Tron My first reaction to watching this movie was like, 'yikes someone had a large budget to dispose of!' Seriously Tron looks feels and sounds expensive, even more so considering it's from 1982. The plot is about a video game designer called Flyn, who is zapped in to a game called Tron (obviously!). Once zapped inside the computer system he has to return it to a free system by destroying the security program, only after this can he leave the computer. From the looks of the zapping inside the computer scene, I guessed I was in for a sci-fi special effect treat! Most of the film is set in a computer generated world within the computer system, which looks great. This definatly is a recommended film to sci-fi fans, but even if you don't particularly like sci-fi give it a go. Unlike most films of this genre it breaks away from the cryptic techno-babble associated with them, which all to easily wards off potential viewers. + Good effects, Good plot and script that avoids the techno-jargon pitfall that traps many sci-fi films. - We don't learn much about the characters, they missed a huge opportunity to build on them and interest the viewer more. |
