TRON: Ares

What to Know

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 Says

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.

Zaki Hasan San Francisco Chronicle “Tron: Ares” builds on the franchise’s history with new ideas and visual confidence that will likely delight longtime fans (while feeling absolutely impenetrable to anyone coming in cold). Rated: 2/4 Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Tron: Ares is a visual and audio assault so overwhelming to the senses that this is one movie which might actually be better seen on a medium screen, rather than the biggest one you can find. Your eardrums and retinas will thank you for it later. Rated: 2/5 Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Tron: Ares posits the terrifying possibility that AI may not destroy the human race but could just be really sanctimonious and annoying, with its perfect skin tone and chiselled bone structure and prolonged, meaningful eye contact. Oct 16, 2025 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk finally manages that balance between spectacular visuals and an emotional core that keeps you engaged beyond the visual “wow factor” Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 19, 2025 Full Review Nelson Acosta Koimoi Tron Ares feels more like a pilot from a TV series than something truly cinematic, thanks to its pacing and plotting that might be too tight. Rated: 3/5 Oct 19, 2025 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...an intriguing premise that is, unfortunately, slowly-but-surely squandered by Rønning... Rated: 2/4 Oct 19, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Shane Murrell If you can see this in IMAX, do it. Worth every penny. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review Andrew The score had the spirit of Tron: Legacy but at the same time was completely its own. The visuals put to that score was great. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review Jeff B I liked tron legacy more but this tron was still exciting and entertaining. I hope they continue the franchise and get all the actors back together. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review Billy Dee Action movie with fun graphics... action could be better. Story was meh too but it was enjoyable for a night out in 3D Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review First L boring but cool visuals Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review Matthew It was a Tron movie. Excellent visuals, excellent soundtrack. Decent story. Worth watching if you liked any of the Tron movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
