Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

James Mottram

Artificial intelligence artfully enters our universe in this beautifully designed if slightly hollow third instalment in the Tron franchise, directed by Joachim Rønning (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil). Jared Leto is Ares, a sophisticated security program created by Evan Peters's Dillinger, son to Gillian Anderson's CEO. The military-grade Ares can exist in human form in the real world, but only for 29 minutes. The race is on to find a "permanence code" to change this, with Dillinger's rival techie Eve Kim (Greta Lee) also in the hunt. Certainly, the sight of Light Cycles, the digital motorbikes from the 1982 original, streaming through urban streets is thrilling. Aesthetically, the black-and-red design scheme and the Nine Inch Nails electronica score (despite not touching Daft Punk's work on 2010's Tron: Legacy) pleases. Leto and Jodie Turner-Smith, as fellow AI Athena, also excel, and yes, the original star Jeff Bridges returns. But a seen-it-all-before AI plot and largely humourless script put the brakes on this blockbuster becoming a classic.
