Tron Ares – Friday 10th October 2025

I didn’t have high hopes for this film. I’d seen the trailer, and I wasn’t impressed. I was disappointed to see that none of the main characters from the last movie were returning, and more importantly, neither were Daft Punk to do the soundtrack!

Still, I feel an obligation to support cinema, so I went to see it.

I didn’t like it.

Besides the weak, almost nonsensical story, the visuals were nowhere near those of ‘Tron Legacy’, and neither was the soundtrack.

How is it that modern movies cost so much more, yet seem to have so little effort put into them, compared to films from decades ago?

None of the characters were interesting, and the MacGuffin driving the plot was pretty ridiculous too. The only thing I enjoyed was seeing the original 1980s Tron set, featuring a cameo from Jeff Bridge’s ‘Flynn’, but even that couldn’t save this movie.

I can’t even be bothered to break it down. It was crap.

Yet more Hollywood slop; no wonder audiences don’t go to the cinema any more!
