This movie is very deep. Almost too much for kid who grew up on it. I don't smoke weed, but this would be one movie if I did I would. This movie gave birth to Pixels n Edge Of Tomorrow.

A computer hacker is abducted into the digital world and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program. For years i've tried to find this film somewhere so i can see it and review it and honestly this is the first time that i finish it cause the first view didn't go as planned. Anyways is Tron good? It's watchable but not as good as i expected it and nowhere near as good as Tron:Lagacy that film was amazing it had a great soundtrack by Daft Punk such as Flynn Lives and The Grid, the CGI were much more realistic, the action was better and the entire digital world looked way more believable. For an 1982 movie it does pack some interesting ideas, Jeff Bridges is really good as Flynn but he totally disappears from the face of the Earth as Clu (thank god for the Sequel). The cgi or the computer effects at this point look like PS2 Graphics or Superman 64, the villains and the Final Battle is super cheesy especially when the main antagonist turned into a giant. Overall i didn't hate the original Tron i just don't think that it's as good as the sequel that was more darker and serious and provided a better story and villain when this is just a fun one time watch kind of experience. (6.4/10)

Having risen through the ranks of a large computer corporation known as ENCOM, a sociopath named "Ed Dillinger" (David Warner) has installed a software package known as the Master Computer Program (MCP) into the corporate computer which hacks into various computer programs and data bases all over the world to steal valuable information and thereby increase profits. However, the MCP soon gets too powerful and after taking control of ENCOM decides to appropriate other computer systems in an effort to rule the world. However, a former ENCOM employee named ""Kevin Flynn" (Jeff Bridges) feels he has been cheated by Ed Dillinger and convinces two current ENCOM employees named "Alan Bradley" (Bruce Boxleitner) and "Lora Baines" (Cindy Morgan) to give him access to the main computer terminal to prove his allegations. Unfortunately, the MCP becomes aware of his activity and manages to transport him into the computer system where he has to fight for his life against programs designed to eliminate anything that interferes with the computer's operational status. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film created quite a sensation in the science-fiction community when it first came out due its computerized graphics which were well ahead of the times. Unfortunately, it suffered at most of the science-fiction award ceremonies that year due to the release of "E.T. the Extraterrestrial" and "Star Trek-The Wrath of Khan" which dominated that specific genre. That aside, however, this is still an enjoyable film even though it is certainly quite dated. But in any case, I liked this particular film and have rated it accordingly. Above average.

When I was going to watch TRON, I didn't know what to expect. I looked it up and decided to see it. When I did, I was bored. I don't Think I've ever waited so long for a movie to end. However, let's first discuss the good parts. The villain, Master Control, was neat. He was cool, he was intimidating, he had a menacing voice and he was one of the few effects in the Movie that aged well. When in the real world, the movie was okay. It looked promising and Jeff Bridges was pretty likable. However that completely changed when he entered the virtual world, where 20 percent of his lines were one-liners. And now the bad things: I'm sure the effects were revolutionary for 1982, but they look soooooooooooo dated when watched in the 21st Century. The acting turns bad as well, and we've heard the story so many times, or so we think, but then it gets so complicated it's hard to understand it. You'll probably like this movie if you like computers, but I didn't like it at all. 5/10.
