Review of Tron (1982) by Dann M — 26 Jul 2014
"Do you believe in the Users?" A film ahead of its time, Tron is an extraordinarily creative and imaginative film. The story follows a computer hacker named Kevin Flynn who's transported into a computer system where he discovers a cyber-world that's being overrun by a tyrannical program called the MCP, who's forcing programs to fight to the death on the Game Grid.
The plot is full of fascinating, high-minded computer concepts, and presents them in an innovative way. Additionally, the film combines computer and hand-drawn animation, creating a remarkably unique visual style.
Still, the look of the film is very dated, and the plot doesn't really follow through on a lot of the ideas it presents. Tron reaches beyond its grasp, but it still delivers an entertaining and fun adventure.
