Summary: A hacker is literally abducted into the world of a computer and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program. (imdb)
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...
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
The effects are still mindblowing, but the movie does feel a bit dated. It's also sort of confusing and boring in spots too, but it's aged better than I expected it to. I liked Jeff Bridges as Flynn.
Looking at this movie's place 25 years ago it'd have been a strange, perhaps even slightly liberating experience. It's very distinct. The CGI looked fairly advanced, and almost a first on this scale. The acting is very bland, but the whole theme is semi-worthwhile 'computers thinking for and more than the men who created them' and it has more relevance in today's society than they ever would have assumed at the time! I felt it was a little unconvincing and driven by its gimmick all said, though.
A rather old-fashioned but interesting sci-fi adventure. Although back then it made the difference as it was something new, TRON is a common action movie nonetheless. Its plot is conventional, the dialogues stilted and the development predictable. Also, as it happens with many other films, it resembles what it criticizes (video games, isolating technology) and soon loses orientation. It is absorbing, though.
