Jared Leto’s latest performance in the sci-fi film “Tron: Ares” has left many feeling sympathetic towards him. The movie, set in a futuristic world and centered around a malfunctioning computer program evolving to experience empathy, fails to captivate audiences with its unoriginal plot and lackluster execution.
Despite Leto’s aspirations to be recognized as a serious actor, his choice of roles in films like “Suicide Squad” and “Morbius” continues to disappoint. “Tron: Ares” is deemed by some as a subpar sequel to “Tron: Legacy,” receiving harsh criticism even before its release.
The film follows Eve Kim, a tech CEO, embroiled in a high-stakes battle involving advanced AI technology and corporate greed. The narrative unfolds in a world where characters manipulate a digital realm for power and profit, leading to catastrophic consequences.
While “Tron: Ares” boasts sleek visuals and a Nine Inch Nails score, it falls short in delivering a compelling storyline and meaningful commentary on relevant themes such as AI ethics and tech industry influence. The movie’s avoidance of taking a stand on these critical issues leaves viewers underwhelmed and craving more substance.
Despite its shortcomings, “Tron: Ares” manages to provide some entertainment value through its action sequences and suspenseful moments. However, its failure to engage with complex themes and deliver a truly memorable experience leaves it ultimately forgettable in the realm of big-budget sci-fi cinema.
