Tron: Ares - review


Story - stupid.  Explanations not offered.  29 minutes & then bye bye.  How's that work?!?!  Don't say.  Permanence, how's that work?  Dont say.

So if we ignore that glaring oversight, how about the fact Jared Leto keeps breathing / sighing in the grid?  Is there now air there?  Maybe, bc now there's also water.

If we ignore all the liberties with Tron story-line (and 'canon'), the badly filmed fights where you can't see clearly the action, and the 'we can immediately generate things from nothing on the grid or real world' without explanation of how rules of physics no longer work BS, then ...

Also a moment on Jared Leto choice -- ignoring his baggage of being accused of criminal behavior with underage girls -- the guy doesn't represent any aspect of tech or VR or AI that I could see.  The fact that his beard wasn't precisely shaved into crisp lines was annoying, yep.  His walk was awkward, strange.  I'm very curious why anyone thought he was the pick for lead here ...?

I really liked the 3D printing style creation of stuff.  It looked cool.  Would've been great if they had elaborated on the insane cost of that setup or the cost of printing humans...?

The story line is also flawed.  Good CEO grieving vs Bad CEO who's trying to be more daring than his mama.  And the climax is Leto goes to Europe and has a croissant?!?  WTH???

Lastly, if govts could insta-generate armies of sci-fi murdering robots, the Earth would flip.  It would be a nightmare.

Anyway, I love the old neon-glow and the vehicles, just wish they could make a storyline that matched the first one AND not blow the whole thing.

NINE INCH NAILS music was THE highlight.
