Back in 1982, a little movie came out that stunned the children completely and left the adults scratching thier heads," Is this a movie or a cartoon movie?" We all wanted to be in a computer game like the movie. That movie was Tron. Unfornutately, it did very poor at the Box office but mantained a spot in all of us since then.
The CGI was so experimental that many adults watched being confused as to a live action movie or a cartoon movie. Most of the computer scenes in the movie was shot in black and white then in editing they were given colors later. Still, it was the first for CGI. The Last Starfighter was the next major film to have CGI and then The Abyss.
We didn't know what CGI was until 1989 to 1992 when this concept was talked about. In 1982, that was the year it really began. Tron was such an excellent film even with the simple things it displayed compared to the films since Jurassik Park. The light cycles is what captured our imagination all those years ago.
Now, in 2010 after 28 years, Disney will release Tron Legacy. I've seen some trailers for the movie and are completely stunned now at the degree of visual detail and look for the Computer World. I'm sure this how the original creators wanted the first Tron to be but the capabilities were not there. This movie will be the way Peter Jackson remade 2005 King Kong from the 1933 movie. Both were excellent for thier respective eras.
This a movie that will be one of the best in 2010 and hopefully a top 20 for worldwide release.
