I liked TRON. It reminded me of "The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T". I think
its a case where liking it or not just depends on whether its imagery
connects up with your own.

A recent sci-fi digest contained a lot of interesting observations on TRON.
I thought TRON contained an existential message (there is no higher order),
as opposed to STII and Star Wars which are basically theistic.

I liked the inner space representation. It may seem utterly fanciful,
but remember that our own inner space is constructed of voltage
spikes travelling along nerve fibers.  I noticed that "Moebius" was given
some sort of concept credit.

I liked the airbrushed light-cycles. There were credits for an airbrush
supervisor and three airbrushers.

I thought the bit's yes state was an octahedron and its no state was
a stellated icosahedron. To really be a bit it should have always been
in one of those two states. Instead it had several resting states.
