TRON is a film lacking in good plot, good acting, and good dialog.
It's generally recognized that it is hard to make a good film
without these things. TRON will also insult the intelligence
of most of the computer knowledgeble types in usenet-land. 

The film has two drawing cards: (1) one gets to see the current
level of mis-understanding that Hollywood has about the computer
industry (no spinning magtapes, only a few magtape drives, and
one or two ubiquitous pdp-11's). (2) the Graphics were outstanding.
MAGI-SYNTHEVISION stuff is superb. I look forward to seeing
them at SIGGRAPH.
