The Movie is Great, but the Extras are Nil.

2005-07-08
I can understand the draw of having a UMD movie. It's portable, the movie picture is better than anything you can transfer through a DVD ripper, and if you get tired of watching movies you still have a PSP to play games with.

I biggest complaint is that Sony and Buena Vista could have really pushed the capabilities of what the PSP could be: a portable entertainment device. The movie transfer was great. I love the fact that I could watch Tron on the go. But, the UMD should have had enough space for an arcade copy of Tron on the disk. Most arcade programming from that time can fit on a floppy. The biggest problem with DVD "games" is that you have to use the remote to play. The PSP is a gaming device! The only real extra they put on the UMD was a featurette. Those sort of slim pickings haven't been around since The Matrix pushed what dvds could really do. They could have at least put the light bike race as a game with some enhanced graphics as an extra. In all, 5 for the Movie, 0 for the extras.

Alice oops Flynn in wonderland

What would computers appeared like to the uninitiated, 20 plus years ago? Even as we watch this remake of Alice every one knows that computers were getting smaller even then. But this is a fun romp with love and loyalty, and now with time campiness.
The nasty old MPC (Master Control Program) wants to rule the world vis-à-vis remove human contamination or at the least play like "Colossus: The Forbin Project" (1970). Only the "Users" (a loose term invented by the moviemakers for programmers) can defeat him. Flynn (Jeff Bridges) and a hand full of loyal programs including Tron (Bruce Boxleitner) will attempt to do so running into many quasi computer parts along the way. Will they succeed or will their side issue with the lovely Yori (Cindy Morgan) sidetrack them from their mission.
Jeff Bridges looked cute in those days and David Warner (Master Control Program Voice) had just enough touch of evil for a Disney picture.
