The original, 1980s, "Tron" movie was one of those 'lightning in a bottle' type of movies, oft credited for its trailblazing mix of live action and CGI when Jeff Bridges enters The Grid.

It's sequel, 2010s "Tron: Legacy" never managed to live up to its predecessor, despite some striking imagery and an electric soundtrack mix by Daft Punk.

The latest movie, 2025s "Tron: Ares", is even further away from that, despite an intriguing premise ("this time, they're coming to us") that sees programs from The Grid coming into 'our' reality. The whole thing, in essence, plays out like an extended chase sequence (as they can only stay here for a limited amount of time, and are chasing a character who holds the secret to 'the permanence code' which will allow them to stay indefinitely), owing more than a bit to the far-superior "The Terminator" film (both the original and T2) but lacking the bite of either.
