BLURBS:

"Ares is super polished and slick in it's presentation, high gloss effects, and great electronic soundtrack. Jodie Turner Smith is an absolute stunner and the film does enough to insert itself into the Tron universe, but its more aesthetics than substance." - Tatiana King, For All Nerds Podcast

"What keeps “Tron: Ares” going are the breathtaking special effects, which borrow ideas from the original and adds some updates, and the propulsive score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (recorded under the name of Reznor’s band, Nine Inch Nails)." - Sean P. Means, The Movie Cricket

"I couldn’t tell you half of the plot points or story ideas in Ares, but as a visual ride, it’s pretty incredible." - Jared Rasic, Metro Times
