Not only does it introduce the humanity/technology themes that would surface in later cyberpunk fantasies, it boasts some of the most unique visuals in any film, then or now.

Reviews for Tron
Top CriticIt's a simple idea that ought to serve, but Lisberger's failures of pacing, structure, variation, and characterization ultimately make the film seem monotonous and distant.

Although Tron's state-of-the-art, computer-generated visuals look primitive by current standards, it's intelligently conceived (on a visual level, at any rate) and largely good fun.
06/04/07
Top CriticTron is loaded with visual delights but falls way short of the mark in story and viewer involvement.
06/04/07
Top CriticTron never reaches a level of excitement commensurate with its effects budget.
06/24/06
The movie's innovative digital special effects were jaw-dropping at the time and still seem pretty cool. But somehow the plot congeals early into an old-time medieval epic and gets pretty dull.

Dated effects, of course, but still nerdy fun after all these years.

One of those rare movies that manages to be silly and cool and important all at once.

A dazzling movie from Walt Disney in which computers have been used to make themselves romantic and glamorous. Here's a technological sound-and-light show that is sensational and brainy, stylish, and fun.

Top CriticIts computer sequences exist in a blue-gray scheme filled with flashing lights, speeding objects and dizzying motion. Its visual effects are wonderfully new. They are also numbing after a while.

Apesar de sua contribuição para a evolução dos efeitos criados em computador, o filme possui um roteiro medíocre, representando um marco técnico, mas um fracasso artístico.
