Tron: Ares

[The Salt Umpire]

Mrs Umpire and I watched this over the weekend. We got disinterested and I checked out, but she watched the rest last night. I sort of paid attention, then we switched to Wednesday and Fallout. I couldn't get into Ares and kept wishing it was like Original Tron.

I haven't seen the movie, but I was at my local record store and they had a "Top 10 of 2025" display, and, I was surprised to see the soundtrack at No. 8.
Was it really that successful?

Nine Inch Nails is a pretty major band. It would’ve had crossover appeal beyond just soundtrack fans.

New to Nine Inch Nails?

Even I know of them and I barely keep up with much new.

I know of them, but, unless they've been on in the background at the shop because of the technicians likes that type of music and plays it through his Spotify station, I don't think I could name/identify a single song of theirs.

I couldn't either but I know they're popular enough to hear them talked about.

I think I mentioned it already but I thought the film was worth watching (in theaters) for the soundtrack alone.

 

[DarthTimon]

Watched this with my wife the other night. It was a lot better than I'd been led to believe, I thought it was beautifully filmed, with some amazing FX.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I found the soundtrack to be underwhelming.

 

[fireproof78]

I was whelmed.

 

[Set Harth]

Whelming is a tricky business, it's really easy to go over or under.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

I found the soundtrack to be underwhelming.

I typically love Trent Reznor's scores, but I didn't find this one memorable, aside from the Wendy Carlos callback.

The Daft Punk score is far more memorable and I still consider it one of the greatest film scores.

There was far more kinship between Daft Punk's score and NIN's than between DP's and Wendy Carlos'.

This is true and that's my singular complaint with Daft Punk's score.

if you live inside the USA there's a physical release available now via Amazon and other places but not so much down under. In fact almost nothing about physical releases down here, thank the gods for region free players

Tron: Ares is a $200 million music album and screen saver. If only there was a script.

I would argue Ares had the best script of the three. But that oddly doesn't make it the best movie.

 

[Candleicious Ghost]

I'm waiting for my copy via Amazon

@Candleicious Ghost
Thanks to Instagram, I know that there's a store in Melbourne, called Play Music and DVDs that sells imported and Region Free DVDs.
I would check with them.

I completely disagree on that point. I refer you to my review.
