Highly Overrated But Still Good

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Blistering performances.

It seems every child wants to write another 1984, even better. Previous experience is irrelevant. Intelligence optional. And the result is a video game experience of a movie or novel. Gattaca, Hunger Games, building the total state because every dim mind knows what others need. Bloodshed seems to be a mandatory ingredient. And attractive people that are ready to kill anybody in sight become moral because the audience would want to spend the night with the actor or someone like the drawn character. A sick masquerade of people pretending to be somebody else and pretending to look for some ideal while settling down for very mundane, even worthless aspects. Cheap escapism. And ugly drawings.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

Aeon Flux is pure awesomeness. Maybe it is just because I am a fan of dystopia/utopia and cyberpunk action. But well, Aeon Flux was much more then that. The shorts were great even though there wasn't much talking in them. When the dialogue came in I didn't mind, the lines were natural, funny at times and also highly philosophical when required. The relationship between Trevor and Aeon is pure gold. They have completely different views on the world but still they love/hate each other (although not explicitly stated in the series). The story never falls into corniness or cliché approaches. If there is something I can complain about it's the fact that the episodes weren't connected so linear action is out of the question. There IS a plot and character development unlike what many people say and there IS a satisfactory enough ending which leaves nothing unanswered. Character-wise Aeon and Trevor are very humane at some points, there is no real antagonist and even though the motives behind them are not very clear, they exist. The animation is top notch, the music fits well. It's such an eye candy-action packed-masterfully directed series! For those who say it's Matrix-like I have to say they probably haven't understood neither Matrix nor Aeon Flux which is pretty sad.10/10 Awesome!!

Very nicely said. i know there are people who are stupid not to know what it mean. The art is just so bizarre, yet unique, and thats why its a good show. A futuristic world, cloning people, and using high-tech gadgets is definitely a good sci-fi TV series. If only they had give more episodes. You have done a very good job making this summary for all those people. I hope other people will be able to see this unique TV series and be able to share our thoughts and feelings about this weird but good TV series. How old are you, how stupid are you, how idiotic are you? Lol, I'm just making this longer so i can submit this to you, i have nothing else to say. Anyways, i just want to say how you wrote this nicely written summary. LOLOL

Peter Chung is definitely one of the most creative minds in animation today. This is his groundbreaking work he is best known for.Originally a recurring short for MTV's Liquid Television, Aeon Flux combined the flash of the sexy heroine and action movie violence with extremely surreal and bizarre scenarios. MTV later commissioned 10 half-hour episodes. Obviously the more high profile placement of a scheduled program lead to more network restrictions. Not quite the same surreal vision as the original shorts but definitely interesting in themselves.A lot of people saw it as some kind of anime rip off. It's nothing of the sort. While without a doubt drawing influence from Japanese animation the more apparent influences are European fantasy illustrators like moebius.I bought the TV episodes and shorts on a VHS several years ago. I'm not sure if it has made it to DVD. There's a live action movie based on the characters of the animation series coming out this winter. It's extremely doubtful they'll be able to pull off any of the weird stuff. It will probably be just another boringly ordinary Hollywood sci-fi/action movie. One of Peter Chung's ideas with his animation is to create something you can't do in live action.
