The beautiful thing about Tron is that there's just no other movie like it. Certainly not before it was released and I don't think since. That, in itself, is a huge accomplishment. The special effects, costumes, and designs may seem hokey to some today but I think they are very cool and unique. The plot's a little hard to follow, I admit. I recently watched it with a friend who had never seen it before. She spent a good deal of the movie confused. I think I had a similar feeling the first time I watched it. It's one of those movies that grows on you the more you watch it but obviously that's not something that everybody wants to hear when sitting down to watch a film for the first time. The cast is good, though the characters are mostly one-dimensional. Jeff Bridges rises above everybody else and adds some much-needed humor and charm to things ("Now THAT is a big door!"). All in all, Tron is a good movie with awesome visuals but not without flaws. It's definitely something you should check out if you like '80s movies or sci-fi movies.
