The CGI looks funny now but I'm sure back then it was amazing. I thought there would be more light cycle racing. Kinda boring otherwise.

Must've been Fantasy for 80's people but now it's just too old for anyone to watch and enjoy.

After seeing the 2010 remake of Tron, I had to watch the original (or at least I thought I had to) but it was unbearable for me and i quit after 20 minutes. The special effects were really , REALLY bad (even for 1982 in my opinion) and the dialogs so cheesy that I just cannot understand how this flick got it's cult status...

An acquired taste. For me, someone who has no knowledge of computer programming and the sort, it's a very slow, tedious and boring watch. 'Tron', unfortunately, didn't take my interest whatsoever. Not helped by the poor special effects (they get a pass due to it being an 1982 release; though I'm not convinced it's good either way) and forgettable cast performances, it's not a premise that's easy to get into if you have no prior understanding of coding etc. There is some intrigue in there, but not nearly enough to satisfy my viewing pleasure - it felt like a much longer run time than 96 minutes, that's for sure. All cool if you love this, but I very much didn't. Hopefully the 2010 sequel gives the concept a major boost.

Back in the days when digitization was tomorrow's creeping threat and computer programmers were modern-day wizards, Disney toyed with those preconceptions in a bold, experimental mixed narrative. Now, nearly forty years later, _Tron_ serves as a curious time capsule and obvious trail blazer, if More

I saw this again yesterday - it's 40 years old! I didn't see it at the time, I was one of those kids who hadn't the slightest interest in "Space Invaders" nor did I ever have an Atari, but I do recall the fuss that was being made about Disney's first foray into the world of the emerging computer gam More

**Once avant-garde and innovative, this film feels archaic and old as an arcade game, and has an absolutely miserable script.**

I'm not sure what Disney was thinking when they decided to make this film, but I understand the concept and the reasons that led the studio to bet on something like this More
