15 years in the making, the third movie in the Tron franchise is almost here with Tron: Ares releasing at Cineworld on 10th October.
With a star-studded cast attached to the project – including Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, and Gillian Anderson – Tron Ares leaves behind the characters of the previous two movies and is geared as a reboot of the franchise, following Julian Dillinger’s creation Ares (portrayed by Peters and Leto respectively) as the AI being crosses over from the digital world and into ours.
If we thought ChatGPT was disconcerting, in Tron: Ares this is humankind’s first encounter with AI beings.
Tron Ares is being given all the special formats treatment – here’s why you need to watch Tron Ares in IMAX, 4DX, Superscreen, and ScreenX.
“Holy Grail of computer graphics” needs to be seen in IMAX
With Ares ditching the Grid in favour of the real world, this is sure to be a spectacular film from a visual perspective, deserving of the biggest screen in cinema.
Given the 1982 original was considered groundbreaking in its visual effects, expect Tron Ares to kick things up a notch, with director Joachim Rønning sharing with Empire that they used motion-controlled cameras in order to give the effect of the lens being controlled by a machine rather than man. “The concept was that a program is filming a program, so it’s shot by a robot.”

Get on your neon red motorbike and watch Tron: Ares in 4DX
Tron: Ares and 4DX feel like a match made in heaven, not least because their electric red colourways match. It’s also an action heavy sci-fi that will see you hurtling along in your moving 4DX chair right along with the characters as Ares crash lands into the real world.
Overloading your senses (in the best way), 4DX brings together its moving chair with water, wind, and light effects, as well as smell. Expect strobe lighting and maybe discover what Jared Leto smells like…?
