Tron: Ares.
Now I know a lot of people would say Jared Leto was enough to know it would not be good but I'd not seen enough of him to have that opinion yet.
TBF, no Tron movie was ever good. Just a lot of nostalgia for 80s arcade games.
Even the original isn't really good, it was just the first what we would call CGI/Live Action integration.
Oh, I was definitely referring to the original. I saw it twice in the theater when it came out but it was still the equivalent of a made for tv movie at the time. Great visuals. Terrible, uneven storytelling.
The story was never good, but the vibes of Tron Legacy were impeccable, and I love it for that.
More solid than the original in a few ways.
The goal of the good guy is so dumb, « let’s print orange tree on the North Pole » (hardly a spoiler is in the first 20min).
That was a test. But apparently the fact that it was specifically an orange tree was a reference to some tech thing in real history.
I enjoyed Ares. Not like as an actual movie, but it was a fun time.
The worst thing is that the opening credits got my hopes up that this would be a great movie, but then the rest of the movie happened...
