Screenshots are from the most amazing Tron film from 1982, if you're wondering.

Looks cool, should I watch it?

It's definitely worth a watch for the visuals alone. That said, I found it paid off immensely more once I watched the excellent Tron Legacy right after and caught all the lovingly rendered homages and nods to the original. If it helps, the original has music done by the queen of 80's synth, and then legacy has motherfucking Daft Punk doing everything they do best and even showing that they can do orchestra as well as they do EDM.

Damn good series. End of line.

It's also worth it to watch Tron: Uprising afterwards. Worth a watch in my opinion, even though it was canceled.

Alright, I’ll watch it

The movie? I've loved it since I saw it as a 16 y/o when it was brand new. It's still around and still great, IMO.

Plz, plz watch Matrix before or after Tron - it'll blow your mind 🤯
