Well, that's twice Regal Cinemas has surprised me. I've gone in both times expecting the foulest, least appetizing, most horrendous monstrosity known to man and in both cases it turned out suitably palatable. The first was their "Pepsi Drips" boba drinks, and this time was Tron Ares.

Was the movie good enough that I think my friends should see it? No.
Am I glad I saw it? Yes in the mildest form.
The aesthetics were on point despite the redness, though I had mostly expected that to be the case.

What surprised me was... every character was compelling? They all had perfect character dynamics?!
This was the first role Jared Leto ever played that I didn't feel repelled from.
It might have helped that he was a computer program and not a human...

The lore building was very satisfactory on a me level.

The critical flaw? The thing keeping it from being ascendant in my pantheon? It was that Daft Punk broke up in 2021 and Nine Inch Nails just.... isn't the same. That could have elevated it to an eight or nine.

Still, it was nice to get out of the house 🙂
