Tron: Ares (2025)
Directed by Joachim Rønning
[Rated PG-13] 1hr 59min
★★★★
Tron: Ares is a sci-fi action film about a digital program named Ares who is brought to the real world in order to assist his creator with obtaining the means to permanently materialize advanced weaponry from the digital world into reality. However, Ares begins thinking for himself as he experiences various aspects of humanity, so he eventually chooses to risk everything for a chance to become more human.
This film is a spectacular cinematic experience that fully utilizes its visual and audio elements to their maximum potential. The visual effects are absolutely incredible, and there is so much detail in every concept they create. They’re also enhanced by the audio, as the phenomenal sound design makes everything feel real and believable, and the score by Nine Inch Nails perfectly accentuates the atmosphere of each scene. The music shares a similar style to Tron: Legacy but takes it in a new direction that appropriately fits the aesthetic of Tron: Ares. This principle applies to the rest of the film as well, since it honors the fundamental elements of the previous Tron movies while also contributing completely new ideas that effectively expand upon them. The plot itself is the only major weakness due to its convoluted exposition and generic narrative, but the overall story is still very compelling with its resonant and timely themes about the connections between humanity and technology.
I highly recommend Tron: Ares to anyone who enjoys stunning sci-fi movies and films that provide an amazing theatrical experience. It’s an absolute blast with exciting visuals, riveting audio, and modern themes that make it an excellent addition to the Tron franchise. This is a film that’s perfect for the big screen, and it’s definitely worth going out to watch it at a theater.
