Okay, Ive never seen Tron. Tell me what I'm missing?.?

Yeah... Its true. Ive never seen tron.

I watched the trailer for the new one yesterday.

Should I watch the original? Whats it really about? I know I could
Google it, but I wanna hear some opinions.
 
Post in the chat about anything forum next time as this is about a movie not video game ;)
IMHO the story line relies on the old movie so yes it would make sense to watch the first before the second.
 
It's akin to someone never having watched EP 4,5,6 of Star Wars. Do yourself a favor a watch the original Tron before your man card is revoked.
 
Tron came out before I was born so that would be a good reason why someone may have never watched it. Though, I do remember watching it as a kid and not really understanding the story, but enjoying it.

I recently watched it again. It's a great movie if you're into sci-fi/action and the special effects were pretty good for the time. The only negative comment I can make is that there are some slow parts.

I would say it's a must-watch for an arcade gamer as well as for the sequel coming out in December. Though, I can suspect they'll do some back story for the new generation who have never watched the original.

I'm just so glad to see you don't have a TRON cab in your lineup. We were gonna have to send out a member of the KLOV KGB to repossess it..

Isnt it based on a V.R kinda thing?

How about this... how's the GAME AND THE MOVIE? how do they relate?

Never played that either...
 
Definitely not VR. Flynn gets sucked into the computer world and battles a bad guy to free everyone from the oppression. I saw it when I was twelve when it came out in the theater. Been "in" computers ever since.

This makes me sad.

Basically The Dude gets digitally transported INSIDE of a computer and has to fight an evil English overlord to save the princess.

The games are nothing like the movie. The movie is more like a computer version of 9 to 5 starring Dolly Parton.
 
Yeah, I like 80s movies and things like that..
The Wraith..
The Last Dragon (being remade)

Silly movies like that.. Ive just never had the chance to watch it I guess.
Guess I better go pick it up.
 
The movie really didn't stand the test of time in my opinion. I watched it again not long ago and man is it cheesy. But, you really gotta see it. I'm not sure you can really "get Tron" if you weren't a teenager in the 80's who was programming TRS-80's or Apple II's or Sinclaire's or whatever using commands like "Poke". But to be initiated into the 80's collecting club you have to watch it at least once.
 
I wasn't born when this movie game out. I saw it for the first time about three-four years ago

I absolutely loved it. I own in on VHS now, and I'm hoping to get it on Laserdisc soon. Also, when the new one comes out, I'm hoping the original is released on Bluray

do yourself a favor. GO WATCH IT.

I don't know. I've been on a huge Tron kick lately... it's great. probably one of my favorite movies of all time
