Well, for a brief moment I had nothing to watch so I thought I would give Tron: Ares a chance, because why not. I tried. I turned it off after about 20 minutes or so it just was off in so many ways. It's so polished and shiny compared to the fuzzy warmth of the original, though I suppose that does track with the overall feel of technology over the years. Moving on, to the more serious problems, the dialog was just so absolutely atrocious it was the main reason I switched it off, bad line after another all delivered terribly, oof. Then there's the music, I'm sorry Trent, I loved Pretty Hate Machine in the 90s and he made a ton of great albums/collabs since but this soundtrack just sounds like a AI mashup of NIN and Stranger Things. Somewhat of a fun phenomenon but I feel all my complaints about technology could also be summed up by this movie, and my disappointment with it mirrors my disappointment with technology.
It just felt like a huge jump in the story line, on top of the script being bad. I felt like there was no connection to the Tron-verse. There wasn't really a follow-up with the son or the program that escaped in the last film. I pirated the movie while it was still in theaters and felt a sour taste in my mouth from the big effects but little storyline
Yes! All flash no substance, technology with no soul or vibe, overengineered slop built on top of a pile of legacy code written by some brilliant people.
