I don't understand the flood of negative reviews for Ares at all. It seems some expected an existential masterpiece, and the film is suffering for failing to meet those unrealistic expectations... Above all, it is a well-crafted, light movie. The screenplay is consistent and avoids the illogical 'cheap' tropes common in modern streaming content.Visually, it is a tour de force: the CGI is used perfectly without being excessive, the 'Tron-esque' sets are beautiful, and the cinematography is striking. There are also nice nostalgic references to the original. What more could you ask for? While the music is solid, I think the sound mixing steals the show—the way every sound and noise is intertwined with the music is superb. It sounds incredible on a high-end system. Jared Leto is another highlight, bringing a lot of personality to the role, though the rest of the cast felt a bit lifeless. Personally, I think 'Agent Scully' would have been a brilliant villain. PS: This is a must-watch on a large screen with a solid sound setup!
