Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Tron: Ares is a disappointing sequel that fails to revitalize the Tron franchise. While Tron: Legacy had redeeming qualities like stunning visuals and Daft Punk's score, Ares is described as a 'middling attempt' and 'by the number follow-up' that lacks the energy to reenergize the series. The article critiques the film as being too inert and running low on creative momentum, positioning it as a soft reboot that doesn't live up to its potential.
