"Last week was about Taylor Swift, but this week is Nine Inch Nails' album-release party in theaters - a.k.a. Tron: Ares. That's the best thing this film, which features Jared Leto as an AI protagonist, has going for it. There's also J.Lo doing what J.Lo does best (performing dramatically), Channing Tatum doing what he does best (being a lovable doof), and Tim Robinson doing what he does best ( being a real silly sicko)."
"Tim Robinson stars as a shopping-mall developer who sits on a chair that collapses onstage, sending him on a quest to track down the manufacturer. Surreal events transpire. If you're wondering whether he can expand I Think You Should Leave's specific humor into serialized storytelling form, the answer is "yes" - by grafting it into the frame of a conspiracy thriller. -Nicholas Quah"
""Joachim Rønning does get his own kick-ass score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, all ominous throbbing, but can't come up with anything visually distinctive. He imports the streaks-of-colored-light showdowns from the digital grid onto the paved roads of a real city, but that turns out to be far less cool looking than dumping a human into an alien computerized world.""
Tron: Ares centers on an AI protagonist played by Jared Leto and stages a Nine Inch Nails album-release party in theaters. The film features a brooding score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross but receives criticism for transplanting digital-grid visual effects onto real city streets. Tim Robinson headlines a surreal serialized story about a mall developer whose collapsing chair sparks a quest and conspiracy-thriller framing that expands I Think You Should Leave's humor. Bill Condon's Kiss of the Spider Woman adaptation casts Jennifer Lopez as Ingrid Luna. Roofman follows spree robber Jeffrey Manchester hiding in a Toys"R"Us and meeting Leigh Wainscott (Kirsten Dun).
