Summary:
Like the animated series it’s based on, Aeon Flux is the kind of sci-fi that’s best appreciated by the MTV generation. It’s a serious attempt at stylized, futuristic action/adventure (the title character, played by Charlize Theron, is essentially a female James Bond for the cyberpunk era) and taken for what it is, it’s not all that bad. The action takes place in the year 2415, four centuries after a virus nearly decimated the human race, leaving only five million survivors in a utopian city called Bregna. Aeon belongs to the Monicans, a secret rebel resistance force that is struggling to destroy the Goodchild regime led by its namesake, Trevor Goodchild (Martin Csokas), the ruler of Bregna and a descendant of the man who found a cure for the deadly virus. As instructed by the Handler (Frances McDormand, gamely playing along in ridiculous sci-fi regalia), Aeon is assigned to assassinate Goodchild, but there are deeper secrets to be discovered, and conspiracies to be foiled. This leads director Karyn Kusama (who fared much better with her debut feature Girlfight) to indulge in all sorts of routine action and fast-paced gunplay, but the elusive pleasures of Aeon Flux are mostly found in the sleek athleticism of Theron and costar Sophie Okonedo (as a fellow Monican), who commit themselves 100% to roles that are dramatically flat yet physically dynamic. Other highlights include Aeon’s high-tech gadgetry (including an eyeball that doubles as a microsocope) and the amusing sight of Pete Postlethwaite in a costume resembling a construction-site disposal tube, but Flux fans may wonder what happened to the surreal, chromium sheen future that gave the MTV series its visionary appeal. As a live-action feature, Aeon Flux is a miscalculated exercise in cheesy style and dour tone, but it’s entertaining enough to earn a small cadre of admirers. --Jeff Shannon

Stop the Flux!

Customer Rating:

Aeon Flux (2005) is a bad idea well-executed. The idea is really quite interesting, though. I remember watching the Aeon Flux - The Complete Animated Collectionwhen it came on MTV. I don't think I saw every episode, and I certainly couldn't get anything like a coherent plot out of it, but man, my memory says that show was awesome. Now that I watch the new Aeon Flux, I think perhaps I was a bit mistaken. The mini-series didn't need a coherent plot. It didn't need anything, really, because it was done in short segments, and it was only meant to look cool. This new movie does the same thing. The plot is confusing and when everything is finally revealed, it's, well, stupid.

But boy does it look cool. I think the special features on the DVD were more interesting than the actual movie because they're so concerned with set design and the filming of the movie in Berlin. Yeah, the settings are awesome. But the idea is a stinker.

I want to be able to recommend it because my teenage memories want to love it, but a bad idea well executed continues to be a bad idea.

This is a really, really, BAAAAAD movie....	Customer Rating:
Stay away, run, as far away as you can from this stinker of a movie. Nonsensical plot, horrible acting, cheesy special effects.... Charlize Theron for all her beauty doesn't move with the natural buff athleticism of someone like Kate Beckinsale or Milla Jovovich; she looks wooden and unconvincing as a super-heroine...

Terrible!

Customer Rating:

Basically this movie promotes a heroine who practices genocide against her own people by deliberatly severing the only lifeline that her entire species has to survival. Shortly after this, amongst heaps of praise for her unexcusable decision, the movie ends as though all is now well. The main villain has been a psycho running around murdering pregnant women. The main charecter is suposedly this great, pure person, but she takes his crimes soooo much further by eliminating her species.

All in all, a terrible movie! The designers seemed to have been promoting her sickening actions too which is perhaps the worst of it, that they condone the murder-suicide of the entire human species.

Love those strong women roles.	Customer Rating:
This may have not been a blockbuster but I really liked it. Theron does a great job with the female superhero type of role and it was a good sci-fi story with plenty of action.

Where's the 1.21 gigawatt flux capacitor when you need one?

Customer Rating:

This was a very enjoyable movie. It raised some interesting science fiction concepts, and has some very thrilling scenes (wait until you see the blades of grass -- emphasis on the word blade). It has mixed critical reviews, so I put off watching it for a long time, but now I'm very glad I did.

It reminded me of Gattaca, with some shades of Dark City thrown in. So, if you liked those movies, you may like this as well.

I have no idea how closely it fit with the Aeon Flux MTV cartoon, as I think I saw one (at most) of those many years ago. But, as a standalone movie, I liked it!
