From: utzoo!decvax!steveg Newsgroups: net.movies Title: TRON Article-I.D.: decvax.259 Posted: Sun Jul 11 21:47:42 1982 Received: Mon Jul 12 01:38:31 1982 References: utcsstat.241 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. - steve
