	TRON (1982) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Tron fell flat at the box office because the concepts it dealt with were not in the public consciousness.
		Tron begins with simple interactions between the world of the programs and the world of the humans, some of which are programmers, or users as they are called here.
		Tron was the first of many films to have a video game adapted from it, the reasons for which should be clear when one watches the game sequences.

		Flynn is the film’s protagonist — a “computer genius” according to the trailer’s narrator — he is the first and most formal depiction of the cyberpunk.
		The film operates on the philosophy that interactive data in a computer exists as a parallel reality, and even though there are a few easily ignored contrivances, the idea does retain some amount of depth.
		The film garners further appreciation twenty years later, because of the growth of the media it is drawn from.

	TRON - The 1982 Movie
		"TRON" is set in two worlds: the real world, where a vast computer system in a communications conglomerate is controlled by a single program; and the electronic world, whose electric-and-light beings want to overthrow the program which controls their lives.
		The computer imagery seen in the second half of the film, such as the MCP and the Solar Sailer, is the work of Triple-I. These images are among the most complex designs in the film.
		When those two films in particular came out, it seemed that they had so much energy and so much excitement, and that they were willing to try new techniques in ways that would aid their stories and cinematically make certain things possible.

		Continuing the story where the film Tron left off, 20 years have passed since Alan Bradley's defense program (portrayed by Bruce Boxleitner in the film) defeated the evil Master Control Program's diabolical plans of worldwide computer corruption and control.
		Tron 2.0 is extremely fast paced shooter and very innovative with its use of weaponry (known as 'Primitives' in the game).
		Not only did the designers of Tron 2.0 effectively re-create the sound effects featured in the classic film, they also enlisted the aid of the Wendy Carlos (the creator and composer of original film soundtrack) to once again work her magic with the musical score found in the game.

	Filmtracks: Tron (Wendy Carlos)
		Tron: (Wendy Carlos) Not much of a hit in its initial 1982 release, but a cult favorite for many, this film was the first of its kind to explore with CGI effects for a movie.
		Composer Wendy Carlos was chosen to contribute to the soundtrack of Tron, no doubt due to her experimental work with the synthesizer (and, she admits in the notes, she is a big fan of computer graphics).
		This CD release will please fans of the film, as it features all of the music contained on the old CBS release, plus three bonus tracks that were omitted from the original release for spacial purposes.

		The sequel, Tron 2.0, is being developed by the original 1982 film's director and co-writer, Steven Lisberger, who's working on the third draft of a new screenplay, the trade paper reported.
		"I'd like to bring Tron into today's world and look at how cyberspace will be 20 years from now, because it's still in its infancy." Lisberger added that since computer software is updated all the time, the actors wouldn't need to be consistent from film to film.
		"Tron's been updated, and he could be completely different from when we saw him before," Lisberger said.

		The original Tron film starred Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn a hacker who is abducted into the world of a computer, Where he becomes Clu, and is forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program named Tron, played by Bruce Boxleitner.

		Considering the movie itself was a merger of traditional film techniques with cutting-edge (for the early 80s) computer animation, the fact that the soundtrack is similarly composed makes it that much more engrossing.
		An added bonus on the CD is three previously unreleased tracks; Carlos mentions in her interview that they were intended for the original soundtrack, but were left out because of lack of space on both the LP and cassette formats.
		The first track is an early "draft" of one of the action themes, the second is a piece that was used in the film but not on the old album and the third is a simple single-instrument version of the "TRON" theme (being the last track on the disc, it's a welcome cool-down).

		While many may feel that this film is primitive but instead of thinking of it that way try to appreciate the film for the pioneer that it was and the classic that it has become.
		Tron is crashed and Alan is summoned to Dillinger’s office.
		The film was done in 65mm stock and much of the computer work was filmed by means of many passes of sticking a camera in front of a high-resolution video display.

		Tron was a security program created to aid Flynn in shutting down the MCP, designed by the equally ingenious computer programmer, Alan Bradley.
		Flynn and Tron succeeded in their efforts, effectively dragging the MCP to the little garbage can icon, and the world was a happy place.
		Tron 2.0's FPS action is definitely the draw of the game, and it has a great character-building system behind it.

		One presents a synthesizer pioneer utilizing symphonic elements, the other is a symphonic wizard trying out electronics, and while neither score is especially commendable, their sharp reemergence amid the similar soundscape of today's filmusic scene suggests the fascination with blending the natural orchestra with seemingly otherworldly sounds remains strong.
		Where the soundtrack gains momentum is through the composer's thematic sophistication (one, she observes, is 'quasi-military;' the other is unabashedly romantic), which beautifully bridges the gap between form and function, and the performing skills of 'synthesist' Carlos, the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus, and, in a lovely touch, organist Martin Neery.
		I certainly have fond memories of the film from its U.S. cable run during my formative years, and it continues to be wholly re-watchable on rainy Sunday afternoons.

	Tron 2.0 for PC Review - PC Tron 2.0 Review
		The 1982 film Tron may not hold up by today's standards, but it was a revelation for anyone who grew up during the video game boom of the early '80s.
		Like the film, Tron 2.0 treads a fine line between cool and corny, and, also like the film, it often stumbles into the latter.
		That's because, at heart, Tron 2.0 is a standard run-and-gun shooter with a neon patina.

	Rebooting Tron 1.0 by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		Though the use of computer graphics in film is commonplace today, even to the point of entire films being crafted within graphic workstations (such as "Shrek" and "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within"), such digital filmmaking was almost unheard of twenty years ago.
		For a generation of moviegoers, who were only beginning to explore the opportunities of consumer-focused computing technology, "Tron" became one of the more memorable genre films of 1982, alongside "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan", "The Thing", and the other 'cyberpunk' film of the year, "Blade Runner".
		However, the new film would involve a new cast of characters, and being cognisant to the changes that have occurred since 1982, new technology would be integrated into both the production and the story.

		“The Tron world is stylistic, based on sensibilities inherent in the electronic cliché,” notes designer Syd Mead, who worked on both the original Tron film and the new Tron 2.0 game, out on the Mac from MacPlay.
		“Tron lay dormant for 20 years after the release of the movie,” explains Cliff Kamida, executive producer of the game for Buena Vista Interactive, “so we felt pretty free to do what we wanted.
		Tron 2.0 retains the look and feel of the film’s environment, courtesy of the “glow effect” developed by graphic card maker Nvidia, but also introduces many of the technological advances of the past 20 years.

		In 1982 the groundbreaking science-fiction film "Tron" was unleashed on the movie going public.
		Rather it was the film's unique futuristic design, with favorites such as the Light Cycle races, which set a new tone for science-fiction film making and garnered a Best Costume Oscar Nomination in 1983 (oddly the film was not nominated for best visual effects, an award won that year by "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial").
		This first comic mini-series will be based on the Tron 2.0 computer game universe, which is set 20 years after the movie and promises intense action and breathtaking adventures in a digital world.
