Disney's entrance into the video-game craze of the early 1980's. Interesting enough little situational premise, but it just doesn't go as far as you'd think (or hope). Jeff Bridges plays a man who gets pulled into the action of the very video game that he's designing. Like I said, clever ideas, but I like the video game itself as much as (or better than) the movie.

No better time to see this than the year its sequel finally arrives...28 years later...
The computerized look is unique, and Jeff Bridges briefly tries to liven things up by treating the situation like a fun adventure, but beyond that this is a curious failure. The visuals become exponentially less engaging as the movie progresses, offering no new or bigger surprises the further we go (a big climax revealing the game's best ideas should have been mandatory, for one thing), and the shred of a storyline follows suit.
Aside from an '80s time capsule value, "Tron" amounts to and will forever remain a cult oddity (certainly not the big game-changing hit Disney was hoping for), and like most cult flicks it's not very effective as a movie beyond reveling its specific brand of loopiness. I can't help assume that "Tron: Legacy" will meet the same fate with diminished results. Hopefully it'll at least look cool the first time we see it
