Visually it is spectacular. Parts of it takes place in The Grid (which is a world within a computer) and parts take place in the real world and again the visual effects are spectacular in both. There was some really amazing scenes with the light cycles in the real world.

The sound track is not nearly as good as the first two Tron movies, but it does have it moments. There are a few great tracks in it.

The characters are just one dimensional cliches…

Clearly Disney is trying to set up a franchise with this thing. I doubt it will. The elephant in the room is Jared Leto as the title character. He pretty good in the role.

The movies is a D- and unless you are a big fan if the franchise skip it.

I liked it. I thought the action was pretty good and Jared Leto worked well. Setting aside my IRL feelings about the "AI" industry, the film had me caring about Ares and the future of programs like him. Whether intentional or not, I thought that the plot connected to how governments IRL are trying to turn "AI" into tools of hate.

Going into the film, I was a bit surprised that there was no real connection between it and Tron Legacy. I though the whole plot about Isos being advanced programs would have some relation to Ares, but it's not even brought up.

Other that the visuals Leto was the best part of the movie.

That really isn’t saying much though. Everything the movie did was so paint by the numbers.

That's actually saying a lot. When you step into shit and that shit is the best part of your shoe, you don't have a good shoe.

I also enjoyed it, though I thought it peaked at the escape and then petered out slowly. It's kind of like there is a sweet spot for the amount of Jared Leto and youd be better off to stop there. The audio and visuals are at times fantastic.
