Review it

BWell, from today's POV this would only be "C" but when it came out (1982), TRON was absolutely the coolest thing for us SF- and computer-games kids. Also, I'm a big fan of Moebius. The designs are really unique and easily recognisable even after 30 years. Sure, the effects were completely outdated even 5 years after but that was not the point - this was a new world created inside the computer! Maybe TRON was underwhelming at the box office, but it had an enormous impact on pupular culture (more than Disney's other nice SF film "The Black Hole", rather in the league of "Alien").The drawback is that it's nearly all style and little substance - the story itself and the acting are not that interesting. When I watched this in preparation for "Tron Legacy" I fast-forwarded quite a bit because, frankly, I got bored. Stil, I have a lot of love for this film!
