The Tron franchise has had a complicated fate. Once it paved the way for computer graphics in cinema, becoming a symbol of technological revolution. Then it faded into obscurity for years. 15 years ago, Tron: Legacy delivered stunning visuals but ended up with a storyline lacking substance. And now, after a series of rumors, cancellations, and anticipation, Tron: Ares hits theaters — a reboot of the iconic universe. But has this new film managed to avoid old mistakes? Yes — Ares is not just a visual masterpiece perfectly crafted for IMAX 3D, but also the first film in a long time that genuinely takes artificial intelligence seriously — on the level of ideas, not just effects.
