Movie Info
Based on the animated series by Peter Chung, Aeon Flux imagines a future in which 99 percent of the world's population is killed through industrial disease, and the survivors live in a single city that, despite utopian appearances, is quite totalitarian. Disinclined to embrace any particular ideology outside of a hatred for Trevor Goodchild (Marton Csokas), the leader of the council that governs the walled city, hyper-sexualized assassin Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron) seeks to bring about a

The performances are plastic...
Top CriticThe enormous, and probably impossible, amount of style and wit required to resuscitate the original cartoon into something with real faces, bodies, gravity, and locations is beyond Kusama.
A failure even on the action-adventure/vicarious-butt-kicking level.
In the dystopian future, apparently, women will be bendable Barbies in leather scanties, and everyone will speak like brain-dead robots.
Aeon Flux is best appreciated for the costumes, the sets and Charlize Theron's haughty athleticism.
We know it's the future because everyone has the most ridiculous hairdos.
What is it that drives talented actresses to dive into a hot pile of cinematic crap soon after winning their first Oscar?
Even Theron's sexy catsuit acrobatics can't prevent boredom from setting in as the film's unimaginative production design and dull dialogue take precedence.
One would have expected something this cheesy to go direct-to-video %u2014 or at most to Showtime, on late at night.
Based on MTV animated series. Violent -- not for younger kids.
stodgy and listless futuristic thriller that only ever echoes other cinematic sci-fi tomorrows.
Between bouts of gun fights and acrobatics, "Aeon Flux" is a dreadfully boring and incomprehensible mess with a screenplay that constantly jumps between clunky to just plain embarrassing...
There isn't a hint of the actress who earned her Oscar for Monster in this blank performance.
a live-action feature that captures all too depressingly the original TV cartoon's evolution from inventive weirdfest to a more run-of-the-mill brand of dystopian cyberpunk.
spektakularnost potro%u0161ena zbog MTV-jevskog stila monta%u017Ee koji gledateljima ne dozvoljava da shvate %u0161to se zapravo doga%u0111a na ekranu
A story that is both poorly conceived and badly told.
An impressive display of estrogen unleashed!
Between Charlize's skimpy, spandex outfits and the equally-sparse, angular modernistic architecture this readily digestible, if implausible sci-fi adventure is laced with enough surprises to keep you engaged throughout.
The 15-year-old MTV cartoon on which it is based must be better than this.
