Tron—outstanding in its time, archaic now—uses outdated computer animation with live action actors and a
small storyline to produce the film. It’s rather like watching an old pong game
with its backward, forward movement of a small ball of light except it is far
more sophisticated than that but still relies on repetitive computer action
over and over throughout its storyline. Watching it now makes one wonder why it
was made…was it just to show off new technology? It is what it is...an academic
study of the history of computer animation technique as used in the entertainment
industry. This movie makes one appreciate the significant contributions
entertainment has made toward sophisticated computer work.
