ORIGINAL: irrelevant
Part of the hype was the claim that it was the first big-budget Hollywood movie to use nothing but virtual sets, IIRC.

Except for "Tron", speaking of movies so bad they are good.

Did 'Tron' have any real sets at all? I'm pretty sure it did.

Yeah, it had some real sets, at the beginning and at the end. And many of the scenes inside the computer had some basic blocky things and cardboard screens all around the place. But I was just remembering when Tron came out (1982, the same year I started working with an IBM PC) there was a multi-page article in Time talking about how the film was made and what a revolution in filmmaking it foretold.[X(][:D]
