TRON: Ares Set to Dazzle in Theaters This Friday

LOS ANGELES, CA — TRON: Ares opens in theaters this Friday, marking the latest chapter in Disney‘s iconic franchise. This sequel arrives 15 years after the previous film, TRON: Legacy, aiming to captivate both old fans and new audiences.

In this installment, programs from the digital realm enter the real world, with Jared Leto starring as a militarized AI named Ares. Critics suggest the film brings a blend of nostalgia and modernity that may resonate with fans. The original soundtrack, composed by Nine Inch Nails, also adds to its appeal.

Many reviews highlight that TRON: Ares lives up to the hype, checking all boxes as a legacy sequel that pays homage to its predecessors. The aesthetics of the film are praised for their unique color schemes and impressive visual integration of Grid elements into real-world settings.

Reviewers note the film’s action sequences, particularly the opening chase scene, as visually stunning, yet some express that it may not evoke the same thrill as earlier entries. Greta Lee, co-starring as Eve Kim, the CEO of ENCOM, has drawn attention for her standout performance that brings depth to her character.

Despite the hype, some critics caution that the film struggles with a conventional screenplay and lacks emotional stakes. The narrative has been described as predictable, clearly demonstrating the conflict between artificial intelligence and human identity.

TRON: Ares is said to present a cinematic experience best enjoyed on the biggest screen possible, with audiences encouraged to view it in IMAX for optimal impact. As the release date approaches, fans are buzzing about what this new chapter may hold.

TRON: Ares opens in theaters on October 10, 2025.
