Critic consensus:Though perhaps not as strong dramatically as it is technologically, TRON is an original and visually stunning piece of science fiction that represents a landmark work in the history of computer animation.

Numbered reviews:1. Without the rosy filter of nostalgia, it's a virtually unwatchable virtual-reality saga.
2. Visually, this film is state of the art, а la 1982, and Jeff Bridges turns in some of his better work.
3. For most people, TRON's importance is as a historical footnote. It's the Model T of our CGI age. But the film's fans are passionate ones.
4. Perhaps one of the more stunning features in motion picture history, creatively adapting mistakes and hunting invention, shaping a movie that displays such curiosity with technology and boldness with sci-fi fantasy.
5. This movie is great. By the way, what kind of mushroom was that again?
6. Aside from CGI sequences, there's nothing compelling here.
7. It does have one or two boring stretches, but the computer world it envisions is fantastic.
8. Tron never reaches a level of excitement commensurate with its effects budget.
9. Tron is loaded with visual delights but falls way short of the mark in story and viewer involvement.
10. Dated effects, of course, but still nerdy fun after all these years.


Critic consensus:Though it has an excellent cast, this emotionally detached movie is the kind that one admires more than enjoys.

Numbered reviews:1. Compelling performances and a manipulation of the narrative keep Clearing unclear, which keeps us interested.
2. Mirren gives a virtual one-woman performance
3. ...three engaging and rewarding performances.
4. The story is Redford's, but with [Mirren's] trademark brisk practicality and ease in her own skin, she ransoms the actor from the constrictions of his self-definition as a romantic movie star.
5. The Clearing is just an OK thriller, full of standard scenarios and cookie-cutter characters.
6. What eventually happens will emerge from the personalities of the characters, not from the requirements of Hollywood endings. Sensing that, we grow absorbed in the story, knowing that what happens along the way will decide what happens at the end.
7. It's a worthy effort, but by trying to do it all, both stories fail to offer a good payoff.
8. As fine a performance as Mirren gives -- capturing Eileen's apprehension and sturdiness at once -- Redford is the chief reason to see The Clearing.
9. It leans more toward a character study than an action or suspense movie. What you don't get is the wrenching emotional workout that you would expect from this kind of film.
10. There's nothing happening on the surface (something cued by Craig Armstrong's aggressively inoffensive tinkling piano score), and there's nothing happening underneath, either


Critic consensus:Pan finds a few bursts of magic in its prequel treatment of classic characters, though not enough to offset the rushed plot and shrill, CGI-fueled action.

Numbered reviews:
1. "Why?" is a question that comes up a lot while watching this abysmal prequel that no one asked for.
2. Joe Wright's Pan is an incredibly derivative new take on a classic character -- but it's not all bad.
3. Mad Max: Fury Road for kids.
4. Jackman's theatrical charm helps tie together the many influences, but it's hard to be inspired by that familiar trope of the fated boy prophesied to change everything. The movie takes seriously concepts thoroughly satirised by The Lego Movie.
5. Wright throws a lot of ideas at Pan, and not all of them stick, but it makes for a refreshingly imaginative experience, and one not afraid of inspiring a little fear in younger audiences alongside the scattergun wonder.
6. "Pan" is a cacophonous assault on the senses, all computerized cinematographic mayhem and deafening noise, and its hurried pace extinguishes any genuine character development.
7. Lively, but flawed.
8. Hugh Jackman has an obvious ball playing the nasty pirate Blackbeard, young Levi Miller is fine as Peter and there are some cool visual touches.
9. The film's bracing darker streak also battles internally with its own capitulation to dull and bog standard "inspirational" Hollywood rhetoric, but like the pixie dust Pan's pirates mine, there's still some magic buried here.
10. Pan's newly-imagined take on Peter's early days rarely achieves lift-off, forever anchored by its own irrelevance.
