Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Allen Almachar @ The MacGufffin
    • Excerpt: For all its technical achievements, does the film work on a dramatic, emotional, and thematic level? That question is not so easy to answer.
  • [New] | David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
    • Excerpt: Tron: Ares excels thanks to its amazing visuals and killer soundtrack, but the third installment left more to be desired when it comes to its service-level script and lack of engaging characters, turning this into a forgettable experience that’s probably ten years too late.
  • Travis Burgess @ The Sacred Wall
    • Excerpt: Tron: Ares’ is a surprisingly fun blockbuster when it can overcome its screenplay and a miscast lead
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: Director Joachim Rønning (“Young Woman and the Sea”) takes over the franchise, goosing the simple ‘good use of AI’ versus ‘bad use of AI’ plot with eye-popping effects-laden action scenes and a fantastic NIN score which responds to every emotional beat.
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: Dazzles the senses even when the story short-circuits. Sometimes graphics and music can override substance when the presentation is this electric.
  • [New] | Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
    • Excerpt: Tron: Ares is a fun time in the theater! Visually stunning and thematically poignant. Hopefully it doesn’t take another 15 years to get a fourth entry in this franchise!
  • Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
    • Excerpt: The latest in the series about sentient characters in a digital world follows in the tradition of its two predecessors: the creativity is in the visuals, with very little in the storyline, and almost none in the characters and dialogue.
  • Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
    • Excerpt: ‘TRON: Ares’ is somehow better than it has any right to be, but it’s unadulterated style over substance, a movie that impresses on an audio-visual level that will leave you completely emotionally flat.
  • Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
    • Excerpt: While the first was more chill with its action and the second wove action and drama together, Tron: Ares is a full-on, gargantuan blast of thrilling action and flawless computer animation.
  • Jason Pirodsky @ The Prague Reporter
  • Allison Rose @ FlickDirect.com
    • Excerpt: Tron: Ares powers up the franchise with sleek visuals, pulsating music, and Jared Leto’s layered performance in a thrilling return to the Grid.
  • Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
    • Excerpt: “Tron: Ares” is a decent blockbuster, which saves its viewers from being bored thanks to its fantastic visual effects, great use of colour, incredible sequences recorded for IMAX, and an excellent soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails.
