Tron Ares
-
I liked it. I thought the action was pretty good and Jared Leto worked well. Setting aside my IRL feelings about the "AI" industry, the film had me caring about Ares and the future of programs like him. Whether intentional or not, I thought that the plot connected to how governments IRL are trying to turn "AI" into tools of hate.
Going into the film, I was a bit surprised that there was no real connection between it and Tron Legacy. I though the whole plot about Isos being advanced programs would have some relation to Ares, but it's not even brought up.
Other that the visuals Leto was the best part of the movie.
That really isn’t saying much though. Everything the movie did was so paint by the numbers.

The sound track is not nearly as good as the first two Tron movies, but it does have it moments. There are a few great tracks in it.
Sounds good enough to check it out. The soundtrack, that is.
Thanks for also covering the the only part I was looking forward to. Haha.
I imagine you can get the soundtrack from any streamer of your choice. It is not on the same level as the Daft Punk soundtrack by any stretch, but it has its moments.

Gonna have to disagree with OP's take on this; Nine Inch Nails' take on Tron is awesome; lots and lots synths and heavy drum machines. Full album should be available and out there. What I will say is that it's not the best thing that Nine Inch Nails has put out.
Love Daft Punk's take on Tron too.

Messy..
The only way I can describe this movie is messy.
Visually it is spectacular. Parts of it takes place in The Grid (which is a world within a computer) and parts take place in the real world and again the visual effects are spectacular in both. There was some really amazing scenes with the light cycles in the real world.

The characters are just one dimensional cliches…
Clearly Disney is trying to set up a franchise with this thing. I doubt it will. The elephant in the room is Jared Leto as the title character. He pretty good in the role.
The movies is a D- and unless you are a big fan if the franchise skip it.
So wish they had built off of Legacy. I haven't seen Ares, but the more I read, the less I care. Visuals and soundtrack alone do not carry a movie. I'm not even going to blame Leto for this, unless he was part of writing it. Which looking at the wiki for it, it was already a train wreck once it diverted from a continuation of Legacy.

I thought it was good enough but calling it "messy" is a good description. Visuals were great, music was ok but with a couple of really good tracks, characters were all kinda meh but the overall story was pretty good. I'd give it 3 out of 5, maybe 3.5 if it in 4k with a quality setup.

The music isn't bad it's just weak as hell, way too basic to be NIN or a Tron soundtrack.

Agreed. I guess they didn’t want to pay Hedlan and company.

That's actually saying a lot. When you step into shit and that shit is the best part of your shoe, you don't have a good shoe.

Legacy did not do well financially. That's why they did not continue it.

All they had to do is continue Tron Legacy’s story. Hell Legacy’s ending is a sequel bait, and they still fucked it up.
