I have been blessed to be just the right age to have "been there" for some of the great moments in our culture - at least movie and "fad"-wise... Star Wars was the biggest. I recently watched Tron: Legacy and really liked it. Coming away, I thought "How will "my" old Tron stand up after seeing all of that state-of-the art eye candy?" I have to report that it does just fine - even after all of the years having gone by. Watching TRON now, I felt the same wonder and joy as I experienced this digital world. Yes, there is a place in my mind where I'd say "Ugh - some of these effects" but the experience is no less intense and satisfying as it was back in the "Good Old Days". My main concern was one of storylines - how would TRON stack-up against Legacy? I have to say that what may look a bit dated effects-wise in TRON is more than compensated for by the writing. Legacys' storyline is the weaker of the two, but its' effects do for it what TRONs' writing does for that film. Both are awesome and both are must-haves in any collection. With TRON, the BluRay is great, but the standard DVD is more true to the film as it was "back in my day". Realize, too, that with TRON we were blown away by what for its day was IT in special effects by computer. Other moments for me were films like Jurassic Park and most recently Avatar. At the end of the day - for each of us in "our" timelines, it will be the writing that sticks with us the most. TRON is an old friend to me - but remains one of the best ones.Read full review
I had never seen the film before even though it was from my time. I wish I had. It still has a lot of appeal. I want the newer one now. Great fx for the time and they still hold up.

I still enjoyed watching tron and tron legacy, when it has Jeff bridges in it. Also, I should see this movie on dvd or blu ray again, that it’s been almost 9 years since I was 14 years old.
