Review of Tron (1982) by Geff P — 12 Jan 2011
TRON is ridiculously out of date, but it should be remembered, not for the poor pacing, silly story or horrendous, hammy acting (Boxleitner and Morgan are the real offenders; Bridges and Warner are over the top but are entertaining and effective); but for its visual innovation, which was uniquely monochromatic for its time (early influences on both The Matrix and Sin City, perhaps), and for the fact that it created a computerized world with no CGI whatsoever, making it several years ahead of its time.
It's of little interest to anybody other than CGI and design enthusiasts, but it still deserves a little spot in the time capsule.
