From: utzoo!decvax!microsof!fluke!vax1:dan Newsgroups: net.movies Title: Tron review (not a spoiler) Article-I.D.: vax1.141 Posted: Mon Jul 12 09:42:59 1982 Received: Tue Jul 13 09:44:06 1982 I thoroughly enjoyed Tron. I heard so many bad things about it that I was pleasantly surprised. There is indeed a plot, although it won't win any awards for complexity. It's your basic GOOD VS EVIL, with a few twists thrown in. Those expecting science fiction will be disappointed; Tron could be described as "technological fantasy". If you insist on a realistic view of what it would be like to BE a piece of software, then you will also be disappointed. For me, the imagery was fascinating. The relationships depicted between programs and their programmers (users) are really clever. It is imaginative, original, visually spectacular, and contains lots of action. Go see it, especially if you are familiar with computers. (But don't take a date who will keep tapping your arm and asking for explanations.)
