Product Description

Product description

Tron (Widescreen)

Amazon.com

The surprising truth about Disney's 1982 computer-game fantasy is that it's still visually impressive (though technologically quaint by later high-definition standards) and a lot of fun. It's about a computer wizard named Flynn (Jeff Bridges) who is digitally broken down into a data stream by a villainous software pirate (David Warner) and reconstituted into the internal, 3-D graphical world of computers. It is there, in the blazingly colorful, geometrically intense landscapes of cyberspace, that Flynn joins forces with Tron (Bruce Boxleitner) to outmaneuver the Master Control program that holds them captive in the equivalent of a gigantic, infinitely challenging computer game. Disney's wizards used a variety of cinematic techniques and early-'80s state-of-the-art computer-generated graphics to accomplish their dynamic visual goals, and the result was a milestone in cyberentertainment, catering to technogeeks while providing a dazzling adventure for hackers and nonhackers alike. Appearing just in time to celebrate the nascent cyberpunk movement in science fiction, Tron received a decidedly mixed reaction when originally released, but has since become a high-tech favorite and a landmark in special effects, with a loyal following of fans. DVD is a perfect format for the movie's neon-glow color scheme, and the musical score by synthesizer pioneer Wendy Carlos is faithfully preserved on the digitally remastered soundtrack. --Jeff Shannon

The Original 80s Classic !
5 Stars
The Original 80s Classic !
It was a different world back in 1982. Disney had released "Dragonslayer" the year before but was going for something more original than a cliche fairy tale this time. Spawned from a line-drawn back-lit liquid-neon electronic character nicknamed "Tron" (because it was "electronic"), and originally intended to be developed as an animated film, the storyboards for Tron were rejected by various studios before it would find a home with Walt Disney Productions.Soon after Tron released in theaters (July 9, 1982) its counterpart video game tie-in of the same name showed up in arcades and was awarded "Coin-op game of the year" by Electronic Games magazine. Unfortunately the movie itself received mixed reviews and despite being the highest-grossing live action Disney film in 5 years it was considered a financial disappointment. The Motion Picture Academy would then refuse to nominate Tron for an award in special-effects because they thought that the use of computers was considered cheating. But Tron had further demonstrated the potential of computer graphics in films shortly after the release of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (June 4, 1982), and would develop a cult following which eventually led to the 2010 sequel "Tron Legacy".Tron is one of the ultimate 80s movies and a must-have for any fan of science fiction films. This 2-Disc Special Edition has everything necessary to relive the magic with lots of bonus material including an 88 minute documentary "The Making of Tron".

In 1982...we all thought this would be way off in the future, around 2090. Turns out this movie is prophetic. Explotes the basic points of how AI could consume itself due to the consequences of human behavior.

5.0 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CLASSIC...but Disney is NOT setting those stupid prices
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2010

First, this is a fantastic classic from the dawn of the computer age as we know it today. The movie came out just after the birth of the IBM PC. Back in those days the concept of distributed computing was unknown outside of the computer room. Main frame and mini-computers lived in air conditioned secured rooms, hosting a bunch of dumb video terminals for the users. Most people had no idea of how they worked and they were usually found only in big companies.

Even today the special effects, though quaint by modern standards, are still impressive and the story line is pretty good. But the visual concepts from back then of what it would be like to actually be inside of a computer is what makes this movie really special and fascinating. To say the movie was conceptually far ahead of it's time is an understatement.

The video quality in this version is great and looks impressive on my 65" screen with the upscaling provided by my Blu Ray player. Color saturation is rich but not overdone and the images are crisp and clean although you can see the black outline around each character from the matting process. The 5.1 sound is also very clear and clean with good surround sound effect. All in all, it's a terrific movie that all sci-fi fans should have in their library.

As for the exorbitant prices being charged for the movie now, bear in mind that it is not Disney that's setting those stupid prices even though they undoubtedly contributed to the situation by not producing any more copies of this movie and/or forcing distributors to return unsold stock. But the prices you see are being set by greedy resellers, for the few copies they have left in stock, who are basing them on the law of supply and demand and hoping they can find enough suckers who want a copy of this movie badly enough to pay them such ridiculous prices. I'm just thankful that I bought my copy from Amazon before these greedy moron resellers jacked up their prices. You'll notice that Amazon is not selling this particular movie; they are just providing access to other resellers who are.

Actually I think Disney is being very short sighted and greedy itself in trying to prevent sales of this movie because they think it will negatively impact their revenue from the new Tron Legacy release. It they were really smart, they would have done a digitally remastered Blu Ray version and promoted that to drum up additional interest in the new movie. That way they would have made even more money off both products. I know I certainly would have bought a remastered Blu Ray version and also gone to see the new movie.

Bottom line, just don't buy this movie until the prices come back down to a reasonable level. I think that after the new movie has been out for a few months, these prices will come back down to a reasonable level, especially if no one buys from these greedy resellers until they bring the prices back to down to reasonable levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars If the Kids Can't Read Doctorow or Gibson yet, then Get Out the TRON.

I am teaching computer and information science to middle school students right now, and - well, it's a big subject they hear about *constantly*, but understanding how we got to the point where computers are everywhere and why the ethical questions surrounding them are not simple black and white just isn't something mere facts alone can manage. This is what fiction is *for*. TRON is not computer science as it is. It's computer science as fairy tale. Dillanger and Gibbs' arguments frame some of the debates had by Woz and Jobs about the direction of Apple. Gibbs comments about computers starting to think while the humans stop is brilliant in the face of living AIs who believe in their creators. The MCP off-handedly mentioning he can run things "better" than any human opens up discussion for what constitutes "better," in a wired world. Flynn's attempts to break into ENCOM also opens up the door to questions about the ethics of hacking. TRON offers this thin layer of fiction which makes these large-scale questions easier to discuss at arms' length without insulting some tech company where mom or dad might (more like "probably" with my kids) work. Also, what *does* it mean to "fight for the users" 30+ years later?

Speaking of users, Laura/Yori just being on the screen allows me, as their female teacher, to discuss women in the industry without some of the drama that normally comes from bringing that subject up. (Praise the Users for small favors!) I also get a kick out of showing them the ENCOM basement with all the hard drives and comparing that room to one of their phones and pointing out the lousy passwords all as ways of showcasing change.

Now, regarding the effects: The kids have *zero* problems with them. I thought the CGI/Rotoscope combo might be off-putting, but since it's not a style they're used to, it just comes off as "quirky old movie," for the class. I even got a few "oooohhhhh" out of the room with some of the better scenery moments. The light cycles don't have the same impact they once did it seems, though. In exchange for some minor lost wonder at the effects, they seem to grasp the whole "travelling into and out of a virtual world," more than we geeks of a certain age did.

Bonus feature: TRON and TRON: Legacy are fascinating because they are dystopias which show the differences between what we feared then (Communism; oppressive, distant governments and their surveillance; elitism; our creations surpassing us) and what we fear now (our own creations trying to kill us; boundaries between the "real world," vs.our virtual lives; corporate control and surveillance - which is especially darkly funny with this being a Disney film;). It's one of the only SF universes I can point to the updated itself like that. Yes, it's all very SF-lite, but the ideas are sprinkled through at just the right intervals to make this incredibly useful while guiding a willing audience through difficult and constantly shifting subject matter.

Nonostante il tempo passato,questo è uno di quei film che,specialmente se come me visti da bambino,restano nel cuore. Le sue atmosfere,i suoi colori,sono secondo me unici e identificativi. Certo,ora molte tecniche,molte soluzioni narrative e visive risultano anacronistiche per molti;ma come per molte opere,và visto con gli occhi di quando è uscito. Questa edizione,in oltre offre un prodotto con un grande ed apprezzabilissimo lavoro di restauro e ripulitura sia audio che video che valorizzano ancor di più l'opera. Consigliatissimo.
