Tron Ares
Some great visual effects set pieces, and those set pieces are well directed.
Everything outside of those scenes is a fucking embarrassment to all involved.
The main character has nonsensical - even by Tron standards - characterisation, and Leto doesn't have the charisma to even come close to making it work. Not helped by the fact that every time he was threatening a female character, I was thinking "well, he didn't have to act too much.
The rest of the cast are phoning it in, with a couple of exceptions that reach something aproaching adequacy.
Brave of them to pull sequel bait at the end, I can pretty much guarantee that ain't fucking happening.
A complete mess. Soundtrack is alright but it raise the film up like it did in Tron Legacy - neither the film not soundtrack are good enough to achieve that.
They should have just put it together as a visuals reel and stitched it together with screens of text, it'd have been less painful to watch.
4/10 - makes Tron Legacy look like Apocalypse Now and I'm only being mildly hyperbolic with that.
