Tron (1982)

In preparation to seeing the new Tron movie that's been out for a while now (wasn't able to go see it for a bit but i've got some extra money now!) I decided to see the original since I hadn't ever seen it. I loaded up my favorite torrent site, found an HD copy and waited for it to be downloaded.

What a waste of time!

This is a really weird movie. It's about some company that makes video games but also has a machine that transports oranges into a computer world where old banking programs are turned into people who are forced to play sporting events for the pleasure of the Master Computer Program who is a giant face who says "End Line" a lot. What the heck??? Who wrote this?

This character Flynn goes to play with the Orange Teleportation Device to try and find some old files (instead of using a regular computer?) and this makes the Master Computer really P/Oed!!! He sucks Flynn in and makes him play games with accounting software turned people and he runs away and meets some other programs that just happen to look like his friends (a little bit of Wizard of Oz????) then it turns into the Matrix and Flynn can manipulate the world and then him and his buddies destroy the Master Computer and Flynn flies out of the computer world and suddenly he's printing out documents that says he created all these games.

This is seriously the story, I didn't make any of it up. It sounds like some sort of joke!!! Don't get me started on the effects! It looks like a really low budget playstation game from like 1996!!! All the people are in these glowing suits and then their faces are covered in flour or something. Walt Disney must have been losing his mind when he made this one!

This movie didn't make any sense,and it's special effects are a joke! No one involved with this movie had probably used a computer because none of this stuff makes any sense! I don't really know what else to say about this movie. I don't know why a sequel was made but hopefully it's better than this! I give this turd my lowest possible score, ** two stars!
