I also went yesterday. I'll share my contrary review[0].

[0] My review of TRON: Ares on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/bjIHvX

It was as good as it needed to be. It's not high art, there were a few "pasted in" references about the exponential rise of AI (a "newsreel" blurb at the beginning, and a scene or two in the middle).

The original was panned as off-putting and janky to "normies", there's no reason to expect anything different here. Some of the effects were cool, but I think the original had a bit more of a plot and characters compared to Ares.

In the original, it flirts a bit with avatars, power dynamics, and sacrifice... and how humans and computers (programs) were going to be relating together as the importance of computers would continue to rise.

This new one is more like: computers and people... they can be both good and bad? (shrug?) There were lessons and morals at times, but there were also some boring facepalm moments. With some slight tweaks and nudges (eg: a "directors cut") maybe it could be 30% better or make 30% more sense, but it would still be off-putting if you weren't really into a movie about red LED's in the first place.
