Was up late a couple of days ago and watched this movie. Any of you remember it? It was quite the flashback to my youth, 1982 or so, when computers were just coming around. Its neat to be able to say you were there when such a large social/economical shift occured. Somewhat like being around when cars and planes came about. I forgot how corny and low tech this movie was. Most of the time the actors are walking around in foam suits with neon accents . Of course their faces were black and white. What a great way to relive your youth!!! I think Wargames came out about the same time. What a great flick! Watching them use the headset 300 baud modems...oohhh I wanted one of those... . "Do you want to...play a game?" Anyone else remember these movies?!
I was born 5 years after Tron was made but I saw it and it is a good movie! Graphics get ridiculous sometimes but I like it.
Sure it is. Ok, what? The computer scans your body detecting all molecular structures at the basic sub atomic level & records the structural map. Then by light wave (high end), projects the info to a given spot & reconfigures the matter using elemental substances: protons, electrons & neutrons available. Its as simple as that!
Is there anyone in the world that doesn't like this movie besides me? Everyone I know love it. I've never been able to stay awake through the whole thing. EVER.
i watched it again for the first time in over 20 years in december: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66359 btw, anyone else love the song Paris to Berlin?
I saw this movie when it came out and loved it! I was of the generation that played all these video games back when they were goverment projects to train the youth for the next generation of military equipment. I also watched it on Sci-Fi the other night, still enjoy it. I would love to acquire the TRON video game from 20 years ago, but they are rare.
I saw that on tv. I was flipping through the channels and I see something and thought, "hey is that tron?" So I changed the channel...
Roger Ebert screened the 70mm theatrical print at his movie festival at the University of Illinois a couple of years ago. It was pretty cool. I had a Java version of a light-cycle knockoff a while ago. That was addicting as hell.
Tom's Hardware just put up an interesting Tron retrospective: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/2006/03/16/tron_uk/
