See, this really explains why nobody can get this franchise right: nobody knows what the fuck is wrong.
Well, I’ll tell you what’s wrong with this franchise: it’s boring. You have shocking and wonderfully stunning visuals along with awesome soundtracks, but the story is boring as hell. All of these three movies are just so dull.
Make a Tron movie about something interesting, and people will go to see it. It’s a simple as that.
The thing is - the original became a cult classic in part because of the “cutting-edge” special effects. These modern takes look flashy, but they’re not showing us anything “cutting-edge”.
Funny enough, I think the now-dated look of the original is part of its charm. I wonder if a Tron sequel would do better with a “dumbed-down” look.
I saw the sequel in imax. It was also amazing. In no small part due to the soundtrack and aesthetic. The plot and acting was meh. Deaged actor tech was also uncanny valley, so was the weakest part.
Honestly studios have been leaning on effects for so long now, and they have got so good that it doesn’t really matter anymore, I haven’t been impressed by VFX for some time now and not sure I ever will be again especially with AI use ramping up.

I saw the original in the theater. It was exactly as amazing as advertised.
But it’s been a long time since then

Right… That’s why a $33 million box office on $180 million budget is “totally fine“

Good luck with that. 98% of Hollywood is derivative writing, and yet the unions protest AI.
AI can’t write better, I’d protest the thing taking my job too
LOL. downvotes…how many ripoffs of Aliens have we seen now? 20? 40?
How about F1? complete plot ripped off from Stallone’s Driven, and people loved it.
