Nice review, BTW. :clap:

Tron has always been a favourite of mine, since I first saw it at the cinema 20 years ago.

Since then the only copy I've had of the film is a VHS pan and scan with a mono soundtrack.

I got the Special Edition DVD yesterday, and it's really excellent. Finally after 20 years I've got to see the film at its original aspect ratio, with a decent sound mix.

I didn't see a single example of print damage either - the film is grainy in the live-action computer bits due to the multi-layered process shots, and the backlighting / compositing can be flickery, but this was a feature of the cinema release version.

The extras are excellent - especially the making of documentary which surprised me about how long and detailed (and good) it was.

I love the animated menus on the second disk too, with the camera swooping into the digital canyons following recognisers tanks and light cycles.

A definite must buy for anyone who even remotely likes the film.
