Cool Costumes, Interesting Sets, Excellent CGI.


Catch it if you want some good New-Fashioned fun !!
The first 45 minutes of Aeon Flux are disjointed, confusing, weird.
It feels like you've stepped into a surrealistic painting writ large where nothing is quite as it seems, reality blends with the impossible, and sharp turns are commonplace.
As things progress, the movie evens out a bit and a lot of the missing pieces are filled in.
By the end of the movie, there's a cohesive story that, while it has a few holes, makes sense and provides reasonable motivation for all of the major characters and events.
In many ways Aeon Flux is all the more powerful because of the initial confusion, is more effective because we aren't immediately told what's going on or the point of the movie.

The year is 2415. Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron) is a top agent for the Monican resistance force.
Their mission
To overthrow the all powerful Goodchild government.

400 years ago after a virus killed 99% of the world's population, the order they brought to the sole remaining city was necessary.. But as they say, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely and Trevor Goodchild (Marton Csokas looking and sounding much like Kevin Spacey) has absolute power.. The power to decide who lives and who dies.. The power to keep the entire population inside his walled city. The power to control everything.. The Monicans want him stopped.. Dead.. Aeon has her new mission.. But things are not always as they seem and Aeon finds herself inexplicably unable to kill Goodchild.. Soon both the government and the resistance are after her, but there are bigger things at stake.....

What is really going on ?
Why are people randomly disappearing across the city?
What is the real role of the Goodchild family?
Who is good and who is evil and does it really matter?
Time is running out and Aeon must sort it all out before it's too late.
Some of you might be running off to IMDB right about now to see if Aeon Flux is based on a Philip K. Dick story.
It's not, but it certainly could have been.
It has that signature mix of future dystopia masquerading as utopia, misdirection, and action.
It also has the sharp edgy look we've come to expect from Dick adaptations, with just a bit of the Matrix thrown in during the action sequences for extra fun.

Visually Impressive, some good Performances, Interesting !!
In a future time, Charlize Theron plays an assassin whose mission is to assassinate the head of the government in the world's only remaining city.
While the plot may be a threadworn, the storyline moved along steadily and only a four year old would be unable to grasp what was transpiring.
Evidently, the avid fan of the anime series may be gravely disappointed with the liberties the screen play takes with the back story, story line, geography, character development, and side stories of the original series.
Get over it !!!!

Other than both an unnecessary voice over introduction and voice over concluding remarks that could have been better handle as a dialog and a soliloquy, respectively, this film moves at a measured pace punctuated with crescendos of action and revelation within a seamless vision of a flawed utopia.
The cinematography is good , in fact all production values are good.
The props are good - the future technology - is just demonstrated in use - there are no condescending attempts to explain it - and it works and advances the plot.
The technology is showy but not just for show.

The romance, and there is romance, is mature; not XXX, but the stuff of love, not sex - it's about what lasts forever - literally transcending even repeated death(s).
If the movie has a weakness it is that it was too short to give as much attention to the supporting roles as the leading roles.
This could have been a better movie had it embraced the cast as an ensemble rather than taking the usual approach of throwing the hero, the villain, and the heroine into relief and expecting everyone to play to them rather than act out the story line.

Aeon Flux is not a movie for everyone.
It's very much a surreal experience, a movie that doesn't tell a linear story and one that doesn't bother to provide a lot of context and background.
It takes a lot of odd twists and turns and sometimes substitutes eye candy for intelligent dialogue.
However, if you can stand the slow start and survive until some of the underlying plot starts to come out, it can be a satisfying experience.
It will particularly appeal to fans of Philip K. Dick movie adaptations - in some ways Aeon Flux outdoes the master at his own game.
If you like that sort of movie, Definitely go see Aeon Flux !!!!!


If you don't stay far, far away...
