HOORAY!!!!! Christmas has come early! I can't wait to watch your reactions. If you guys like first person shooters, TRON 2.0 is great.

Ian Forbes

Haven’t rewatched this in decades so this oughta be fun. 🙂. Hoping a reaction to Tron: Legacy is coming up soon. The score (Daft Punk) and visuals (same director as Top Gun: Maverick, Oblivion, and F1) are great.

Love Tron! -edit- Yes all the "animations" were done on computer, groundbreaking stuff at the time. Processing the light cycle chase took weeks if not longer! The irony is that the movie was denied a nomination for SFX at the Oscars as they considered using computers "cheating" at the time. Lol, how times changed. Love Tron Legacy too; clearly a work of love from fans of the former movie, matched perfectly with Daft Punk, building upon wat Tron left behind. The third one is a blatant cash grab by Disney, rewrites and changes things for no reason other then some suit thought "oh this is what people want, people don't want a movie with a soul, they just want cool stuff". Imho the third franchise Disney ruined this decade; if you want to kill your darlings -> let Disney take care of them. But for now: greetings program! Let's watch this classic, so curious to your reactions! End of line ;)

Now, imagine seeing this as a 7 year old in 1982. Groundbreaking at the time. Then, followed up by the touring Disney's TRON On Ice skating extravaganza. Oh, I remember it vividly.

Hope you'll continue with the two sequels Legacy and Ares

Just want to point out that this movie has two of my favorite characters from the ultimate Sci Fi series ever. Bruce Boxleitner and Peter Jurassik. The series in question of course being 'Babylon 5'. If you ever need to see the penultimate classic SciFi series, that's my suggestion. Edit: Since you asked, the laser bay scenes in Tron (1982) were filmed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California. The production used the real SHIVA laser facility there as the set — it already looked sufficiently futuristic that they didn't need to build much.

This was the first VHS I ever rented aged 12. We had one family TV and had one brand new family VHS player. This meant the whole family sat and watched TRON. My step-father made me promise to never, ever put him through something like this again.

I have't watched this before. It doesn't look like my cup of tea, to be honest, but I'll give a fair shake.

That sound of Flynn's arcade is 100% authentic 80s nostalgia gold. I lived for that sound, but due to my location would only visit arcades one or two weeks a year until my later teens when the Trocadero arcade in London opened up. I could name every single cabinet just by its sound. On holiday even when I had no money, I would stalk the arcades until someone came in to play the games, so that I could be on their shoulders watching them. Learning from them. The little hand held game Flynn plays in his office is interesting. Back in the early 80s manufacturers wanted to cash in on the arcade gold rush for home users, but were wary of the steep costs, and intense competition for home video game console markets (there were loads, most of which crashed within a few years). So there were an absolute ton of these small hand held games, mostly just one game (and maybe a watch/ alarm if you were lucky) which most kids had one or two. On end of school days where we were not doing lessons, everyone brought their handheld games in so we could all share them. Nintendo started their home markets here with their awesome Game'n'Watch (I had Donkey Kong II which was awesome). It's interesting that when these markets died out in the late 80s, that it was not until the SEGA Game Gear, Atari Lynx and PSP portable through to the Nintendo DS (SO similar to a modern day Game'n'Watch) that the handheld market picked up any momentum.

Yes, TRON 2.0 was excellent and did a great job of expanding on the feel of the film.

TRON went way over-budget iirc and hence was a financial failure for Disney in theaters but did very well in home video which was still very new at time this came out. I know I rented it from the local video store repeatedly and later when we could afford a video player, I had the big Disney clamshell of it. Wore that tape out, I may still have in a box somewhere. The visual development, concept, and execution is still unique and I agree that there isn't anything like it even now, that isn't a derivative work essentially. The art department was stacked with huge names like Jean "Moebius" Giraud, Syd Mead, Henry Sellick, and Drew Struzan, who all became pretty big names in film, animation, and just like pop/film art. If you do a google search on any of them you are likely to recognize if not something you have seen before, at the least you will see how it influenced things you have seen. The music was done by Wendy Carlos who is one of the pioneers of electronic music and I love the sound-scape of the whole movie. TRON, Star Wars, anything by the Henson company, and Transformers defined pretty much my whole childhood but by far TRON endured longest for me as a thoughtful and interesting piece of media. As a kid t was just a cool looking thing but much like Yoda in ESB there is a lot of cool existential thought introduced in a very palatable way for young minds and it legit change the way my brain works...in a good way. I see Legacy in a poll that just came up and I am very interested to see how you guys feel about it. I highly recommend watching "TRON: Uprising" on Disney plus or where-ever you can get it, it is very good. It is 1 season (19 eps, 20-ish minutes each, with cool, stylized, animation, a stacked voice cast, and it is set between TRON (1982) and Legacy". Not needed to enjoy Legacy but I feel like it makes Legacy better.

I saw some folks on your YT channel suggesting The Black Hole from Disney if you want something else like this one. I am formally adding that to the suggestion list. 😄 It's not a GREAT movie by any means, but it's also very unique, has a great cast, and an amazing score. It's also surprisingly dark for a Disney movie.

Over50Gamer

Yes! Definitely Tron Legacy! It's actually a good continuation of the story for the generation after. I haven't seen Ares yet and I'm wondering if it's worth seeing.

The second one is better in every conceivable way. Especially the Daft Punk soundtrack.

Thadman

This movie was the 1st movie that I saw in the theater more than 2x. And yes, I did seen Star Wars in the theater, but I saw it 2x. I saw this 4x. It spoke to me as a young high schooler, whose dad was a computer programmer/systems analyst. I really like the 2nd one also. Didn't see the 3rd and your description of it is very disappointing. I'll still see it eventually, but there's no rush since I haven't heard anyone say good things about it. Again, very disappointing.

Thadman

Funny that I never registered them both being in Babylon 5. I really liked that show, but I never rewatched it, so I don't remember detail. I should definitely rewatch it. This movie made me, instantly, a fan of both Bruce Boxleitner and Jeff Bridges. 😁

Thadman

I haven't seen Ares either and am in no rush after reading what Ramius down below said. I agree that Legacy is a really good continuation. I wished the 3rd movie had continued on that ending, but it doesn't look like Ares did.

Hans Engelen

Oh yes, it brought together a massive cast. But there will always be a special place in my heart for the performances of Peter Jurassik and the amazing Andreas Katsulas. Their performances made the show unforgettable.
