  • 3 stars out of 5

    Disney's journey toToy Story began with this dazzling electronic fantasy. Once computer genius Jeff Bridges entered cyberspace to prove himself the rightful inventor of stolen game patents, director Steven Lisberger broke cinematic territory by using, and inventing, state-of-the-art digital graphics to depict a bizarre video netherworld. The “light cycle” race — where machines create solid walls of colour behind them as they speed around a grid — is the highlight of a complex, but lighthearted, adventure. It's dated already, but video-game enthusiasts will love it.

    Instant Classic - Disney at it's best

    Having seen this movie over 400 times, owned it on various formats, VHS, DVD etc, i have to say i have never been dissappointed watching this film.

    It has everything that a modern classic has, and the special effects (from the 80's) in this movie, dont even look outdated to this day, this was the first movie to use full Human/CGI (Matrix etc).

    You got to own this for your collection

    Didnt age well

    I remember when I first saw this film.It was cutting edge.A brilliant looking film. And it still looks great,its just now,I like a little acting with my special effects. Somehow they managed to squeeze all of the life out of Jeff bridges. Maybe it was due to acting in front of endless blue screens and 'pretending' to be dodging energy discs. Hey this was 1982,this type of acting was new.

    I enjoyed seeing it again,but its not something I'll go back to again.
