Tron: Ares


 Tron: Ares is a film that requires me to remove my critical brain and allow myself to give in to my childhood self’s absolute bliss. Tron: Ares is not a deep film on the human condition, it’s a Tron film and it delivers everything it says on the tin and then adds more neat o stuff into the tin. The film is set sometime after 2010’s Legacy, Sam Flynn has resigned from ENCOM and taking the reins are the Kim sisters and eventually only one Eve Kim (Greta Lee, delivering techno-exposition with the same conviction she brought to Past Lives) after her sister’s death, and she is in a race for a mysterious Permanence Code created by Kevin Flynn with tyrannical tech bro nepo baby Julian Dillinger (Evan Peters, chewing the scenery like a buffet) who has created a Master Control Program in human like form Ares (Jared Leto) who has one major bug: he questions his programming, teaming up with Eve the battle is on as the grid and real world collide. Tron: Ares is an absolute blast. It is a perfect mix of badass action, fun characters, humor and a kick ass Nine Inch Nails soundtrack, Tron fans are gonna lap this up, non-fans will be bored. I love this world and it’s lore and this is clearly made by fans like me and they imbue this film with a techno futurist beauty. So it’s a Tron movie and a damn good one, not deep but an absolutely brilliant escape.

 I Give It 5 Stars!!!
