Tron (20th Anniversary Edition) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

...movie? As a story TRON is actually pretty basic: the age old tale of a wrong being righted. Ok so the action takes place in a futuristic environment but at it's core it's nothing new. In fact as a story TRON is pretty weak and this becomes apparent when you push the wave of nostalgia to one side and look at it more subjectively. The characters are somewhat 2 dimensional, the story is simplistic, and there's very little in the way of twists. The ...
...not quite. It's true that TRON is weak as a story but that doesn't make it weak as a piece of entertainment. Where TRON really comes to life is in it's effects. TRON takes us out of cosy Red Hand Gang America, and drops us into a world of wonder and amazement. Possibly the first film to ever attempt to visualise the world inside the machine, TRON creates a wonderful environment that is just magnificently reminiscent of the vector graphics that dominated ...

...that Flynn joins forces with Tron (Bruce Boxleitner) to outmaneuver the Master Control program that holds them captive in the equivalent of a gigantic, infinitely challenging computer game. Disney's wizards used a variety of cinematic techniques and early-'80s state-of-the-art computer-generated graphics to accomplish their dynamic visual goals, and the result was a milestone in cyberentertainment, catering to technogeeks while providing a dazzling ...
...the nascent cyberpunk movement in science fiction, Tron received a decidedly mixed reaction when originally released, but has since become a high-tech favorite and a landmark in special effects, with a loyal following of fans. I reccommend this film to anyone who like cult sci-fi classics like myself ...

...I've read on CIAO for Tron says that Harrison Ford is in it! Much as I like Harrison Ford, it was Jeff Bridges who played in Tron. Its the story of how a guys video-game programs were stolen and he wants to recover them. The MCP (Master Control Program) manages by virtue of the new scanner the company have developed, to bring him inside the computer and get him to play the games he's written. Its a bit long in the tooth now but is fun. The effects ...

Review of Tron (20th Anniversary Edition) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

ally ijpIt's a sad fact that any film based on cutting edge visual effects is going to date very quickly; the most primitive looking films of the last century are probably those that were most ahead of their time. "Tron" is one of these, but I personally still find the film highly enjoyable. A huge amount of imagination, talent, but mostly I suppose money went into the look of the film, and it's still possible to enjoy the energy and panache of the ...
...a software writer finds himself beamed into a computer - don't ask how - as a result of, of all things, a copyright dispute. The script gets a little confused over how his actions and those of the users interact - the characters in the computer world are all, apparently, programs, and makes me wonder about a possible character called "Windows", who just stops moving every two hours. "Tron" is certainly dated and quite confused, but it's stylish ...

First of all, this is not really one for the mainstream viewers. However, Sci fi and Fantasy fans would thourougly enjoy this movie. Harrison Ford was excellent! The atmosphere produced by the graphics was most evocative.. one felt trapped along with Harrison. Again his acting skills were superb. Ti tell you how good it was.. I started to get claustrophobia symptoms, I rented this movie because of the name and I am happy that I did. I saw it ages ...
