Film Focus

In episode 201 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the first trailer for Mortal Kombat 2 and the second trailer for Tron: Ares. Both films debut in October, and I am excited yet cautious about both. Mortal Kombat 2 is a sequel to the 2021 film, which I enjoyed but recognised had several issues. I am cautiously optimistic about the sequel, given the cast and interviews from the creative team, which are promising a better film this time. As for Tron: Ares, I have wanted another movie in this universe, considering how Tron: Legacy ended in 2010. The universe has untapped potential for more adventures. However, Ares appears to be a soft reboot, which has so far dismissed most of the core elements of the previous film and is focusing on a new story with a darker tone and a slightly controversial lead actor as the protagonist. So, what did I think of these trailers? Well, check out the episode to find out. Tune in to this spoiler-free review to discover more! Theme music by Indi – check out his work: @indiand
