My thoughts on TRON: Ares.
(Spoiler free but opinionated and factual review ahead)
(Summary at the bottom if you scroll)
Iâm going to say this right now: IF YOU ARE A TRON FAN YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!
SO! MANY! CALLBACKS!!!!!!
So many people are saying it has no connection. THEY HAVE NOT WATCHED THE MOVIE!!!!
Without going into spoilers, there are several references to BOTH the 82 and LEGACY movies!!!
Many people are upset that it is not a sequel to legacy. THIS IS FALSE!!! It is not a direct sequel, meaning it does not happen the second Legacy ends. HOWEVER, it references legacy, tells us what happens afterwards IN THE INTRO TO THE MOVIE.
AND ITS GIVING US A SETUP TO A SEQUEL! Again, no spoilers, but in the end they make it clear where this story is headed next and how this new cast of characters will be included in it. And the next sequel, again no spoilers, WILL be giving us more continuation of where legacy left off.
And disregarding all the references, continuations, setup to a sequel: I really liked this movie. Iâm not just saying that, I actually enjoyed being in a theatre and watching a movie I liked and thought was awesome and cool.
Sure, it could have had some deeper meaning, or prompted some philosophical thought in the audience, but thatâs not what makes a movie. The reason I liked it is because I not only love the Tron franchise, but this movie made me love a whole new set of characters, antagonists, and worlds.
And for the people who arenât seeing it because Jared Leto stars in it: Why? Genuinely? What has this guy done to make people not want to support the movie? The only crime I have seen people talk about is that he is apparently considered cringe. That it. I may be wrong, I have not done some deep dive into his history past a quick google search, so he may be some horrible person, I donât know.
But if you do not want to watch this movie because heâs in it, watch it for the franchise, the music, the world building, the CGI, god forbid for the other actors in this film.
Straight up: If this movie does not preform well and become profitable, they will not give us a sequel despite setup. Even if you think it sucks, if you want more Tron, support the movie.
Obviously you are entitled to your own thoughts and opinions, but if you truly actually watched the movie and didnât like it, I ask that you do not immediately say it sucks and itâs horrible without actual evidence. I had seen all these horrible reviews and honestly was very hesitant to watch the movie because I thought I may hate it. Safe to say I personally enjoyed it a lot and will be watching it a million times over when it starts streaming.
Youâre allowed to dislike or even hate this movie with a burning passion. But the last thing I want is for someone who may enjoy or love the movie to immediately turn away because of others differences in tastes and options.
And letâs say you have seen the movie and donât like it: whatâs the harm? You wasted a few bucks on a ticket and got a nice reclined seat and watched a movie for 2 hours. Maybe you got some popcorn and a themed cup. Itâs not going to psychologically scar you forever and youâll get your $20-30 bucks back in a week or something.
If you go into it with very high expectations and a pre-existing hate of the movie, youâre going to hate it. If you go into the theatre with an open mind, you may just love it.
In conclusion: Ares good. Ares is a sequel to Legacy. Ares will have an amazing sequel as well if the movie performs good. Who cares if Jared Leto is in it? I donât. This review is my very biased Tron-pilled opinion. You can have your own opinion, but provide examples and evidence other than âitâs just badâ. Also thereâs literally no harm whatsoever in watching a bad movie if it was one??? Watch the movie and form your own opinion.
Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk, have a good morning/day/night.
