Visually iconic but narratively clumsy. It's definitely an acquired taste, and I wouldn't blame you for turning it off once the lightcycle chase is over, but it deserves to be seen for its monumental technical achievements.

Some say that Tron's special effects are dated but I disagree. Tron takes place in the 80's and, at the time, these special effects are what the best computers in the 80's had to offer. The virtual world certainly does have it's own distinct visual style. With all that said the plot itself is pretty thin and even though the film is only an hour and a half it does feel like it could've been shorter. Still worth seeing for the special effects though.

Gets off to a rough start and the acting is pretty bad at parts, and would benefit from more running time and a different pacing, but it's fun. There's some wonderfully endearing escapism in the cheesy psychedelia of the computer world. The plot is simple, but it's sometimes nice to watch something straightforward and simple with a triumphant ending. Not exceptional, but a nice experience overall.

Wooden characters and poor dialogues aside, this was actually a fun trip of pure escapism, featuring an immersive digital world of boundless creativity, though why name the movie after a supporting character ? I guess "Tron" sounded better than "Flynn"...

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.

Dull and listless tech fantasy may have possibly played better in its own time, when its effects (and notions of computers and the internet) were not so horribly dated, but the flat, convoluted and confusing plot inside the VR world (not to mention its hideously ugly production design and characters) make this a tough slog almost from the start. An epic battle between Bridges and Warner should be a pop culture landmark, but this film even strips these iconic guys of their personalities!

So this is complete and utter gibberish. The VFX are groundbreaking, obviously, but it would have been nice if they were in service of a script that wasn't written by a random number generator picking words from a computing textbook. Also would have been nice to have a score from someone like Tangerine Dream instead of whichever wannabe John Williams wrote the existing music.

It goes without saying that the effects are horribly outdated. In fact, watching them today, they are mindnumbingly hideous. But, somehow, they're part of the movie's charm. I couldn't help but commend how ambitious the movie was, in the face of technology that clearly wasn't ready to pull off the digital world properly. Nevertheless, I find this slightly more entertaining than the sequel.

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.

Makes no apologies about its desire 2 get 2 its then-groundbreaking computerized world as soon as possible & stay there. That world still holds up thanks 2 its unique aesthetic & seamless anthropomorphizations of computer concepts: a good thing since there's only the barest bones of plot and character, literally just enough 2 explain who's who & get things rolling. There's hints of a love triangle which rn't so much brushed aside as ignored, but I'm guessing Disney didn't want 2 confuse the kids

The plot is bad to the extreme, but it's very ahead of it's time in pretty much every way. While the animation may be bad by today's standard this is obviously an incredibly impressive film visually considering when it was made. Also, some of the effects (lighting of the suits and other stuff) are still very impressive by today's standard. Something about this is just very enjoyable. Badly written and badly acted however, so it's only good enough. Worth a watch.

Tron came out (5 years) after Star Wars, with Disney money ($5m more) yet looks considerably worse, but kudos for trying something so different. Visually, the scenes in the senior executive's office look the most futuristic, while he "in-game" scenes are seem to be composed of glowing blocks. Probably innovative for its time, it looks quite dated now. The plot isn't bad, just a little under-developed. Bridges seems to be having fun, and at least Tron: Legacy came out of it.

An example of where the visual design came first and the 'story' was simply an excuse to make it. Despite it being completely time bound, this is a singular visual experience, and much effort went into the conceptual world building; the digital vistas are often striking and memorable, and the use of diagonal lines and negative space borders on abstraction. A shame then that the plot is merely a previs style outline in comparison.

A pretty unique movie with a very particular visual taste that has not been done again since. The main concept, an anthropomorphized internal computer world with its own life is great in itself; but what they did with it visually with relatively meager means is crazy. It is like watching a nice piece of history; a way of looking at the world that is gone now as our understanding of graphics went another way, it is a philosophical experience in that aspect.

Top badass moment? It looks like the original BattleZone, the only computer game I was ever actually good at. Like Teletubbies and the Magic Roundabout, this is a film only stoned students and those under ten can truly appreciate. With a plot weaker than a Magikarp and characters so thin they'd give Sir Bob nightmares, the only reason to watch it now is to hear the cool motorbike engine sounds; and see Captain Sheridan before he was commander of Babylon 5. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

I've seen this film twice now, once as a child and now again as a adult, and both times I found the plot confusing and difficult to follow, a complaitn which might be fine for a Lynch or Malick film, but inexcusable for a Disney-made Action-adventure film. The Production Design still is absolutely on-of-a-kind though, and there truly is no other film that looks like this (including the sequel) and so for that it might be worth your time.

It might have looked great in 1982, but I doubt anyone would have been too impressed with the content, that is to say the lack of it. The movie makes no pretensions of having the main story be anything else than an excuse to get the viewer in to the virtual world as soon as possible. Sadly, the virtual world is just that and hides behind the special effects.

gets major brownie points for being one of the first movies with computer animation, but computer animation gets dated about every three years these days, and this was twenty-eight years ago. that aside it's a pretty great kids flick full of action and adventure, so it's definitely worth a watch on that merit alone.

Obviously I watched this 28 years too late, but I recognize the originality of basing a film on this much CG already back then. As I had been told, the lightcycle battle scene on the grid is pretty awesome; even when having seen Tron Legacy first. But the outfits and scenery must have looked just as laughable back in '82 as they do now. The story works pretty well, especially compared to the sequel (which probably would have benefited from being an actual remake, instead a remake/sequel mix).

Almost as captivating as I remembered it as a kid. Yes, the CG is premature, the plot is bumpy at best and the scene structure is a bit heavy on the Star Wars inspirations in terms of both visual and auditive matters. But nonetheless Tron offers a truly original and elevating adventure ride - that stands the test of time way better than I could have ever imagined.

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.

I recall my father telling me, many many years ago, in the Northcote pool car park (if I recall correctly), that there was a sequel to TRON, and that Leonard Maltin rated it the lowest possible score in his movie guide. Then he summarised: "Yeah, new Tron. Bomb." He thought it was pretty funny. Perhaps it was prophecy.

Tron is an interesting film in several ways. It is significant for the pioneering use of CGI and the story is interesting on many points. Sure the graphics looks dated... but in a very cool way. I still think it succeeds in creating an exciting and cold 3D world, strongly distanced from our world. Tron doesn't look like anything you've seen before, so it's not difficult to understand the movie cult status.

I didn't grow up with Tron. I didn't end up watching Tron until I was in my twenties but there is something about this movie that just speaks to me. I love cyberpunk esthetics and even though this isn't cyberpunk there is enough 80's and computer Sci-fi throughout to make it an honorary member of the cyberpunk film cannon. The graphics hold up well for a 40 year old film. The casting is great. There were some weak moments scrip-wise but since it's a kid movie from the 80's, let's give it a pass.

Fact that the digital world behaves more human than the outside one is really a bummer -- they get tortured, battle in gladiator-like duels, have feelings, even kiss!

Much, much better than I remembered. Sure, it's got flaws: the writing and acting in the first half hour (especially Bruce Boxleitner's) is shaky, and the resolution is a bit abrupt. But computers have never, before or since, been so abstractly beautiful, or so elementally wondrous. And it's entertaining, too: the lightcycle race is a masterful set piece, Jeff Bridges is a fun cocky hero, and David Warner is deliciously villainous. Delightful production design; Wendy Carlos' score is fantastic.

Visually, this still looks cool as hell, and I love "trapped in the videogame" stories because it's what every kid dreamed of, but boy is everything else just awful. The actors seem like they're on the verge of laughing in several scenes. David Warner is the only one who does any sort of commendable job. The computer world looks completely deserted and feels further lifeless by having no music. Best appreciated as an optimistic tribute to the very important era of technology it came from.

Jeff Bridges, Babylon Five's Bruce Boxleitner, and David Warner as the evil bad guy (The exec Ed Dillinger, the game player Sark, and the Voice of the Master Control Program) all provide very fun performances. They are able to make this crazy environment work well enough that it still comes across as a rather cool cyberpunk flick. And truly, if you're into VR cyberpunk movies, Tron is a MUST SEE - so much so that one point has added to this review score for its historical place in VR films.

This is a damn good time, practically defining escapist entertainment. The plot is a toddler's view of computer science and corporate espionage, and hell the guy wins by playing video games. But that naivety in plot and graphics work doesn't age it - just creates a very particular world that congeals very nicely, with sprinklings of religious subtext. Nothing's quite like it.

Interesting visual style but the novelty wears off within about five minutes. Then it's basically an 85 minute struggle to stay awake.

Thank the users for such a trippy movie! I will tell you one thing, next time a blow up a video game character, I might actually wonder if I just sent a computer program to it's death. I thought this was definitely a fun film and was visually very beautiful and had some really nice effects for when it came out. This came out at the same time as Blade Runner but I thought it had much better CGI available. Probably because of all the crazy Disney cash available to them. I loved this movie.

The motion picture version of the classic confrontation of blue vs. red.

I imagine this would have been a ton of fun at the time, but it doesn't hold up well. Jeff Bridges is cool as the lead, but it's otherwise pretty dull. I am a bit sad I couldn't see this when the effects and concept were groundbreaking though

The best thing about this film is its special effects. The computer graphics and general visual effects are very impressive for the time. The film itself is fairly simple and conventional (not to mention cheesy and with lame dialogue), being at least partly aimed at a younger audience. However, it does have some adult themes, including a nice religion allegory.

Tron ends up working quite well, although to get full enjoyment out of it, you'll need to be okay with computer jargon, dated visuals and a lack of focus on the plot and characters. I was, and ended up with an enjoyable adventure film about a man in a strange world who needs to save the day. It's not a perfect film, but I can definitely see how it became a cult classic and why it has incredibly devoted fans. If you're a fan of video games or like adventure films, you'll have fun.

The plot is questionable at best but it's still a hugely entertaining and ground breaking classic.

i love this movie. So very much. It's an excellent film about video games and computers. A must watch for gamers and lovers of films that make early use of advanced special effects.

For an enhanced viewing experience, turn the sound off, vacuum your house and do your best to ignore the "story".

For 1982, the graphics are amazing, and perhaps somewhat progressive for its time. Not much else good about it.

There are films, bands, artists that when you look back to an origin of their genre have been regarded as groundbreaking. This film has the same reputation amongst some critics. There is a fine line between being legitimately groundbreaking and just being first. If only the quality of Tron's storyline met the pioneering designs of the CGI artist. Avatar has the same problem, at least Tron can be rightfully traced as the origin of films possessing a rushed plot line wrapped in contemporary gloss.

Pretty overrated by some people, but not an altogether bad movie. I know effects wise this was a big thing when it came out, and I should take that into account when rating it. Unfortunately, when the vast majority of the movie relies on these effects and they just look cheesy I have a hard time separating it.

Sehr trashig und bisweilen auch erstaunlich hässlich (die Gesichter in den Computerszenen) und komischer Musikuntermalung. Manchmal hatte ich das Gefühl, manche Szenen wurden zu Schwarz/Weiß-Film-Zeiten gedreht. Die Geschichte ist nicht nur hanebüchen, sondern auch lächerlich. Erstaunlich ernst nimmt sich der Film auch noch, ich zählte 3 Gags (bis auf Pac-Man als Übersichtskarte, das war super).
