I haven't seen Tron. Does that make me worse than Pug?

I like Tron, but I don't have any strong feelings where I'm going to get into an argument about it.

Haha!  Well, I think you may lack perspective.  Tron is 28 years old.  Who here was old enough to appreciate it (or not) in 1982?  The movie was revolutionary then.  Yeah, OK, getting scanned into a videogame world populated by dramatic actors is not exactly realistic.  It's also Walt Disney and all that entails.  The eye opener was the CGI visualization of a videogame world populated by glowy humans.  Now you can't even watch commercials without running into CGI, but then, it was more significant than Avatar's visual technology is today.

Well thanks for explaining that. I didn't realize it was *that* old... wow.

[Xessive]

Haha I just watched it a couple of weeks ago, I'll admit it is pretty stale but I still enjoyed the nostalgic effect. Before then, the last time I had watched was in 1986! I was 5! Finding stuff like that from my past helps trigger old hidden memories and sensations.

I can't remember when I first watched it, I was really young.  It came out the year I was born.

The pacing in the movie is a bit off and the movie is a bit bland cerebrally, but I agree with Cobra that at the time it came out it was pretty ridiculously awesome.  Especially the light cycles.

The only thing that gets me now is the MCP's henchman guy.  His costume is horrible.  It's like a crappy foam hat/hood thing with some cardboard on it.

[MysterD]

Never saw Tron film.
I really liked Tron 2.0 game from Monolith.

[Cools!]

STFU. Tron is awesome!

[Pugnate]

Yea I guess the thing is that when I first saw it, I was in my early 20s and it was six years ago.
