On the other side of the screen, it all looks so easy."
It's all-out war inside a powerful corporate computer, as the evil Master Control Program and his villainous user hold sway over all the other programs that fall into their grasp. It's up to a few determined programs and a human User with godlike powers, to restore order to the system.
It would be a massive understatement for me to say that I'm excited about Tron: Legacy. It has Olivia Wilde in it, it looks really cool, it has Olivia Wilde in it, the teaser trailer was awesome, and, did I mention that it has Olivia Wilde in it? I thought that since there's a pretty strong chance I'm going to see it, I should watch the original movie so that I'll know what's going on. Thankfully, Tron is good enough that it would have been worth watching, anyway.
It's definitely an 80's movie. You'll be able to tell that not only from the characters, language, and the settings, but from the special effects. Some of them are really cool, like the light cycles and the costumes of the programs. Others are incredibly cheesy, like the giant face of Master Control (he looks like Zordon from Power Rangers).
The plot takes a little while to get going, but once we get inside the computer, it's an exciting ride until the end of the movie. It helps a lot if you're somewhat familiar with computer programming and video games, but it's not totally necessary. Tron is a fun movie that is pretty impressive if you judge it by the standards of the time it was made. If you're a fan of the 80's, want to see a young Jeff Bridges showcasing early signs of The Dude, or the story sounds interesting to you, you shouldn't hesitate to check Tron out.
