Looking at the new cyber-triller by Joachim Raning "Tron: Ares"- The third feature "throne" in 43 years - I found myself wondering how everything needed to work. In the Universe of Tron, people write computer programs, but those programs actually manifest themselves as humanoid creatures deep in a special electrical dimension. The programs not only have free will, but also all theology, worshiping their developers - their users - like gods. The ethics of unfortunate creation and deletion of intelligent digital slaves was the kind of "Tron: Heritage" of Josephoseph Kosinski in 2010, "a pretty cool film, but one who does not deeply deeply explore in his moral and theological themes. It was Frankenstein, a warning that your creations would become.

In Steven Lisberger's original "throne", it was introduced that a specialized laser can reduce people in energy patterns and insert them into the electrical dimension - the network - where they appear as programs. It is astonishing to think that the hard drive in 1982 was already sufficiently sophisticated to contain all human consciousness. It is a lot of terabytes. The laser can also bring people back to their fleshy alone.

Tron: Ares has a computer security program named Ares (Arred Summer) that can manifest itself in the real world through an ultra-sophisticated 3D printer. It seems to be made of meat and blood, but it is probably built of some plastic. 3D printers can also manifest complex motorcycles, cars, tanks, wings of angels and air ships, all machines that seem to have an infinite power supply, which can create Wallsids long mile, six meters ahead, while accelerating through the streets and sky.

And, if I'm sitting there, I wonder what the skin of the Aredared Summer is made, or how the cyber-cycle can be filled, then I am clearly excluded with any story "Tron: Ares" trying to tell it. This movie is pretty bad.

"Tron: Ares" is everything a plot and no heart. Almost every scene is full of exhibition, with characters explaining, explaining what they are doing in that room, explaining why they need this-or laser gun. I appreciate the clarity in the movies, but this is a cyber-loop through the line. Evan Peters plays Jululian Dillinger, the nephew of The image of David Warner From "Throne" in 1982 and he invented a miracle laser that can, as mentioned, 3D print artificially intelligent android people, as well as tank-sized military vehicles, for military vehicles, for a few minutes. It aims to sell the technology to arms producers, which shows an amazing lack of imagination. If the laser can create a full power supply, a high-tech super-vehicle in a matter of minutes, all with a seemingly little power brain and no waste, then the world road infrastructure is more or less fostered in eternity.

Dillinger wants to print his main safety program, Ares, to show it to Demos. The only question is that the objects Dillinger printed only 29 minutes before breaking into dust. It requires a mythical consistency code to make printed items last forever. Fortunately for him, an old business rival named Eva Kim (Greta Lee, whose talents are spent) things to find such a code, locked somewhere deep in Kevin's computers, the image of Effe Bridges from the original "throne". Eva Kim is the thinnest character seen in the blockbuster films since F1, who has no person outside a cork for mourning for the recently deceased sister. Lee is a tinted, intense artist, but Kim is such a character. Like many other people in "Tron: Ares", she was saddened by explaining the audience from stage to stage.

When Eve finds the consistency code, she reveals that she can create an animal, eating fruit with it. If this was always an opportunity, then why did anyone care for the production of weapons? This is a device that can literally create pre-program people out of slim air and also solve world hunger. This is a machine that can free the world of desire, money, lack. That would contribute in a new age to mankind. But the characters in "Tron: Ares", for their whole explanation of the plot, never cease to notice about the enormity of their invention. Instead, they print human slaves and send them to motorcycles to return McGufins. There are several ideas for tantalizing sciences within Tron: Ares that directors are not the least interested in research.

Aredard Summer also proves to be less than an Elleven leading man. Ares is a live computer program program that has little direct contact with mankind and only gets information with a mental scan of every computer everywhere. He is capable and violent, but childish and naive. Late in the film there is a cute scene in which Ares admits that his Loveube to the Depeche regime cannot be summarized in words. Ares should be hard and mechanical, but to have a small spark, blinking in the eye to convince viewers that there is some humanity deep within himself. Summer cannot manifest that spark, that trembling of humor. As such, Ares is not an interesting, charming action character. He's not Brent Spine.

His motives are unclear. He longs for the code of consistency, but when his print avatar in the real world is destroyed, his consciousness only avoids the way back to the computer. It's not too late in the movie, he was going to be a slave anymore. Maybe that was supposed to appear earlier.

Other actors are also spent. Illlian Anderson plays a treadmill as Dillinger's mother, who only has to warn him that he has taken things too far. Arturo Castro plays Eva Kim's "comedy", but it only seems to exist to give Eve someone to explain things. Taking advantage of the best was Ododi Turner-Smith as an Athena, another security program that is regularly introduced into the real world and managed by her aggression and her cold commitment to the task available.

Just as he boasted "throne: inheritance" unique, landmark of daft punkTron: Ares gets a lot of auditory mileage from the electronic intensity of nine inch nails. The result is wonderful in a vacuum, musically describing a much more complex, interesting movie than the one we see. You can get a record of the Tron: Ares soundtrack and get more than that of the movie itself.

And then, despite being distracted by the impractical physics of Throne and being extremely non-war since the summer performance, I began to wonder what we are still doing here. "Tron" was released in 1982, when computers were inexpressible and Byzantine machines. The general public did not know how they worked very well, so we can predict small people living in them, deployed in a small society. Expanding that thought, if the 1982 computer can maintain a whole society, how many people can you get into your Apple Watch? In 2025, computers became more powerful, and resolving their abilities (positive and negative) is a concern in real life. And, will we be able to solve the true technological issues and problems using a sequel to the late stage of cyber thriller 43 years ago? Interesting topics may have been explored in the movie "Tron", but "Tron: Ares" is not.
