In a vibrant showcase of cinematic art, Disney’s sci-fi action feature, *Tron: Ares*, made its highly anticipated world premiere in Los Angeles. Critics’ complete reviews will be available tomorrow morning; however, early reactions flooding social media have begun to crystallize a consensus: the film is visually stunning—especially in IMAX—and features an unforgettable soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails.
*Tron: Ares* dives into contemporary themes addressing humanity’s relationship with artificial intelligence. Jared Leto stars as a cutting-edge AI program venturing beyond the digital realm to fulfill real-world missions. Joining him are Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, and Gillian Anderson, with Jeff Bridges reprising his iconic role as Kevin Flynn.
Directed by Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Rønning, known for *Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales* and *Maleficent: Mistress of Evil*, the film’s screenplay is penned by Jesse Wigutow, complemented by cinematography from acclaimed David Fincher collaborator Jeff Cronenweth. The film’s engaging soundscape is delivered by the Oscar-winning duo of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross from Nine Inch Nails.
As we await a full critique of *Tron: Ares*, below are some early social media reactions echoing excitement and skepticism alike:
#TRONAres is THRILLING, pulse-pounding, and a VISUAL SPECTACULAR! The real star of the show is the mind-melting soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails, which methodically matches every moment. Story may be simple, but the IMAX experience more than makes up for it. We need to see a sequel. @dbapz
#TronAres is a straightforward story, yet features exceptional visuals and a captivating soundtrack. While it may lack emotional depth, the nostalgic nods to *Tron* legacy maintain the audience’s engagement. @GermainLussier
#TronAres delivers an extraordinary fusion of tech and real-world aesthetics that captivates. The practical stunts contribute to its action-packed tempo, making it essential viewing in *IMAX*. @TheJonathanSim
#TronAres is visually astounding, with heart-pounding tracks that fuel the narrative. The middle of the story draws in the viewer, though the cast faces the complexities of exposition toward the conclusion. Don’t miss it in *IMAX*! @BrandonDavisBD
#TronAres showcases eye-popping visuals and an electrifying score that feels like its own character. Greta Lee and Jodie Turner-Smith shine dramatically throughout. Wonderful spectacle! @Lulamaybelle
#TronAres indulges in stunning visuals that beckon to be experienced in *IMAX* 3D. An audacious plunge into spectacle albeit met with a somewhat feeble plot. Still, worth the trip to the cinema. @PeterSciretta
