Tron: Ares

Verdict: The awesome score and visuals almost make up for the underdeveloped and underwhelming story

Jared Leto plays a security program who starts to think for himself in the third film in the Tron franchise.

The first two Tron films – 1982’s Tron and 2010’s Tron: Legacy – took us inside a digital realm known as the Grid. The new instalment, Tron: Ares, flips that idea and imagines a scenario where the programs enter the real world.

The titular program, Ares (Jared Leto), works security for tech billionaire Julian Dillinger (Evan Peters), the grandson of David Warner’s Edward Dillinger from the original.

Ares and his second-in-command, Athena (Jodie Turner-Smith), are essentially super soldiers in the real world, doing Julian’s dirty work. However, they have a fatal flaw – they can only exist on Earth for 29 minutes before they “de-res”.

To fix this problem, they need the “permanence code”. But unfortunately for them, their rival, ENCOM CEO Eve Kim (Greta Lee), has just found it and has her own plans for its use. Let the battle for the code begin!
