Time Out says

Disney's twenty million dollar bid to break into the booming fantasy market is a sympathetic but slightly clumsy rewrite of The Wizard of Oz, with a whizkid programmer (Bridges) trapped inside a computer world. The film boasts some impressive computer-generated animation, but for all its inventiveness, Tron never reaches a level of excitement commensurate with its effects budget. Indeed, in what might have proved to be a dire precedent for the cinema, Tron the video game is probably better than Tron the movie.

  • Unreal. Wizard of Oz? So you're extrapolating the plot was that a guy had a dream about being sucked into a computer, asked the wizard what to do, and he clicked his computer shoes together and ended up back in the real world? Did you even watch the movie? Or did you just skim it? I'd venture to think you skimmed it. Moron.
