Review of Tron (1982) by Clint C — 21 Jun 2012
A concept so far ahead of its time. One can't begin to convey director/writer Lisberger's genius in all of this.
In fact it takes a computer science major to fully comprehend each and every single parallel witfully drawn. Perhaps that was its demise. Still it didn't matter for some, because as a young boy back in the 80s, free of technical knowledge, I fell in love with this. The imagination was simple then - computers and video games, Like! Atari, Apple, and IBM inlfuences were readily apparent, as was the hackers, pirates versus the corporate conservative and conglomerate. All so clear in present day me, which elevates this movie to even higher status.
Also noted was the ground breaking yet well integrated CGI for 1982, along with the warmest analog soundtrack by Wendy Carlos.
Not exactly the mainstream winner, but definitely of the cult movie status of the highest degree, personally.
