The dialogues are not the best, the cinematography is a bit boring and the overall rhythm of the movie is way too slow for today's youngsters, but the technology used was the state of the art back in the day when the movie was filmed.
Being a movie released in 1982, the special effects are rudimentary, at times confusing, and somewhat annoying (the colors are too bright), but computer and video game geeks like myself will surely love this movie. The plot is simple as compared to other movies of that era (like "Star Wars"), but the concept behind computer stuff is quite complex. And visionary, I might add.

I love the song played in the closing credits: "Only Solutions", by Journey. Another song by Journey ("Separate Ways") is featured in "Tron: Legacy", thus giving an idea of continuity.

Tron is a must-see for every science fiction fan.
Kudos to Steven Lisberger for envisioning a computerized world that still makes us dream.… Expand

In my humble opinion, Tron: Legacy is a better film. Mostly because the soundtrack, CGI, and certain aspects of the plot were improved.(eg. the villain) But Tron is definitely a competent, well made, clever film as well. I have zero doubtIn my humble opinion, Tron: Legacy is a better film. Mostly because the soundtrack, CGI, and certain aspects of the plot were improved.(eg. the villain) But Tron is definitely a competent, well made, clever film as well. I have zero doubt about that. The attention to detail in the Grid is awesome, the script is good, the effects are well done, and the music, occasionally, improves the film a lot. However, the CGI can look very bad at certain points, and the dialogue can be cheesy and/or awkward at points too. But overall, Tron is a decent, well done film that, despite it's age, you will be glad you saw.… Expand

I don't know about anybody else but I really quite like this movie. While I did love its concept, I do agree some parts are difficult to comprehend at times and at others there is a slow rhythm making the film not quite as compelling as itI don't know about anybody else but I really quite like this movie. While I did love its concept, I do agree some parts are difficult to comprehend at times and at others there is a slow rhythm making the film not quite as compelling as it would have liked. Regardless, I still like TRON a lot, especially for the superb effects and visuals and unique sound effects, both assets of which are quite ahead of their time. Also the soundtrack is very memorable and fits perfectly, and even with the odd stilted moment the dialogue intrigues. The direction is good enough and serves its purpose well in the more action-packed moments, and I did like the characters and acting. Jeff Bridges is charming and likable with a cool character, while David Warner comes close to stealing the show. All in all, a very intriguing film then and now and ahead of its time. 8/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

That's a good 80s load. That's exactly what Tron is. You can feel the atmosphere of the game room and the overall computer technology of the time and it's delicious. A wonderful spectacle for the eyes with a good plot. A pretty original ideaThat's a good 80s load. That's exactly what Tron is. You can feel the atmosphere of the game room and the overall computer technology of the time and it's delicious. A wonderful spectacle for the eyes with a good plot. A pretty original idea for me, too. Nowadays a classic and for me a good film that I recommend.… Expand

Groundbreaking for its visuals first and foremost, TRON blends classic fantasy with (for the time) new-school tech to create an awe-inspiring science fiction film with a fun action-packed ride and a lovely synth score by Wendy Carlos.
