the visual is top-tier compared to the plot but overall it's a great film 8/10.

TRON

Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) is convinced that former colleague Ed Dillinger (David Warner) stole his games for his company. With help from Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner) and Lora (Cindy Morgan), he sneaks into the company. However Dillinger's powerful A.I. the Master Control Program (MCP) digitizes Flynn and sends him into the world of the computer programs. Does the science work? No. Do anything here seems the least bit realistic? No. But it works as an action adventure. The visual design is completely unique and absolutely iconic. Forget about believability. Just allow yourself to enjoy the adventure.

This may have been great for the time, unique story and good special effects, nothing really like it at the time. But now, it really is not anything special, the effects are okay but are very dated, the acting is not very good. The story was interesting a bit and the it was unique, I thought the experience was fine. Not really good but not really bad.

I remember seeing Tron in the cinemas at its time of release, wow nearly 40 years ago! Definitely Tron was way ahead of its time, and really made you believe that computers could have a life of its own. Who would have thought with AI and all that maybe Tron is as prophetic as say The Social Network.
