Here is my full reaction to the movie Tron!

The only thing I knew about Tron was what I learned while going on the ride at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World. I figured it was some sort of futuristic racing world? Turns out, Tron is much more complicated than that! Tron explores the relationship between humans and the machines they create and questions if we're actually in control of them as they evolve.

Fun fact: Tron was disqualified from a Best Visual Effects nomination at the Academy Awards because the Academy felt that using computers to generate imagery was "cheating".

I did not know that Tron was disqualified from a Best Visual Effects nomination for using computer graphics. I have a feeling we will be seeing similar controversies with films that use AI.

Great trip down movie history lane. TRON: LEGACY, though, (( minus one sliiii...well, let's be honest here, especially with some time having gone by after all...IIIIIIIIIYYYYIOIIIIYIYIYIYIYYYYYIIIII...ok, I'm calm(er) now...iiiiightly prematurely used CG technique on the big screen, and on a BIG character no less )) KICKS its venerable predecessor's digital behind in every possible way. Direction ✔️, each scene has a purpose, each edit its place, simple, effective characterization, hooks find their payoffs (what a novel idea in modern cinema!). The the CG worlds, characters, well, with the one tiiiii(ehm...Y)iiiny misstep, and effects are one of the most satisfying human-molded big-screen pixelage since the first (and only!) Jurassic Park, and all of them more than stood the test of time (yes, minus the single tiny booooold hiccup). ✔️ And, hands down, one of the BEST scores (definitely in an action movie) ever! ✅Bought the soundtrack even before I was able to leave the cinema (...and purchase another ticket for the next day...). Viva la cinema!! P.S. Do yourself a favor, and skip the third travesty with Jared Leto. Looking around at other examples of truly modern/contemporary productions....well, sure....could have been worse, I guess. But that's not a reason enough to watch this particular absurdity. Not after Legacy. Shame. Shame. Good ol' King's Landing Shame.

Another great reaction -- thank you! I would definitely recommend the sequel, Tron: Legacy (2010). I think you will get the closure on the story that you have wanted from the original, plus the soundtrack and effects are amazing.

This is an historically important film for it's use of CGI/VFX, and why Jeff Bridges became a legend for many of, but it's a bit of an oddity as well. Still, it's important to watch to understand the characters and story that lead to a film that I love, Tron Legacy. The sequel has gorgeous visuals and FX and a killer soundtrack by an special duo (the director was a fan of them) and a great story + characters. So I hope you see it too. Not sure about the third, Ares, since I never saw it, but I'll watch it if you do decide to add it.

The Academy Awards snub is even more insulting as "computer graphics" was only a small part of the movie, the majority of it was hand drawn animation made to look computer-generated.

Ed Scoglio

I too am afraid of the dark Jax. No shame in it! The Northridge earthquake in 1994 is what triggered that fear in me. I refused to ride Space Mountain until I was 22 and of course it was because of a girl! I'm gaining a newfound love for Jeff Bridges. He plays a laid-back character so well like here with Flynn and of course with The Dude, but then he goes and does something really serious and intense like Rooster Cogburn in True Grit or as a Texas Ranger in Hell of High Water. The guy is an amazing actor!

Paulo

I love watching this movie.

This is one of my all time favorite movies. I am glad that I was able to watch it with you again for the millionth time! You mentioned about how you wanted to know how they did this movie, so here you go, it's the full Making of Tron. It's about 1hr and 30mins. Video quality it NOT the best, but the audio is clear. Enjoy! https://archive.org/details/youtube-MK0VY-cycCc
