A highly sophisticated Program called Ares is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind's first encounter with A.I. beings.
Critics consensus
A sensory feast of vivid neon hues and a hypnotic soundtrack, Tron: Ares is gorgeous to behold but too narratively programmatic to achieve an authentically human dimension.
Audience consensus
Setting its colorful visual effects to Nine Inch Nails' rollicking beats, Tron: Ares is like strapping into a stylish thrill ride beamed from the future.
What resonated with audiences
'Tron: Ares' is lauded for its stunning visuals, Nine Inch Nails' soundtrack, and immersive worldbuilding. Some appreciate the continuation of the Tron universe and its themes of AI and identity. Criticisms include a lack of character depth, underdeveloped plot, and reliance on nostalgia. Opinions are mixed on Jared Leto's performance, with some finding it fitting and others deeming it lackluster. The film is seen as a visually impressive but narratively flawed addition to the franchise.
