I saw the original Tron in 70mm in Seattle and it really does come alive there in a way no home setup can duplicate.* Someone in the computer industry said they got a lot of the big things right. That was good enough for me. The costume design, well… 
This was one time when Walt Disney Productions under Ron Miller really seemed to be looking to the future and not to memories of what was popular when Walt was still alive, even though they were mixing actors with cartoons before there was even a Mickey Mouse. But they didn't realize it until many years after the fact once everybody and their mother owned a computer. It makes me think about what kind of computer-generated abstract imagery is still possible nearly 40 years later.
Still have to get around to watching the sequel. It took me 20 years to be able to bring myself to watch Fantasia 2000. At least they won't be waiting 30 years for the third one. Unfortunately, the likelihood of Jeff Bridges being a part of it this time is not great since he recently received a cancer diagnosis.
*As does seeing in a state that legally lets you attain the ideal state to watch it in.
