    Tron, as well as Brainstorm, was filmed in 70mm although a 70mm print
    was never shown in the Boston area.

Well, close enough -- principal photography for a 70mm release print is
normally done in 65mm, but what's 5mm between friends?  But the effects
in TRON were shot in Vistavision (horizontal 35mm, 8 perf frames) where
as the Braindrain effects work was shot in 65mm.  As Mike Wahrman
mentioned, this was better-than-standard practice, and the proof was on
the screen.
