Tron: Ares Review: Radically Empty Spectacle... But At Least It's Very Pretty

Tron: Ares.

Speaking as a Tron fan, I can honestly say that I never expected to ever see another Tron movie. In the ramp-up to the release of Tron: Legacy back in 2010, I can distinctly remember getting the impression that Walt Disney Studios felt some light embarrassment about the 1982 original, with distinct hope that the franchise would earn some cool points with a shiny, modern sequel. However, then said sequel ended up leaving theaters with the reputation of being somewhat of a boondoggle, with solid earnings at the worldwide box office colored by the film’s major budget and heaps of criticism about the attempt to digitally de-age star Jeff Bridges.
