  After the ending of Tron: Legacy and the lingering sequel hooks it left behind, I had a lot of anticipation for a third Tron film. Well, after 15 years, it has finally happened! Better late than never, I guess. So, does Tron: Ares live up to Tron: Legacy? (Pun intended.) The previous film, Tron: Legacy (2010), had a phenomenal soundtrack by Daft Punk. I wasn’t sure Tron: Ares would be able to match that, but I can safely say that Nine Inch Nails did an exceptional job delivering a soundtrack that’s just as good. Their score elevates every scene and perfectly captures the tone of the film. There are clearly a few tracks made as nods to Daft Punk’s original score, which is a nice touch, but I especially love the violent grit in Nine Inch Nails’ music, something they’re well known for. The visuals are also stunning. The visual effects are excellent, and the scenes set within the Grid are a joy to look at. I particularly liked the way the Programs materialize in the re...

  Barring the extremely uncanny de-aging effects used in the film, the visual effects are exceptional, they still look better than many movies released 15 years later! The score by Daft Punk is absolutely phenomenal as well. While CLU is an entertaining villain, the story and characters remain somewhat weak, a problem that the original 1982 film also had. The pacing also drags a bit in the second half. Still, a lot of potential for a sequel! It’s not like we will get a sequel 15 years later right???

  Definitely revolutionary at the time for its unique visuals and settings. The visuals are definitely outdated by today and not visually everlasting like the original Star Wars Trilogy. It also has a very underwhelming plot with bland characters. Still, a lot of potential for a sequel! It’s not like we will get a sequel 28 years later right???

  You come for the brutal deaths, and this film definitely delivers with some truly memorable kills. The opening scene is incredible, building tension perfectly, and the MRI sequence is especially spectacular. It explores some interesting ideas while also serving as a wonderful send-off for the late Tony Todd. A few gripes remain, mainly the occasional awful CGI and a somewhat underwhelming ending, but overall, this was an enjoyable ride!
