Tron is finally available on Blu-ray. Oh and it comes with Tron Legacy.
The 2-movie collection of Tron and Tron Legacy features 5-discs. Blu-ray, 3-D Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy of the lackluster Tron Legacy, and a Blu-ray of the original Tron.
It's a jam packed set. Well it is if you have any interest in the 3-D Blu-ray (which I don't) or the Digital Copy (which I don't) or the DVD (Which I don't.) But some do and if that's you then this is probably your best value.
As far as the films go, Tron to me still holds up. It's a fun movie despite the age of the effects. Tron Legacy on the other hand just isn't that great. Visually and aurally stunning is the best I can say for it. The plot is weak and is almost offensively reminiscent of Star Wars. You can be certain that a third Tron will be made and I can only hope that now that getting everyone up to speed on the events of the Grid is done they can make Tron 3 a better film.
Both films do look incredible. Tron Legacy especially. The original looks extremely well despite its age. The sound of course is stellar as well.
Disney has done a great job with special features again, aside from the plethora of discs in the set, you get a lot of interesting featurettes (including the Flynn Lives short that's all over the web now.), a music video, a peak at the upcoming animated series and much much more.
Buying the films individually will cost you $22.99 each. For about $50 you can get this 5-disc set. It's the better value. Especially if you plan to go 3-D in the future, although I can't imagine why anyone would.
Tron and Tron Legacy 2-Movie Collection is in stores now!

I had forgotten about the original Tron plot, which I don’t think I understood very well when I was a kid. I just watched the “Legacy” version and I’m really impressed with what they were able to envision for the future. I appreciate the sequel much more now that I’ve seen the original, but it is odd they made a sequel so long after since this generation doesn’t understand the premise. I just saw the Legacy version yesterday when I rented it on dishonline.com. I like that I can see all of the movies I could watch in one place there and when I log into my dishonline.com employee account I can set my DVR too. Jeff bridges looks like a kid in this movie. I feel so old.
