Fans are reacting strongly to the Rotten Tomatoes score for Tron: Ares, with audience reviews differing greatly from what critics are saying. The new Tron movie hasn’t received rave reviews, initially scoring 55% on Rotten Tomatoes. While Tessa Smith of TopMob praised the film as “visually stunning” and “brilliantly scored,” she also noted its story and characters were quite simple.
Despite initial expectations, audiences have overwhelmingly enjoyed *Tron: Ares*. Currently, it boasts an impressive 86% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the best-received film in the *Tron* series.
The film received an 86% score, creating a significant difference – over 30% – between what critics and audiences thought of it. Critics generally disliked the movie, finding it emotionally unengaging with underdeveloped characters and a lackluster story. However, audiences seemed to feel quite the opposite.
One viewer shared that “Tron was my favorite movie growing up, and this film really reminded me of it – I loved it!” Others praised it as “Movie of the year” and a visually stunning experience, calling it “a sumptuous feast for the senses.”
It’s common for critics and audiences to disagree on Rotten Tomatoes, but the difference for the new *Tron* movie is unusually large. For example, the original *Tron* had an 8% difference between critic and audience scores, and *Tron: Legacy* had a 13% difference. However, *Tron: Ares* currently has an audience score that’s a significant 31% higher than its critics’ score.
Concerns about how well the new *Tron* movie would do in theaters started when early reviews came out several days before its October 10th release. But if audiences connect with the film as much as some suggest, those worries might be unfounded.
The new movie Tron: Ares is out in theaters now. As the third film in the Tron series, it follows Ares (played by Jared Leto), a program who escapes from the digital world into our own. The film stars Leto alongside Greta Lee, known from Past Lives, Evan Peters of American Horror Story, and Jeff Bridges, returning from previous Tron movies.
Why Is Tron: Ares’ Audience Score So Much Higher on Rotten Tomatoes?
When early reviews of *Tron: Ares* came out, many people didn’t think it would be a hit. But now, audiences are actually enjoying the new movie.
What’s behind the growing gap between what movie critics think and what general audiences enjoy? Disagreements have always existed, but this current divide feels particularly significant and different than usual.
Most critics agree the movie is visually and aurally stunning, but it’s let down by its script and performances.
If you enjoy movies that feel like thrilling theme park rides, you’ll likely enjoy *Tron: Ares*. That seems to be the intention with this film.
Generally, *Tron: Ares* is a visually impressive film, and sometimes that’s all a movie needs to entertain audiences. Strong visuals and sound can often make up for shortcomings in the story or acting.
You know, I remember when *Tron: Legacy* came out, everyone was raving about how stunning it looked. But honestly, looking back now, those visuals haven’t really held up as well as we thought. It’s funny how opinions can change – it’s made me and a lot of other people rethink the whole movie.
