Roger Ebert

"Here’s a technological sound-and-light show that is sensational and brainy, stylish, and fun."

The Hollywood Reporter

I deem it an act of creative imagination, if not pure genius, that Lisberger could look at our arcade machines and envision a time in the future when man would be entrapped in his own amusements.

Violence is mainly of the stylized, low-resolution video game style, literally.

PopCult Reviews

Tron ends up being a really spectacular visual effect presentation and experimental film in one. You won’t find yourself developing strong emotional ties to anyone here, but it’s a fun ride, an excellent way to pass an hour and a half and be entertained.

“alan bradley is gay and so is tron and they’re both in love with kevin flynn” i say into the microphone, the crowd boos me. “no! she’s right” a voice yells, the crowd falling silent. *gasp* it’s bruce boxleitner himself.

IMDb

"Tron took it to the next logical step: creating whole CGI rendered scenes ... only computer geeks could get the whole picture."

Rotten Tomatoes

Is it perfect? No. Is it terrible? Absolutely not. Was it a bad film? I wouldn't say that, at least. I think it's a fun science fiction movie that takes you inside the world of the gaming grid.
