Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Yvonne Jodi Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

tmpsvita An extremely ambitious film, too much for the time, there was the willingness to do something really new, but without the proper tools to do it willingness isn't helpful. Too bad because the ideas are there, there is a huge amount of ideas many are interesting and original, some even brilliant, while some could avoid because unnecessary, confusing or senseless but the main problem is that most of it is badly developed, so much to be, especially at the beginning, almost incomprehensible, especially for a spectator who has not lived in that historical period and therefore already understands with difficulty the type of computer science, now archaic, of the 80s, and so he will finds it really difficult to identify with it. All this because of an immature and superficial script with various holes, in which the feelings and emotions are missing and that is lost in the great quantity of present ideas and ends up being too confusing and flat as original and at times interesting it may be; not to mention the bad dialogues and really forgettable interpretations, in some points almost terrible, even that of Jeff Bridges. The film also suffers from a very strong aging too palpable that makes really difficult, at the beginning, the vision of the film itself, because of really bad special effects even for the time (five years before it was released "Star Wars" and the same year "Blade Runner"!), which you get used to only after the first half hour. The same applies to the unconvincing direction, especially in the staging, in the sets and costumes where it does the worst of itself, even there the ideas are not enough if they are misdirected. Fortunately, after a while, you begin to appreciate the trashy aftertaste that spreads with great force throughout the duration, so that you get to appreciate it. This also allows you to better immerse yourself in the extremely special atmosphere of the film so that in the end it can also involve, a bit 'for the plot and a bit' for the unintentional comedy of many scenes that in any case provide a bit 'of genuine entertainment. In short, a failed project but that manages in many places to entertain despite the many problems, which however have not prevented it to become, over the years, a small cult of science fiction with a large and strong fanbase and on this I can not say, so much of a hat. In any case I think it is a film that strongly needed a sequel / reboot that could exploit the great potential that went here wasted, so the following of 2010 (which by the way I saw a lot before this thinking it was stand alone ) I found it rather discreet.

Uriah43 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.

Stuart Fisher Tron is almost flawless. However, I thought there were a couple of short scenes that didn't really make sense and could have been removed or edited a bit. Apart from that, the whole thing works perfectly. It was so far ahead of its time and the visuals look good even now. It's hard to say for sure but I reckon Tron must have influenced many science fiction films that came after it. There are a few scenes that remind me of The Matrix, for example.I would highly recommend Tron to anyone interested in what goes on inside a computer. They should watch this film!

krycek19 I have no idea how this is considered a classic. Even in 1982 the effects were very, very bad. The acting is pretty bad as well, the music is annoying and the movie in general is boring.The only two good things are that this is a short movie and it spawned an amazing sequel. The only ones who would have liked this were programmers back then.This movie has so little plot that, watching the much better sequel can be done easily.And the sequel is the only good thing that came out of this crap.Avoid the original.
