Tron: Ares

I guess I got what I was expecting from the film when I watched it on the big screen. I was just hoping it would exceed my expectations, that it would build on and progress further from the preceding 2010 film, which already had the great potential or foundation of not relying on the visuals/aesthetics alone.

I echo the same sentiments from early reviews that the film lacked much from the character depth perspective. It does not serve emotionally, but delivers on the visuals. What I love most is when it took the prior Tron films' aesthetics in a different setting - that was really cool! Love the soundtrack as well!

Overall, mostly the visuals and sound kept my attention, but all other aspects were kind of flat.

Looking forward to the next one, which I hope would not solely rely on visuals/aesthetics.

The visuals in Tron: Ares are absolutely stunning - every frame feels like a piece of digital art. But sadly, the writing doesn't live up to the visuals. The story feels rushed and underdeveloped, like the project was pushed out too soon. Despite the massive budget and strong cast, weak writing drags everything down - even great actors can't shine when the script lacks depth.

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.

I really enjoyed Tron: Ares, despite the mixed reviews. Experiencing it in IMAX definitely enhanced the film - the visuals and soundtrack were truly impressive. The CGI and overall visual design were stunning, and the music perfectly complemented the atmosphere. Without the IMAX experience, I can see how some might rate it lower, but you can't deny the film's visual beauty and strong audio presentation.

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.
