TRON review

Similar to Fritz Lang's Metropolis. This film is often criticized for it's illogical computer world where people are forced to fight each other like gladiators using energy weapons.  Jeff Bridges plays the ne'er-do-well hero who finds himself in this fantasy world where he has to  fight an evil A.I..  I think David Warner is a good villain.  He plays both Sark (the main henchman) and the voice of the MCP (the evil A.I.).  He is basically having conversations with himself in part of the movie.  Actually, most of the actors are playing two versions of themselves, depending on which reality the hero happens to be in.  (Maybe that's why some people don't like the story and find it confusing.) The actions scenes were quite novel for their time.  I suppose whether you think they hold up or not might depend on your age.  As a kid who was always looking for something as fantastic as The Empire Strikes Back, I felt like TRON had enough imagination to be a pretty good adventure film.
