The original Tron, 1982, was based on the adventures of Kevin Flynn as he enters the Grid in an attempt to eliminate the evil Master Control Program, this leads him to meet simple security program Tron and face off against the MCP's minion Sark.
The film, for those who didn't obsess like hell over this film when they were 12, was criticised when it was released for being "overly reliant on CGI", which when you compare it to the likes of Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, The Great and Powerful Oz, and really a lot of films that have been released in the past 10 years, you see that it is becoming more a norm.
I think that it was a bold move for Disney to venture into this, and honestly it makes me forgive them a little for some of the crap they churn out nowadays, the fact that they were one of the first studios to try this on a large scale paid off, it's a legitimately good film. Even the language programs use is brilliant "Who does he calculate he is" nerdgasmic, and there's nothing better than killing, sorry, "de-rezzing" people with FREAKIN' light frisbees. I could list all the amazing things about this film, the costumes, the ability of the actors, it's all amazing, the only thing about this film which didn't stand out to me as amazing as it could have been was the story, it's nice but it didn't make me emotional, I didn't feel for the characters. When RAM dies I felt a bit sad but there was nothing to connect me to the other characters, and the interactions between characters was lacking in some areas.
In an age of cubey/triangular computer effects this was a gem, I give it a 7/10 for the enjoyment, I'll review the sequel at some point, For those who found "Space Paranoids" in Kingdom Hearts fun, you might like this, now I leave you with an enjoyable poster and the IMDB link.
