TRON: Ares

rotten

**Tron: Ares is a massive letdown that feels like a soulless cash grab** The film tries to establish itself as the first part of a new "trilogy," but it completely ignores the qualities that made the original Tron and to some degree, Legacy, memorable. The story is disjointed, confusing, and alienating, leaving no desire to watch a second, much less third, part of this.…

Technically gorgeous, spiritually empty There is no denying that you can see the budget in the movie, being spent on the fantastic-looking special effects. It is a shame the story is so devoid of actual meaning, tension or characters you can like or relate to that it just becomes a sort of visual noise.…

Me and the kids sat down and watched this movie a couple of weeks ago. As somewhat of a fan of the original, having watched the sequel and being a sci-fi, computing and sfx geek I of course had to watch this one. I’ve read some articles claiming it was not that good but I have to disagree. I think it was pretty good.…

Visually stunning and rhythmically charged, TRON: Ares expands its digital world with heart and energy. I loved how it blends legacy style with a fresh pulse for today’s audience. All around great story, entertaining from start to finish. A mesmerizing ride that reminds you why cinema and technology belong together. The VFX work is outstanding — great job to the entire team. I had a great time seeing it!

One of the best IMAX 3D experiences I've ever had. Thanks to Jared Leto, the Tron franchise isn't dead yet even after all these years. Joachim Rønning is an underrated visionary director who's direction is right on the money with the visuals and with the sound design.…

Oh dear! After “Morbius” (2022), I had hoped that Jared Leto might pick better, but after about ten minutes into this overlong and repetitive adventure I am afraid that proved not to be the case. Named after the Greek war god, he is a sophisticated computer programme that makes the “Terminator” look like “Barbie”.…

##A Visually Stunning Sequel That Plays It a Bit Too Safe The Grid awaits once more, and its return is a welcome one. *TRON: Ares*, the long-gestating next chapter in the cult-favourite franchise, delivers exactly what the trailer promises: a breathtaking dive back into a digital world of light-cycle duels and identity-disc battles.…

**SLOP** I can't believe people are actually saying it's good. Tron 2025 is completely boring, derivative, and predictable. The casting choices are absurd and it looks like a Netflix or Disney show aimed at pre-teens. Also, I guess crappy acting performed by crappy actors is standard for post 2020 Hollywood.…

If a movie franchise has nothing especially new to say about itself or its mythology, perhaps it’s best if it refrains from trying to say anything at all. Such is the case with this latest installment in the “Tron” series of would-be sci-fi screen epics, a nondescript, underwhelming effort that, regrettably, disappoints in myriad ways.…

mixed feelings! i really enjoyed it and brought a lot of cool stuff to the table, but felt really disconnected from the worldbuilding in the tron legacy affiliated media. this last month or so i've been going through all the canon tron media and obsessing over it. i really do have a love for the franchise.…
