Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The interior of a computer is a fine and private place, but none, I fear, do there embrace, except in TRON, a dazzling movie ...read the complete Tron movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

DVD Clinic ("The Shootin Surgeon")

Having had his video game creations stolen by the corporation he once worked for, a hacker in search of evidence gets assimilated into a virtual computer world where he must defend his life in gladiator-like battles against other computer programs. A ...read the complete Tron movie review at DVD Clinic ("The Shootin Surgeon")

UpcomingDiscs.com (Jeremy Frost)

I got quite a kick out of this film. It is great to see the creative minds of 20 years ago try to put a spin of the world of computers. I had forgotten the basis for this film, and watching it 20 years after it was released was really ...read the complete Tron movie review at UpcomingDiscs.com (Jeremy Frost)

It solidified a life-long love of the movies and a desire to ...read the complete Tron movie review at Movie Habit (Marty Mapes)

SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review

Tron was an astounding, revolutionary film. At the time of its release, public attention was minimal and even today it has not really been recognized as the fascinating landmark it was. ...read the complete Tron movie review at SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review

Monkeyboy Review

Back in the day, as my Tarzan work was well and truly drying up, I had to amuse myself in other ways. Fairy nuff, I had my pick of the cream of Hollywood women. I was beating the mucky little minxes off with a stick. But you get dry patches, and it was ...read the complete Tron movie review at Monkeyboy Review
