  Some day we'll look back and laugh
  
  Its an interesting thought that in 20 years time we'll look back on the likes of Avatar and this movies very own sequel and cringe at the shocking CGI. That... read more »

  Stands the test of time... ish?
  
  I saw this in '82 and was very impressed then. CGI has come a very long way since and this really shows it. But this is a classic and if you haven't ... read more »

  Still brilliant after all these years!
  
  As it had been years since I last saw Tron I had forgotten just how good it was and still is. Ground-breaking graphics at the time it was made in 1982, they ... read more »

  Brilliant Classic
  
  Engaging and with new ideas for its generation. Graphics may be dated now but at the time they were superb IMO

  If only Bill Gates...
  
  Great film
  
  It has dated quite badly, but if you watched it in it's day, it still has the magic now.

  Fashionable again?
  
  Tron, like many things from the 1980's, seems to be enjoying a bit of a revival of late, what with The Strokes paying homage to it in their recent promo ... read more »

  A timeless classic. If you haven't seen this film for ages, get it back out again. Brilliant!
