I’d argue visuals are a pretty major part of a what makes a movie a movie, so you could argue this is a case where style is substance. You’re not watching Tron for the story.

    That said, post-300 Snyder went up his own arse and the slow-mo action, music choices, composition from renaissance paintings - none of it informs characterisation, story beats, themes, or anything beyond “look how cool this is bruh”.
