SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Jason Wolff I have to say it blows my mind that anyone who was a fan of the MTV Aeon flux would say that this movie was anything but rubbish. this movie could have been made with nothing to do with Aeon Flux and they would not have had to change the story at all. I would bet that the studio wanted to make a remake of Logan's Run, but couldn't get the rights. so they continued to make the movie anyways but grabbed some other classic with a cult following that would got the fans to come out, sprinkle a little Aeon flavor into the mix, (mostly just the names and remaking one scene to flash around) and call it a day. This is not a movie about Aeon Flux. this is a movie that happens to have the same name. I feel bad for anyone who got stuck working on this project. and more so for the fans (like myself) who felt they had to go see it just on the off chance that it might have been something worth while...

Charles Stawell This film asserts an old fashioned philosophy that aging and death are enriching and timely aspects of life...It us worth remembering: Nowadays us humans are on the verge repairing aging... This film struggles to depict some kind of dystopia derived from the same 1000 or so human genomes in the city being re-inseminated back in to the population... As if cloning magically includes traces of memory... and thus the original clonee themselvesThe science is week to non existent in this movieBut yeah sure... Don't clone for replacements continually; meiosis does a far better job maintaining a good strong population/species... But as an individual, you can't have too much of a good thing... And when humans do break biological limitations on life span this movie's message or moral about death and making way for the next generation will seem silly... You're worthless and irrelevant until you exist, so it follows that it's nobler to preserve those who are than as many those that could be

flingebunt Turning the brilliant Aeon Flux animation (not anime...it is not Japanese) into a movie is a fantastic challenge. The original work is about a morally ambiguous female character wearing impossible g- string armor who run around killing vast numbers of male antagonists creating lakes of blood, usually for the purpose of stealing something we don't really understand for purposes that are not stated. Oh and she usually dies at the end of each episode. The movie makers simply ignore this challenge and use the name for a character and plot which probably didn't have anything to do with the original while managing to include a few minor references to the source material. So as a fan of the original I have to take away points for misusing the name Aeon Flux. But then knowing that before seeing the movie, the question is, how does this movie fare?When it is a stylish movie with great action sequences, dull acting, annoying plot, pointless voice overs and silly love stories.If the movie had channeled the spirit of Peter Chung and cut all the dialogue and voice overs and this might just have been a decent movie.

Dark Jedi I am quite surprised, astounded even, that this movie has not received better ratings. It holds a meagre 5.5 at IMDb. Rotten Tomatoe's ratings are, as usual, pure nonsense with a 10% rating and a big rotten icon. Personally I think this is much undeserved. Yes the movie is a bit silly at times and yes it does not take a genius to figure out roughly what is about to happen nor what has happened in the "mysterious" past.Still the movie is visually stunning. I would not say that this is a special effects movie in the traditional sense. There are no insane outbursts of explosions, no car chases, no space fights. However, the scenery is quite good and the martial arts stunts are really really good. Maybe I am biased by the fact that I am a male and the main character happens to be a woman in (very) tight suits but to me many scenes where simply visual poetry. There is an especially noteworthy scene where Aeon and a colleague (who have hands instead of feet by the way) are traversing a "garden of death" in order to get to their target. The whole setup is fairly ludicrous. I mean, in an advanced, highly technological, society who would resort to so bizarre means of protecting their main base of operations? Regardless of that, the sequence is just so cool and visually pleasing.The first two thirds of the movie is probably the best. In the last third it goes a bit overboard with pretty ludicrous gun fights which pretty much defies any logic, science fiction or not. If you have seen old Western movies where the good guy just walks down the street against a hundred "baddies" who all constantly misses him as he, on the other hand, blasts them just by pointing his gun in the general direction…well then you get the picture.Charlize Theron was doing a quite good job of portraying Aeon Flux but my favourite actor was really Marton Csokas as Trevor Goodchild. His mostly calm yet quite imposing appearance was very enjoyable to watch. I had more difficulties with Jonny Lee Miller in the bad guy role. I felt that he was a bit bland but then I am watching Elementary on Netflix right now and there he is a so much more dynamic and impressive character.Anyway, if you are a science fiction fan, do watch this movie. It is much better than the ratings give it credit for as far as I am concerned.
