"Tron: Ares" hit a bit of a bumpy financial road when it was released in theaters back in October 2025, gaining nowhere near its reported $220 million budget after the global box office receipts were counted. The vivid sci-fi thriller was hampered by mediocre reviews and the fact that 15 long years had passed since the franchise’s last installment, "Tron: Legacy."
But since the 1982 original appeared, "Tron" has maintained an adoring fanbase. For pure popcorn entertainment paired with a bone-jarring electronic soundtrack, this underrated flick deserves a second chance, and it's getting one, as Tron: Ares debuts on Disney+ streaming on January 7.
