Summary: It started a career
Review: I was 15 when I first saw this movie. Then I was just a boy in a small town in Alabama; today I'm a programmer for Cisco Systems in San Jose CA. I can honestly say I owe that to this movie. Seeing something EXCITING that could be done with computers set me on my current Career path. By today's standards it's fairly dated, but then it was ahead of it's time.

Summary: Tron
Review: This film is excellent. If you own the DVD format, it's worth it (compared to VHS). Tron is a must for any true sci-fi fan. While the film may not have been a blockbuster in '82 it's strength comes from it's special effects, which was at a time when computers were not prevalent in effects technology. The DVD version offers everyone(weather you've seen Tron before or not)the chance to see the film in a high definition, widescreen form. If not for the hair style, clothing, and arcade influence of the period, you almost forget that it was released in 1982. Check it out!

Summary: a fine gnostic parable
Review: Clu is the "earthly" (i.e. computer) embodiment of Flynn; Clu is crucified by the MCP Demiurge, and is "resurrected" as Flynn; after his baptism in the pure-source-of-power "water," the bit (dove) descends and he first utilizes his User-powers. After teaching the programs love (he kisses Yori, the first kiss in the computer world), he leaves the computer world forever. Awesome!

Summary: Way ahead of it's time!
Review: Tron was severely under rated at the time of it's release. Most of the critics (with the exception of Roger Ebert whom I always look up to) and audience overlooked it's deeper concept. It's a shame because Tron is the 1982 version of The Matrix. If a person really looks into the movie, he/she may or may not find spiritual enlightenment. There are so many levels of interest in this movie that it should appeal to everybody. It was made by a different Disney - one with balls. Give it another watch, you'll be happy you did.The DVD version is the choice to buy, but don't expect too much. For such a wonderful movie I was expecting A LOT more. But I'm still giving the movie 5 stars for being itself. The DVD receives about 3.

Summary: Loved TRON, very disappointed with the DVD
Review: I loved the movie Tron but Disney could have done a better job converting it to DVD. A little more attention to detail when cleaning up the film would have been nice. And the lack of extras was disappointing, the trailer was cool to see but it to was in rough shape. So I must give a low rating overall and I strongly disagree with the 4 rating for picture quality.

Summary: greeting's programs. disney can they say rip off
Review: tron is to me a movie that was ahead of it's time. it dealt with surreal ideas and effects that were like nothing seen before. not a thinking movie by any stretch. but it is a good family film with action adventure and a little romance. it is fast paced and interesting. although it is a film that is carried by it's effects. the only problem is disney. yes that big old friendly company who dosen't want to give us any extras to speak of. i am sure there could have been quite alot of interesting things that they could have added to show us. yet they chose not to. the film in itself is good and why you should get it. but the extras are nice to get. incidently 3 of the actors found their way onto babylon 5.

Summary: Stunning!
Review: Considering that this film was made in the early 80's, it is a work of art. Even now, it runs circles around The Matrix and that film was made more than 15 years later!

Summary: A Low Rating Due to Disney's Treatment of this Classic
Review: A studio that is just woefully out of touch. They choose to release very high-priced DVDs with no extras and in the case of Tron, completely omit the material they already had on the laserdisc version. It's almost as if they think they are somehow above the other studios who produce beautiful anamorphic transfers loaded with extras for much less than this. Disney's view is: these are classics and people will do whatever we say to own them. Well, not so. I refuse to support any company that behaves this way, especially one whose last several theatrical animated efforts (Toy Story 2 and A Bugs Life excepted) have been very sloppy with poor stories. My dream is that the stock holders revolt and some of these people get replaced. You have to really wonder who's minding the store at some of these studios and why they are allowed to keep their jobs. Tron is a movie that gets better and better. But who's going to buy it when you KNOW there will be another release with all the extras from the old laser disc

Summary: Loved Tron, Have to see it
Review: Haven't seen the DVD or Video of Tron. But I loved the movie. Recommend it to all. For those of you who are Tron fanatics like me, I wonder if Tron is a veiled retelling in science fiction of the life of Christ and the history of Christianity. For those who think I am crazy, look at the story line. A fallen world (the computer world controlled by the MCP) is cut off from its creator (the users)by a malicious and evil being hostile to his creator. All believers in the creator of the world (Tron and RAM and the like) are viciously persecuted by this evil force hostile to the creator of their world (MCP and Sark). The creator of the world (Flynn) has to become incarnate in the form of his own creation to save it. The creator (Flynn) works miracles by reviving dead people (Laura). The creator incarnate (Flynn) has to suffer death (by flinging himself into the MCP so that Tron can destroy the MCP). The major saint of the story (Tron)proclaims at the end of the movie to his girlfriend the good news that the creator incarnate has saved us by his death. The creator experiences a resurrection experience and returns to the world beyond to take his rightful place in control of the universe (Flynn's rightful take over of the business stolen from him by his enemies). Am I reading things into this movie? Watch the end of the movie just before the credits when the real world is superimposed on the graphics of the computer world. Is this a commentary that we are indeed playing out the Tron senario in our own everyday lives in the struggle to be as loyal to our creator as Tron was to his? Many people are confused by the plot line of Tron. I think this might explain it. If you've seen this movie a hundred times, watch it again looking at my explanation of the meanings of it. It may make more sense, then again maybe not.

Summary: Tron was a turning point in my life!
Review: As a junior high lad in 1982, Tron is the movie that influenced me to learn about computers. The digitally re-mastered widescreen DVD of Tron brought back many memories, mainly because I saw the movie 25 times in the '80's, and still remember much of the dialogue verbatim. Yes, I know, I'm a geek.
