Tron

Where to begin?

I (Maddie) was actually excited to see this movie, mostly because I loved the sequel Tron: Legacy so much. I don't know what I was expecting with an 80's-made film renowned for its groundbreaking special effects (for its time, at least). Hanna and I spent half the movie laughing at the graphics, and almost fell on the floor when they were playing catch with crab-claw arms as one of the "terrifying" Games. I was constantly comparing it to its 2010 sequel, which didn't help it much. And as a side note, what was with the music? The original soundtrack would have been suitable for an 80's chick flick, whereas Daft Punk's incredible music in the sequel blew me away.

"Basically to reiterate what Maddie said," said Hanna, "I can understand why this movie was a stepping stone in the world of CG and special effects, but it's really only watchable once. However, credit must be given where credit is due, and without this movie and others of its kind, filmmakers wouldn't have been able to produce digital masterpieces such as Avatar and Inception. Also, without this movie, there would never have been Tron: Legacy, which has easily placed a spot in my top 10 favorite movies (no judging)."
