Sure, Tron: Ares Isn't The Best Movie Of The Year, But You Should Still See It In Theaters For One Specific Scene

Jared Leto stares at his ID Disc cryptically in Tron: Ares. .

The reviews for Tron: Ares are coming in after it hit the 2025 movie schedule this weekend, and, like CinemaBlend’s Eric Eisenberg, who gave it a 2.5-star review, I also found the plot a little simplistic and the dialogue somewhat cringy. However, none of that really matters. All of the Tron movies have two things in common: they all look amazing (at least for their era), and they all have spectacular scores.

Following in the footsteps of Wendy Carlos in the original Tron and Daft Punk in Tron: Legacy, Nine Inch Nails deliver on the music front in a big way for Tron: Ares. Both the music and visuals are at their best in a particular scene that I’ll try to describe here without spoiling anything (there are some very light spoilers), because everyone should go see this spectacle in an IMAX theater, or at least a big screen, to get the full effect.
