad because the ideas are there, there is a huge amount of ideas many are interesting and original, some even brilliant, while some could avoid because unnecessary, confusing or senseless but the main problem is that most of it is badly developed, so much to be, especially at the beginning, almost incomprehensible, especially for a spectator who has not lived in that historical period and therefore already understands with difficulty the type of computer science, now archaic, of the 80s, and so he will finds it really difficult to identify with it. All this because of an immature and superficial script with various holes, in which the feelings and emotions are missing and that is lost in the great quantity of present ideas and ends up being too confusing and flat as original and at times interesting it may be; not to mention the bad dialogues and really forgettable interpretations, in some points almost terrible, even that of Jeff Bridges. The film also suffers from a very strong aging too palpable that makes really difficult, at the beginning, the vision of the film itself, because of really bad special effects even for the time (five years before it was released "Star Wars" and the same year "Blade Runner"!), which you get used to only after the first half hour. The same applies to the unconvincing direction, especially in the staging, in the sets and costumes where it does the worst of itself, even there the ideas are not enough if they are misdirected. Fortunately, after a while, you begin to appreciate the trashy aftertaste that spreads with great force throughout the duration, so that you get to appreciate it. This also allows you to better immerse yourself in the extremely special atmosphere of the film so that in the end it can also involve, a bit 'for the plot and a bit' for the unintentional comedy of many scenes that in any case provide a bit 'of genuine entertainment. In short, a failed project but that manages in many places to entertain despite the many problems, which however have not prevented it to become, over the years, a small cult of science fiction with a large and strong fanbase and on this I can not say, so much of a hat. In any case I think it is a film that strongly needed a sequel / reboot that could exploit the great potential that went here wasted, so the following of 2010 (which by the way I saw a lot before this thinking it was stand alone ) I found it rather discreet.

DCfan This movie was never really in my era when it was out but this was pretty good considering the time it was made. There was of good acting from Bruce as Tron and David Warner was also very good as Sark and the voice of the MCP.This movie also did include lots of different puzzles that were good for my brain and the characters in the film to solve.The only problem with the movie is that it is too short and the effects weren't that advanced at the time when it was made considering it was made 17 years before I was born. Which I know can't be helped because of the technology at the time.

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.

gddyhaimsjc Unique in its effects using light. A great concept that is current more now than ever. MCP's becoming self aware, you wrote it but it will control you. Great story-line about stealing a genius's creation and taking credit for it. Imagine if an m.c.p became self-aware and online you got framed for a crime you didn't commit because it was forged on all news sites. This film opens the door to that concept. The visuals are unique so they still hold-up 33 years later. It should have made the kind of money back to the future did, it's that great. Lovely music score too. Jeff Bridges gives a joyous playful performance too. I highly recommend you tune in to TRON.
