Tron: Ares (2025) - Is AI Our Doom? - DOTR #130

from The Desert of the Reel: A Movie Podcast · host Desert of the Reel

Both Ryan and Jason agree thatTron: Ares (2025) doesn't really work as a sequel. It's fine as a movie, but especially when watched closely after the previous two films in the series, it doesn't really hold up. Specifically, it might be because Jared Leto's "acting" is not up to par with our previous main characters.In this episode, we discuss a lot about what it means to be human, and specifically, about what AI's role should be in the future of humanity. We also return to our discussion of the Other and of thinking critically (aka avoid being programmed).
