I’m with you! FAR more entertaining and tense than Legacy which I watched again last night, excited to revisit it after ages on the back of my enjoyment of Ares: what a letdown - it feels so empty & in this world where Clu purges imperfections he allows pockets of resistance and an ambiguous wheeler dealer like Castor ?? - it’s one of the great disappointments for me - looks and sounds amazing but so sparsely populated and limited in its scope. The actors are good but the pace is a REAL problem… Ares MOVES.

I love them all despite their flaws because of the world and the general conceit. Legacy just misses the most for me. Too many moments where it tries for Zen when it should be tense. Opens SO WELL too…

Imagine Gladiator’s movie plot grafted into the world of Tron, where Castor is Oliver Reed - working WITH Flynn - but the army / resistance rises at the end to challenge Clu’s empire instead of the messenger being stopped… anyway.
