Leave your thoughts about Tron.
| CinemaBlend.comJoshua TylerTron didn't just come up with a new special effects, it came up with new things to use those new kinds of special effects on. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHere's a technological sound-and-light show that is sensational and brainy, stylish, and fun. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasDated effects, of course, but still nerdy fun after all these years. |
| People MagazinePeople StaffSeeing it is like spending two hours in a hardware store gussied up with streamers and flashing lights. It's different, but it's not entertainment. |
| TheMovieChicks.comCherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneThe special effects are dated, but at the time they were awesome. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinIt is beautiful -spectacularly so, at times - but dumb. Computer fans may very well love it, because Tron is a nonstop parade of stunning computer graphics, accompanied by a barrage of scientific-sounding jargon. Though it's certainly very impressive, it may not be the film for you if you haven't played Atari today. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenIt's as if Fritz Lang had set Metropolis, his silent, science-fiction classic, in a disco. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerWithout the rosy filter of nostalgia, it's a virtually unwatchable virtual-reality saga. |
| 7M PicturesKevin Carressential 80s, and it's glorious in that respect |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellMore important for its revolutionary visual effects than anything else, the film is both entertaining and prescient. |
