I saw it yesterday at a morning IMAX showing. Jared Leto is gross to me, and he's in this movie a lot—roughly equal time to the other lead, Greta Lee (who did a good job).

That said, Leto plays a very low-key role throughout, which somehow made it easier, like a lower dosage. I was able to sit through his performance. Hasan Minaj was also randomly in this in a supporting dramatic role.

The harder thing for me was the constant work of suspension of disbelief required for this movie. The trailer had done nothing for me and I straight up didn't like the idea of "Tron in the real world," despite the ending of Legacy.

I found the entire thing incredibly silly, which kept me at an emotional distance from the movie, but there was an extended sequence in act 2 that I actually did quite like. The story was a bit too simple: there wasn't even really much of a B-plot until partway through act 2. There were some non-crucial plot holes, so just don't think about anything too hard.

Basically, the visuals were great, the soundtrack was good/fine, and the story was silly but serviceable. This will be no one's favorite Tron movie, but it's watchable.
