Viewing Notes
Having never seen this on the big screen it was great to see projected in 70mm. One of the few films from my childhood that I’m not nostalgic towards since I didn’t see it until an adult. Really not sure how I missed it all those years because during its time TRON was everyone (comics, video games, etc.). Yet I really adore this movie and the concepts presented. Sure it’s corny at times but it’s such a joy to watch esp. Jeff Bridges who is kind of like a Steve Jobs before Steve Jobs.
During most of my viewing I really wanted to watch TRON Legacy. Something about these films really resonates with me. I really love the universe they’ve created inside the machine.
