    I think it aged well, I watched it a few years after seeing his world in Kingdom Hearts and was really impressed with what they did.

      I’m biased since I grew up with the movie and always loved computers, but I watched it with my gf a few years back (okay like 7 years ago, at my age a few years isn’t a big difference) and thought it held up for what it was. It’s almost like an early cyberpunk jacked in experience but even without that thinking, being sucked into a computer sounded awesome and I definitely dug the fx in the 80s which I’ve seen a few shows about how it was revolutionary for the time.

      Also think the cast was solid, Jeff Bridges needs no other comment, but I keep forgetting the rest of the names, Tron was the second commander in Babylon 5 show, the old scientist character was the grandpa in Lost Boys. Okay I cheated and checked imdb but too lazy to copy names, the dude who played Londo from B5 is there plus David Warner who is the bad guy in many things from the 80s.

      It’s a slower paced movie but well worth the watch, and one line I always remember from it 'now that is a big door’s.

      Also if you program the general premise is about code being stolen and him hitting them back, kinda cyberpunkish too.
