Tron: Ares

TRON Ares was pretty good all things considered and a fresh take on the series. Don't really understand the backlash behind the film apart from the red carpet being used as marketing for Grok AI and Tesla Optimus, which I guess makes sense seeing as TRON Ares delves into the meat of modern AI. Definitely the main highlight of the film had to be the stunning visuals, every scene was breathtaking and fully captures the feel of TRON in the real world with some immaculate sound design. Definitely one of Jared Leto's better performances as Ares, guess he's really good at playing the role of an AI than any actual human being, the rest of the cast was fine. The soundtrack was an absolute banger, couldn't stop bopping my head throughout the film. Their are some cool concepts that would have been interesting to explore, but the story is rather basic with the whole AI premise serving as the main focus along with Ares wanting to obtain permanence, there's also some nods to the original films that fans will enjoy. Overall, TRON Ares was a lot better than I was expecting and definitely worth checking out, wouldn't mind seeing a sequel if they were open to it.

It my first time that I'm reviewing a movie after many years of being on this platform, because I have seeing or I'm reading reviews about Tron Ares, that personally I consider not fair, the low rating that are given to this movie.

The first half of the movie is very good, very good beautiful, with amazing visual, the score is perfect like Tron Legacy!

The second half of the movie and the finally it feels like it's was in rush, in my opinion the movie should have been much better if it's 15/20 minutes longer.

I hope that maybe we'll have a direct's cut one day on the 4k or on blue-ray!

I really don't understand the hate, even Tron Legacy has so many problems.

Tron Ares is own movie, with his own story like Blade Runner 2049!

Go and watch it on the theatre because it's really good movie!

'Tron: Ares' is the third film in the video-game/pre-'Matrix' series that revolves around "the Grid" (effectively cyberspace) and the competing companies controlling it, Encom and Dillinger (effectively Microsoft & Google) and their CEOs trying to take the next leap forward in AI - Eve Kim (Lee) and Julian Dillinger (Peters). I assume you don't need to have seen the 1982 original or 2010's 'Tron: Legacy', but there's plenty of throwbacks and linkages, even if this isn't a direct sequel.

So many cameos/supporting cast that all add something, but don't get heaps of time = Julian's mum, Elisabeth (Anderson), Eve's CTO Ajay (Minhaj) & COO Seth (Castro), and obviously Kevin Flynn (Bridges), which is handled quite well. The main plot revolves around a security program, Ares (Leto) that tries to obtain "permanence" in the real-world, and his other Dillinger program Athena (Turner-Smith). Leto is actually not bad, with his still-somehow-youthful face perfect for an AI, and he has a few lines that get a few chuckles.

While there's plenty of similarities to 'Blade Runner 2049' and 'Ready Player One', and arguably not as good, 'Tron: Ares' does deliver some very impressive CGI, with vivid colour, fast-paced action - especially on the motorbikes and jetski - and some engaging fight scenes. The final act set piece is pretty epic, especially when paired with the strong Reznor/Ross score. All wrapped-up in under 2 hours.

These credits wouldn't know how to enjoy a film if it slapped them in the face. Learn and remember how to enjoy a movie for what it is and take out whatever you're sitting on. Go watch the movie. It is a spectacle in the music is fun. Don't look your critic and make your own opinion. Jered Leto is perfectly fine.

In anticipation of Tron: Ares, I rewatched the original Tron (it definitely shows its age, but still earns a solid 8/10 from me for the impact it had on the genre) and Tron: Legacy (still my favorite of the three). Naturally, my expectations for Ares were high.

When I heard Jared Leto had been cast as one of the leads, I was disappointed-he's never really delivered for me, with his Joker performance being the low point. Surprisingly, though, he impressed this time. He was convincing, grounded, and even held his own in scenes with Jeff Bridges.

What Tron: Ares ultimately lacks, however, is soul. Unlike the previous films, I couldn't connect or empathize with any of the characters. What's left is a dazzling visual experience-absolutely worth seeing in IMAX 3D-with a pulsing, energetic soundtrack.

But once the credits roll and you step out of the theater, it's completely forgettable.
