It was just on TV and it was pretty crappy. It has a lot of holes in the story that makes you say "WTF happend just now?" The graphics are pretty damn good for 1982 but other than that it bites the big one. Cult classic my ass.

I dont remember this arcade version

I like that movie when it first released. It is fun to watch it two weeks ago on TV. the graphics is really poor when compared to today's standard

yes, that is what the big deal was


The film many people associate with the (difficult) birth of Hollywood computer graphics is Disney's Tron, released in 1982. The effects for Tron were created by a number of fledgling production facilities: III, Magi Synthavision, Digital Effects (of New York), and Robert Abel and Associates. Despite its intriguing and attractive imagery, the poor critical and public response to Tron, as a film, together with some delays and difficulties during production, put a chill on the CGI industry that probably slowed its growth for a time. Indeed, most of the CGI production companies involved in Tron are no longer in business and none are currently involved in computer graphics production.

If you saw it on TV, you have no way of knowing how it was edited. That may be why it seemed like there were holes in the story. I saw the original film (a long time ago), and I recall that it was pretty good for its time. Of course, knowing 'puters as we do, now, I'm sure a lot of stuff wouldn't hold up.

What is needed is a kind of remake, based on today's technology. Not necessarily a revisit to the old storyline with its "MCP", but I bet they could come up with something good (then again, this is Hollywood we're talking about, the same folks who put together xXx..)

Neuromancer, if it's done right, could fit the bill, but I don't have faith that anyone could do it right.

Yeah but why do I get the feeling you started out in negative territory? And yes for the slow ones that means you're just in greater negative region now.

As for Tron, meh it was a long time ago, get over it. Now as for modern movies, oh yeah they're great, like Zoolander, and its ilk. I hate that Gay Focker and every gay fockin movie he is in. Stiller is a retard.
