The new movie, *Tron: Ares*, has received a disappointing score of 58% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the lowest-rated film in the *Tron* series.
Although some people liked the movie’s look and music by Nine Inch Nails, most viewers felt it was visually impressive but lacked a compelling story.
What Critics Didn’t Like
Most negative reviews say that *Tron: Ares* looks great, but doesn’t connect with the audience on an emotional level.
The biggest weaknesses of this work are its writing and characters. Critics have often found the plot unoriginal and the characters lacking depth.
According to Silver Screen Riot, *TRON: Ares* is a visually impressive but ultimately hollow movie, suggesting the filmmakers relied too heavily on its cyberpunk style instead of a strong story.
According to the Independent (UK), the new film *Tron: Ares* looks like a mobile game, but explores surprisingly complex ideas. They suggest its themes make the original *Tron* – where Jeff Bridges’ character enters a computer – seem almost simplistic in comparison, as if it were conceived by deep thinkers.
Beyond a nostalgic feel and a great Nine Inch Nails soundtrack, the movie doesn’t quite deliver. It features strong performances from its actors, but the ideas it explores feel misguided and ultimately miss the mark of what the franchise is about, according to IGN Movies.
The series has become completely lacking in compelling stories, relatable characters, or any sense of excitement. It feels as outdated and irrelevant today as an old CD player in a car.
According to *TheWrap*, the soundtrack for ‘Tron: Ares’ is fantastic, but the movie itself is terrible.
Honestly, a lot of reviewers weren’t thrilled with Jared Leto’s performance, and I kind of get it. They also felt the movie moved too far away from the original *Tron*’s cool, contained digital world. A big complaint was that it prioritized looking flashy over having a solid story – and I think they had a point. It seemed like bringing the digital stuff into the real world actually took away what made *Tron* special to begin with.
What Some Critics Did Like
Okay, so everyone seems to be down on *Tron: Ares*, but I’ve seen a lot of people actually defending it. A bunch of critics really loved how it *looked* – the visual effects were top-notch, and the sound design was amazing. And the Nine Inch Nails soundtrack? Seriously, everyone’s talking about that! Some even thought it was worth seeing in a theater just for the sheer spectacle of it all.
According to *The Movie Podcast*, “TRON: Ares” is visually stunning and features an incredibly exciting and immersive soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails. While the movie’s story is fairly straightforward, it’s still a major success in terms of its visuals and sound.
According to Collider, the latest installment in the series, Ares, is a significant improvement, finally living up to the potential of the world established over four decades ago.
While “Tron: Ares” has exciting action and a great soundtrack, according to Polygon, it risks fading into the background alongside all the other movies it influenced.
Final Verdict
Though *Tron: Ares* is visually and aurally impressive, its story and emotional impact are lacking.
With a 58% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, this film might please those who enjoy sci-fi visuals and are fans of the original *Tron*, but most viewers and critics seem to find it lacking in substance.
