Tron – Ares

Alright, so here’s the deal with this movie called “Tron: Ares.” We’ve got this high-tech program named Ares, and guess what? It’s played by Jared Leto. Anyway, he’s kinda new to the whole “real world” thing because it’s humanity’s first real shot at dealing with artificial intelligence up close.

So, Ares is out there trying to make sense of everything around him. He starts learning and getting a bit more self-aware as he goes along. He bumps into this smart tech whiz named Eve Kim (played by Greta Lee), who’s searching for some important code from an old guy Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) did ages ago.

Now, here’s where it gets juicy. There’s this other CEO who’s a bit shady and love making waves—even has some mom issues courtesy of Gillian Anderson’s character. This guy’s running a tech company called Dillinger that really doesn’t like Encom (Eve’s gig). He shows off these wild creations to some bigwigs—a mega tank and an android soldier named Ares—all set for chaos at a moment’s notice.

This flick really amps up what was in Tron: Legacy and even the good ol’ original from the ’80s. It’s all about the now—a world where wars can kick off in no time flat—mixed with the whole AI vibe that’s everywhere nowadays.

If you’re into fast-paced stories that throw technology in your face while keeping those relatable feels intact, then buckle up; “Tron: Ares” might just be your ticket!
In the movie “Tron,” something wild happens—this virtual world called the “grid” kind of bursts into our real world. It sets up a bunch of cool, if not exactly new, questions about reality and technology. There’s this character, Ares, named after the Greek god of war. He’s security software whose job was just to keep things safe on the grid but now he’s starting to question stuff.

The story by Jesse Wigutow is pretty straightforward. It dives into artificial intelligence getting a mind of its own—a nod to Asimov’s famous robotics rules. What’s neat is how they explore AI potentially being a force for good while humans sometimes lean towards chaos. Even though Ares knows he can be easily replaced, he chooses to rebel against his creator instead of just following orders like his fellow program Athena does—who ends up being more like an enemy.

There’s an exciting showdown between Jared Leto and Jodie Turner-Smith that stands out in the film along with some seriously stunning visuals by Norwegian director Joachim Rønning. He’s known for movies like “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.” His work here really shines and makes everything come together beautifully on screen.
Alright, let’s break this down. The movie’s all about that vibrant red theme, just like the other parts before it. The highlight? Well, it’s those intense moments inside this virtual “grid” world. Imagine a hacking program squaring off against a cyber security guard—it’s pretty epic stuff!

Now, when we switch to the real city, you’ve got these electrifying motorcycle chases. They might remind you of scenes from “Terminator,” but they’re still top-notch thanks to Tyler Nelson’s killer editing skills. Oh, and don’t forget Pietro Scalia chiming in with his editing magic as well.

Towards the end credits, we get that sneak peek hinting at a sequel (typical), but honestly, do we really need another one? Jeff Bridges is back as Kevin Flynn and he’s delightful to watch—whether he’s diving deep into philosophical talk or just hanging out.

And then there’s that soundtrack! Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross totally nail it with their electronic beats, pulling you right back into an ’80s video game vibe—which kind of matches up since the story here isn’t exactly thick on plot either. It’s fun though!
