interesting plot, although there were some parts where i was a bit lost

A Disney film for kids with cool images for its time, and an awful, mumbo-jumbo plot, complete with a lack of understanding of science or computers. The "programs can think for THEMSELVES" theme will make any genuine scientist or programmer laugh.On the human front, every actor except for Bridges is dreadful, to the point where it's almost self-parody. And finally, its purpose was merely to hype up arcades. Worst of all, it becomes excruciatingly, painfully boring at times.

I kinda found a lot of references in this movie. The strange floating cube reminded me of portal's voice, it felt a lot like matrix. But history is surely left in the background because of A lot of crazy computer-real world mashup that is just ridiculous.

Classic 80's sci-fi with some great special effects. Can it hold up to today's standards? Maybe--it's still a fun and exciting movie!

Funny watching it with Rifftrax commentary

If nothing else Tron is certainly unique, nothing else looks quite like it, and for that alone it's worth a watch. In 2010 a lot of the concepts surrounding computers seem laughable in retrospect but it produces a fun adventure movie. The acting isn't the best and the plot, while original, lacks any depth beyond 'people get sucked into a computer world and have adventures'. Tron is a product of it's time, and certainly needs a certain amount of nostalgia to enjoy, but there's fun to be had here.

Surprisingly awesome! Once inside the system the uneven acting is smoothed by the circuitry suits, while the solid internal logic compensates for the sparse plot. Even the chunky CGI comes off as endearing when coupled with the zippy projectiles and bikes. Of course the designs are the star attraction: vibrant, streamlined and inventive. Quite the triumph of early computer immersion, not to mention damn fun.

Really weird movie. I will give it credit for being inventive. For its time it was probably really impressive. There is a really weird view of computers. I found it disturbing the way that computer programs had conversations with each other about life. And the way that the programs looked like the writer of the program and that they talked about the "users" as if they were God. Very wacky but interesting ideas. I liked it but it wasn't great. Maybe if I saw it when it came out...

Compare with the new sci-fi movies...well... But the story was very original. Also the style is very original and i think that you can't see something similar around. It's absolutly to see!!!

Inescapably corny and dated from a modern viewing, with no real memorable dialogue beyond "end of line," but the filmmaking and visual style has so much raw, bizarre creativity to it that it remains a captivating experience. After seeing so many movies in life I didn't think I'd ever see something that looked TRULY unique, but it turns out that not only did such a film exist, it was made years before I was born! Fancy that.

That Simpsons Halloween episode inspired by Tron is possibly the peak of the entire series, but the film itself was a letdown.

wish I`ve seen it back in 1982... great CGI for its time but its kinda stupid now...

Almost as captivating as I remembered it as a kid. Yes, the CG is premature, the plot is bumpy at best and the scene structure is a bit heavy on the Star Wars inspirations in terms of both visual and auditive matters. But nonetheless Tron offers a truly original and elevating adventure ride - that stands the test of time way better than I could have ever imagined.

The motorbike scene was as impressive as it was 27 years ago! But the story's got worse and worse every minute looking in the end like the final of Matrix trilogy. And I'm not going to talk about the ludicrous main plot.

Insane visual style and a concept that is a wacky sort of fun even today. I wish people would move on from the "geek paradise" idea, this has every right to be loved for its visuals as, say, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

Wow so that was outdated. And not even that exciting if you could look that aside. And the whole "evil computer" has been done so much better in Space Odyssey (and in Wall-E for that matter). Only saw this because the new one looks good...

Gets off to a rough start and the acting is pretty bad at parts, and would benefit from more running time and a different pacing, but it's fun. There's some wonderfully endearing escapism in the cheesy psychedelia of the computer world. The plot is simple, but it's sometimes nice to watch something straightforward and simple with a triumphant ending. Not exceptional, but a nice experience overall.

Wooden characters and poor dialogues aside, this was actually a fun trip of pure escapism, featuring an immersive digital world of boundless creativity, though why name the movie after a supporting character ? I guess "Tron" sounded better than "Flynn"...

"Meanwhile, in the real world..." no one is quite sure how this film was made or why it is loved.
