Review of Tron (1982) by Anssi V — 09 Nov 2011
Visually: stunning. Otherwise: not so much. What I mean by this is that while I can respect this film for what it did to the special effects and for its historical value, I just didn't find the story as compelling as I was lead to expect.
It wasn't bad or weak in any form, but it was just your run-down-the-mill "something evil is happening and it needs to be stopped by a bunch of civilian nobodies" - entertaining, but not that original.
That being said, this was just that: entertaining. The story was paced well, the visuals looked amazing for their time (still do, actually) and the actors were talented enough to keep the viewer interested.
So I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys science fiction and to anyone who enjoys beautiful visuals.
