This Live Action take on the Anime TV Series Suffers from, well it Suffers from Many Things, but it isn't an Awful Film as some Purist would have You Believe. It's just Not Much of Anything. The PG-13 Rating Kills the Many Action Sequences.In the Movie "Aeon", the "A" is Silent and Pronounced "Eon", is a Futuristic Super-Model-Kick-Butt member of an Earth Society that Survived a Plague and They are Provided with a "Gilded Cage" by Overlords that seem to Live in a Floating Flying Saucer Thing, have Mega-Computers, and Speak with Fork-Tongues.It's all very Complicated and the Movie doesn't go to any length to Try and Explain what's Going On, except in the Broadest Terms. It seems to be more Interested in Fashion and Fights, both Highly-Stylized and Frenetic to keep the Audience Distracted from the Vagueness of it all.The Movie is Easy on the Eyes just like Aeon (Charlize Theron) but is Lacking Something, that is to say, almost Everything that makes this Sort of Thing Entertaining. It's Shallow, Plodding, Confusing, and Dull most of the time and might be more Accessible to those Familiar with the Series.It's Not Much Fun, and Fails to Capture that Sci-Fi, Action, Modern Vibe that it is assumed was its Goal. Although it's Hard to Say what was On the Mind of MTV and the Filmmakers but whatever it was, it's Worth Rethinking.

I have never watched the cartoon this movie is supposed to be based on. In fact, I did not even know it was based on a cartoon until after I watched the movie and then came here to read the trivia and goofs sections.I felt that the movie was very imaginative, creative, and unique. The various plants, the objects and their design, the costumes; all quite unusual (in a good way).I liked the story. I felt that that too was imaginative. I really liked the movie. I believe that it was well written and well acted. The visual effects were good. I did have a hard time believing some of the moves that the underground rebel group made, but since it is a fantasy or sci-fi film, I tried to go with it.I recommend watching this movie, even if you, like me, have never watched or heard of the cartoon.

Just feels so...meh.Set in the year 2415, four hundred years after a virus wipes out all the humans on Earth except those in one city. That city was saved due to one inhabitant, Dr Goodchild, discovering an anti-virus. The city is now a (seemingly) benevolent dictatorship, run by the descendants of Dr Goodchild. However, strange things are afoot, thanks to the government. A rebel group does exist though and it counts among its members one Aeon FLux...Though the broad plot didn't seem overly original there was some room for an interesting story. That potential is wasted through style-over-substance direction which disguises a fairly weak and silly plot. The director does her best to create an air of mystery and suspense but this involves meaningless scenes, just there to confuse the audience. Cue the inevitable action scenes and explosions...Performances are pretty weak too. Charlize Theron seems listless as Aeon Flux. The character had the potential to be a great symbol for female empowerment through being a strong, invincible female action figure. Yet the writer and director hedge their bets and make her also a femme fatale and a sullen mysterious figure (to go with the superficial mystery of the movie). No wonder Theron seemed out of it - the character was so inconsistent!The remainder of the cast seem to be phoning it in too.

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.
