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

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

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.

finally manages that balance between spectacular visuals and an emotional core that keeps you engaged beyond the visual “wow factor”

Rated: 3.5/4

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.

...an intriguing premise that is, unfortunately, slowly-but-surely squandered by Rønning...

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.

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.
