Tron

TRON (1982) - Dec. 19, 2010
A surprisingly boring film about a programmer who winds up sucked into a strange world run by computers.  The film's special effects, though probably mind-blowing at the time, seem quant and dated by modern standards.  Though the dated effects are actually the least of the film's problems; it just isn't all that entertaining.  It's kind of sluggish, and it never really felt like there was all that much at stake.  The whole thing felt like an excuse for the elaborate effects; the story and the characters were pretty weak.  **
