Bring on… TRON. Tomorrow night, for better or worse! Haha. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to help me really think about this one. Appreciate you. But we’re throwing caution to the wind and posting it anyway. Batten down the hatches! Or perhaps a more computer relevant expression! ;) 🖤

TRON (1982) - MOVIE REACTION - First Time Watching

Tron is a 1982 American science fiction action adventure film written and directed by Steven Lisberger from a story by Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird. The film stars Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn, a computer programmer and video game developer who is transported inside the software world of a mainframe computer where he interacts with programs in his attempt to escape. It also stars Bruce Boxleitner, David Warner, Cindy Morgan, and Barnard Hughes. Tron was one of cinema's earliest films to use extensive computer-generated imagery (CGI).

Doesn't even matter! We'll still enjoy it!

Good call. I’m proud of you for this. Some people might rip on you, but it’s your channel. We want to see your reactions. You’ll get plenty of support. I have a busy night tomorrow but I will try and watch it. I just haven’t decided yet if I’m going to support you on rip on you. 😉

Ok. I’m in. I’ll watch your reaction. I saw this movie only once a very long time ago. Never had an interest to see it a second time. I respect the work that goes into any movie, but Tron just wasn’t for me. By the way, you’re almost at 60K subscribers on YT and it hasn’t even been year yet. Very impressive! Congratulations on your success!!

Hmmm, has this movie aged well ?, Probably not, does this film have a particularly captivating storyline ?, no.... BUT, it IS a a wonderful time capsule of a movie that was groundbreaking on it's release and a film that everyone should see at least once in their lifetime and I applaud you for reacting to it.... we'll all still be there for it.

Harvey Lee

I’ll be here for this , Tron still has a very unique look to it and plus the sound effects are great as well, so I will be here to support you Coby ♥️

I accidentally deleted my original comment. But I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your reaction during the full watch along, and will be sure to leave a like on the YouTube highlights.

It definitely has an early 80s feel for story line assumption gaps, however it has important story background for Tron Legacy (one of my favs) and of course the new one coming out next week!

Yes, Space invaders was absolutely a real game. I played it hundreds of times in the late 1970s. I think my video gaming days ended in 1977 or perhaps 1978. But I’ve never heard of a game called Space Paranoids…other than in Tron.

Coby, you were actually generous. Tron’s special effects were so bad that it was funny.. I recall we thought it was funny even in 1982. Im glad you also got a laugh out of it. I hope you didn’t have to put too much editing effort into the YT cut for this one.

EOL - end of line! Haha! Used somewhat out of typical context in this movie. EOL (aka NL - New Line) is an abbreviation to represent a special control character determines when a row of data ends and another row of data starts, for most but not all file systems.

Coby it is absolutely fine if you don't like this film. There are films I despise that that other people adore (ex: Napoleon Dynamite). However, in defense of the movie I will say the visuals (which I think are beautiful...especially on the big screen) are almost entirely comprised of traditional animation. Just about the only CGI in the film are the lightcycles and the butterfly-looking solar sailor. Having seen the movie three times as an eleven year old in the summer of '82 I can attest to people being impressed by those effects. Another think I loved was the organ score and song by Journey. The AI-related story was also interesting and now seems prescient. But...the film isn't for everyone and that's OK.

I don't mind the premise, and I like the way they drew parallels between the real world and the computer world at the beginning and end of the film (as Coby immediately noticed). The graphics have always been hit or miss for me; some impressive for the time, some ridiculous. The real problem is the script, specifically the dialog. It's like someone bought an "Intro to Computers" textbook and decided that every term in the glossary that sounded remotely like an English word needed to be crammed into the script come hell or high water. It was cringey in 1982 and hasn't improved with age.

Jim

It was mind blowing at the time. We had never seen computer graphics like this before. Even critics who didn’t care for the story often mentioned that the graphics were jaw dropping. This was a groundbreaking film at the time. One of the most famous video games in history was created from this movie.

As far as other well-known actors in this movie, Bruce Boxleitner (Alan/Tron) was a big TV star in the 80s. But more importantly, Dillinger/Sark was played by David Warner, who is a truly great British actor. I think the cheesiness of the movie is partially because it was intended for younger audiences. There's a reason it's a Disney movie. It was targeted at 10-12 year olds, I'm sure.

Going through movies for Halloween, I rediscovered a real gem. Innocent Blood (1992). It's a movie that should hit a poll for Halloween. Or you could just watch it if you haven't already.
