  • Loved this addition to the Tron universe. No clue why the ratings aren’t what they deserve. The action, visuals, and story was everything I hoped for.

  • I'm frustrated with critics piling on this movie. My friends and family loved almost everything about it. The critics didn't understand "Legacy" but now they're complaining that "ARES" didn't follow up on "LEGACY's" wonderful storyline. We already have our tix to see it again. The only area that Disney dropped the ball, was in not producing any merchandise. Same with "Fantastic 4!"

    Please go see it so Disney will make a 4th "TRON."

    "End of line"

  • My son and I went to the theater with low expectations because of what we'd been hearing from the critics. I should have known better because I rarely agree with the critics. We loved this movie. It was entertaining and beautiful to watch. (We saw it in IMAX with laser.) We're planning to go see it again this week.

  • Awesome. Saw it in IMAX 3D it was incredible.

  • I would say that the trailer makes this look like a typical 80s story where baddies are making a weapon, but it's much more than that. I found the female protagonist Eve, to have a really interesting backstory, and although all science fiction is ultimately a retelling of Frankenstein, this story puts a new twist on the story. I insanely loved the 80s callbacks (can I say, Corridor Crew is watching this) as I am from that era, and a programmer, and Tron Ares strives to be authentic, and it achieves just that. The action scenes are original and compete with Star Wars in terms of hand-to-hand, and the movie, surprisingly, offers plenty of items to ponder upon, from the nature of consciousness, to yes, good and evil, empathy and AI. For what is a man, but the sum of his memories? What is a woman, but a conduit for the human race, for the best in us? The film calls on our protagonist to keep striving, in an era where the tech bros are not thinking through the implications of their AI world. Tron Ares has a tight script, with heart, and I loved it. I am off to keep programming The Grid.

Tron Ares Review: A Lackluster Reboot That Loses The Source Code's Charm
4/10

The movie possesses reams of intriguing ideas, but instead reheats much of Legacy's plot and then busies itself with semi-incomprehensible set pieces.
