... View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

... View MoreTron works well on paper and even in concept but what the film required for success was a juggernaut that could fuel it. It beautifully masters the tone and feel of an arcade game while still being able to get emotional.
... View MoreIt wasn't until last decade I watched this film. But it was very good and it was by Disney. Some good actors (including David Warner and Jeff Bridges) and a believable virtual world. In fact, I like this a lot better than 1999's The Matrix. If you haven't seen it, and want a family-friendly cyberpunk film, give this a go. It's not as violent as The Matrix and it's also not as disturbing. Just a game world with lots of flashy lights and the first use of computer animation, way before there was Shrek and Toy Story. Now that I think about it, I like this the most of all those CGI-animated films. So what are you waiting for?
... View MoreAugust 6, 2017 Tron provides simple, beautiful electronic landscapesSome films go beyond its audience. Their clear visions come at a price. Steven Lisberger's Tron is one such film, it premiered in 1982 and grew no audience. "It's too confusing", that was the comment i kept hearing from friends who saw it with me many years ago. The rest of the world seemed to agree. But that consensus has changed. Two decades later it's considered a classic. What happened? Is it a severe case of audience jet lag ?. Maybe yes; we had to catch up on computer technology. I enjoyed the film, now and then. From costume design to screenplay Tron stands tall.Dressed for successTron's costumes are a landmark in design. Observe them carefully, they have complex, colorful, intense circuitry. Although they are one of the iconic images of the film, these costumes were not drawn by a computer, real artists painted them. Their names are listed in the end credits in Taiwanese. The filmmakers used traditional 'photographic animation'. The director filmed the actors wearing spandex costumes against a black background, then each frame was retouched in multiple layers. Instead of animating a 'drawing', the filmmakers animated a photograph. All frames were painted in Taiwan and sent back to America. This is a computer movie built, in part, without the help of computers. The result is a unique, retro-futuristic look. But if a filmmaker wanted to reprise the look of Tron today, he would need to replicate this painful, expensive technique used more than 20 years ago. Such attempt is not an appetizer to any movie studio nor investor, it just does not happen anymore. Tron is electronic art.continue review here:http://fun.sytes.net/movie-quest/tron-movie-review-1982/http://fun.sytes.net/movie-quest/tron-movie-insight-1982/
... View MoreThis movie was never really in my era when it was out but this was pretty good considering the time it was made. There was of good acting from Bruce as Tron and David Warner was also very good as Sark and the voice of the MCP.This movie also did include lots of different puzzles that were good for my brain and the characters in the film to solve.The only problem with the movie is that it is too short and the effects weren't that advanced at the time when it was made considering it was made 17 years before I was born. Which I know can't be helped because of the technology at the time.
