"Critics hated Tron Ares but I think a lot of tech ppl will enjoy it because it covers AI in a thought provoking relatable way It's a crowd pleaser. Also when was the last time you actually had fun at a "critically acclaimed" movie TBH Hollywood needs to learn what tech did which is you should go direct (ignore the critics)"
