So, the movie’s about this super advanced AI program called Ares, played by Jared Leto. He gets sent into the real world for a risky mission, making him the first AI to meet humans face-to-face. While he’s out there exploring and figuring stuff out, he starts to evolve and grow more aware. Along the way, he teams up with Eve Kim—a smart tech genius and CEO of Encom—who’s played by Greta Lee. She’s on the hunt for some important code created by Kevin Flynn, who Jeff Bridges plays.

Things kick off with a CEO from a big tech company named Dillinger (Gillian Anderson plays his mom) doing some intense demonstrations. He’s basically showing off these tanks and an android soldier he’s made—which they call Ares—that can go from zero to battle-ready in no time flat.

This movie—Tron: Ares—is pretty different from its prequels like Tron: Legacy and even the original classic from the ’80s. It’s really grounded in today’s world because it connects with how quickly things can change and go wrong in our time. Not only is it action-packed, but it also adds that AI twist since artificial intelligence is everywhere now. We’re hosting it in our lives whether we realize it or not!
Alright, so here’s what’s happening in this movie: The story takes place in this super cool virtual universe called the “grid,” but then things get wild because it starts messing with our real world. This brings up some mind-bending questions about what’s real and what’s just in our heads.

So, there’s this character named Ares—named after the Greek god of war, which if you ask me, is a not-so-chill name. Ares is basically software built to guard the grid, but here’s the twist: he starts thinking for himself and wondering about his purpose.

The whole plot circles around artificial intelligence like it has a mind of its own. It’s kind of like those famous robot rules by that sci-fi writer Asimov. What’s neat is how this AI stuff can maybe be better than humans at being good—or not.

Even though Ares knows he’s “100 percent expendable” (talk about an existential crisis), he decides to rebel against his creator while Athena, another program, chooses to follow orders no matter what. That’s when things really heat up between them. The acting face-off between Jared Leto and Jodie Turner-Smith totally amps up the tension.

Speaking of which, the film’s got these great visuals thanks to Norwegian director Joachim Rønning—his work really shines here compared to some of his other films like “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.” The movie’s visually stunning and wraps all these fascinating ideas into a pretty thrilling ride!
Alright, so here’s the scoop on this flick: it’s the third installment and everything’s red. That’s the big theme. Just like before, it gets exciting with the “grid” stuff—think a hacking program going up against a system’s security defenses. Those scenes really steal the show.

Then you have these insane motorcycle chases zipping through a city that might remind you of something out of “Terminator.” It’s familiar territory for sure, but wow, they’re done really well. Hats off to Tyler Nelson and Pietro Scalia for nailing those edits. Of course, no one skips out before seeing if there’s another sequel tease at the end, even though we might not need it.

The movie moves faster than its older siblings, except when Jeff Bridges pops in as Kevin Flynn and tosses some philosophy our way—not that we’re complaining because watching him is always good times.

And let’s talk about that soundtrack! Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross teamed up with Nine Inch Nails to create some killer electronic tunes that just sweep you away. It vibes hard with those old ’80s video game feels where storylines were practically non-existent but still grabbed your attention. Totally fitting for this type of tale!
