November 6, 2009This is a pretty cool film. If you liked Dune and watch programmes on the Sci Fi channel then you will like and probably have already seen this. I compare it to Dune because it is a bit odd and completely unbelievable. If you like your characters with emotions then stay clear.

Aeon Flux is really quite dreadful; nothing more than a no-brainer sci-fi live-action flick based on the animated TV series.
First of all, the style and atmosphere are terribly artificial. T -
April 13, 2008not a bad ending but apart from that the whole basis was visual. there was a slight bit of story which was very similar indeed to children of men. only children of men carries it off a whole lot better. as someone else on here wrote in a review... it's a classic case of all style...( read more)

November 3, 2009Not a bad flick. Nice visual cinematography. I have never seen the animated version that the movie was based on, but the movie wasn't bad. Not sure if it is a movie that I would purchase, but it was entertaining and worth giving a view on a day that you don't have anything to do.

October 23, 2009Normally when you have an adaptation of an animated TV series the film version can be better just because of human actors and emotions. That didn't happen with this mess. This, at best, was a B-movie that Charlize Theron used for a big payday. Abhorrently boring. The original MTV...( read more)

One would figure, after 400 years of bad action movies, that leaders would learn: If a woman comes at you dressed in a tight jumpsuit, duck. full review

An estrogen-energized companion piece to Michael Bay's The Island. full review

Folks, I'll never understand studios. Aeon Flux is not that terrible. It's certainly more fun than a lot of films that get lovingly showcased. full review

August 11, 2008I liked the concepts in this movie. Any futuristic movie has someone's ideas put to film and it is good to see that there are people 'thinking' in this world. I liked it.
Take care all,

October 27, 2006Very boring. I'm pretty sure it was funded by the feminists though. It's just an excuse for flashy special effects, and to see charlize in tight leather.

October 14, 2006Mildly interesting, sci fans and anime junkies may feel severly dissapointedby this.
Theron brings class and style to this film and her body is quite easy on the eyes as she fits into the tight elastical costume. watching the film causes you to drift off on a tangent comparing her to the likes of Angelina Jolie, Rebecca Romaine, and Milla Jovoich from similar roles. The question isn't ho does Theron compare,more like is this movie trying to replicate those? My biggest complaint is the story or lack there of, and a failure to emphasize plot turns. This movie just doesn't have enough for fans to connect with and remember. -
