‘Tron: Legacy’ and ‘Tron’ Reviews, Then and Now
“Tron: Legacy” arrives in theaters today, and The Takeaway takes a trip down memory lane to 1982, when the original “Tron” debuted in theaters. The movie featured some glimpses of the future yet to come ? such as hackers and cyberwars ? and some that have yet to materialize ? lightcycles, and ubiquitous, glowing spandex suits. But looking back 28 years, what (if anything) did it get right about technology? And what does the second film hold in store?
Joining us is Kit Holliday, a network infrastructure engineer and long-time ?Tron? fan, and Rafer Guzman, Newsday film critic and ?Tron? nay-sayer.
