Tron: Ares Opens to Mixed Reviews, Big-Canvas Craft, Sequel Tease

Sequel prospects hinge on box-office results despite early praise for the visuals plus a Nine Inch Nails score.

Overview

  • Disney’s third Tron film is now in wide theatrical release, introducing a new story of a program entering the real world to pursue a permanence-enabling code.
  • Reviewers consistently commend the production design, large-format spectacle, and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’s Nine Inch Nails score.
  • Many critiques focus on thin plotting and underdeveloped characters, producing a noticeable split between critical assessments and early audience reaction.
  • The film includes a mid-credits tease that positions the narrative for potential future installments without resolving key threads.
