Tron (1982) The best visual design in the world doesn't mean a thing unless there's someone around with at least a elementary sense
of story. Writer-director Steven Lisberger takes the computer world as a metaphor for totalitarianism, It's a straightforward idea that ought
to serve, but Lisberger's failures of pacing,arrangement, variation, and characterization basically make the film seems pedestrian and distant. Jeff Bridges, playing the hero sucked into the computer,
has to carry the film's entire burden of charm and appeal. a charming movie for its time perhaps and indeed some of the designs still look fresh some thirty years later but otherwise a dated movie.
