Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

gjenevieve 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.

Python Hyena Aeon Flux (2005): Dir: Karyn Kusama / Cast: Charlize Theron, Jonny Lee Miller, Frances McDormand, Pete Postlethewaite, Sophie Okonedo: Apparently based on a video game and easily one of the stupidest films that a person can punish their intelligence to. It rates right up there with Son of the Mask as one of the worst pieces of crap released in 2005. A disease wipes out 99% of mankind although just enough survived to make this film. A walled city shelters the remaining while scientists clone people. Aeon Flux is sent to kill a government leader only to uncover deep secrets. Special effects are creative despite a screenplay that is about as fetching as a third grade book report. The director showcases the bizarre without reason while Charlize Theron drones through dimwitted dialogue and kicks the living crap out of numerous people every two minutes or so. Jonny Lee Miller plays the targeted government leader who shares a past with Flux. Yes, and they also share the experience of being part of this stupid film. Frances McDormand and Pete Postlethewaite appear in laughable roles. The special effects are the payoff and that is pretty much the only thing that this waste of time has to offer. It is based on a video game, and how many of those are worth the price of admission? Flux sucks and should be used as target practice, but first a little baseball bat action upon it would do it justice. Score: 1 / 10

PopcornLobotomy Firstly this movie inspired me. That's right, it inspired me to hit up Google Images to find naked pictures of Charlize Theron, which I may or may not view during the masturbation session I have planned for later in the evening.But, if that's your interest, you're much better off going for one of her "serious" films, like Devil's Advocate or The Burning Plain... hell, in the latter, she opens the movie with full nudity, so that must be art... Or at least art-IS-AN.So as far as I could discern the story basically follows Theron as she receives some imaginary mission from Marge from Fargo -- who has since had an abortion and apparently pinched her wig from Ronald McDonald after a heavy night with hookers -- and then runs around from place to place having LSD-inspired action scenes.People have inexplicable superpowers for no reason whatsoever, and half the story happens inside Theron's obviously drug-addled mind.I honestly don't remember the film all that well, due to the protective amnesiac walls I've constructed in my mind around the traumatic experience, but here's an example of how bad this movie gets:Theron ends up in a prison cell at some point, and of course we can't have the hero in jail, can we? Coz that's kinda boring with very little opportunity for side boob.So, with a seductive whistle that'd make even the most dehydrated stallion take a whiz, Theron summons a swarm of mercury droplets, which solidify, roll to her, and blow a hole in the cell wall.Firstly, why a whistle? It's so pissy! Couldn't she have done her little Magneto-ripoff trick with some kind of sexy naked dance or something?Second, where did all those metal droplets came from? I mean, did the T-1000 flop open a particularly raunchy copy of US Robotics magazine and shoot liquid metal jizz all over the facility?Anyway, eventually she learns she's a clone, and that all of humanity is surviving through cyclical human cloning, and she's like, against that... for some reason... but at that point who could even care?So of course they destroy the floating cloning facility, which just happens to be humanity's last hope for ongoing inter-generational survival. Yes, our hero pretty much extincts the entire human race in this one. Nice one, Theron. Thanks a bunch!Let's face it, if you know a little bit of Illuminati conspiracy theory you know the whole story anyway. This one ticks all the boxes, mind control references, apocalyptic future setting, people as slaves, cloning, transhumanism, duality and more eyeball close-ups than you'd find at a Skeksis banquet.Seriously, can't these Illuminati dude just issue a press release and spare us the acid trip movies?Anyway, we don't need to delve into conspiracy to prove this movie is a bunch of unentertaining white noise from start to finish. 3 stars, all of which are for side boob.Note: This review is a modified version of our Video Review: "Aeon Flux - A Popcorn Lobotomy Scathing Review".

inspectors71 Now, let me get this straight--Charlize Theron, easily the most beautiful "movie star" since Natalie Wood, got banged up pretty badly making Aeon Flux? Some risks are simply too great. Aeon Flux is one of the dumbest futuristic/dystopian/heroine- somersaulting-around-in-a-sprayed-on-spandex-thingy wastes of two hours I have seen. Flux (just saying it makes me chuckle at what the movie makers tried to do to me, as in, rhymes-with) is an old- fashioned 70s-sort of idiocy that reminded me, a bit, of John Boorman's Zardoz. It actually wants to be taken seriously, but how am I supposed to do anything other than mutter "jeez-louise" when Frances McDormand pops up wearing a Julia Roberts fright-mane, another character shows off her surgically implanted hands where her feet were, and Theron, demonstrating athleticism instead of dramatic talent, looks as if she's suffering from a stunt injury?I saw Aeon Flux on the Scify channel a few days ago. I admire how it appears that the network was able to cram the movie into 88 minutes without losing any crappiness. I don't admire how a cynical piece of garbage like this could get green-lighted. The cynicism comes in the form of assuming that audiences would just flock to see a live- action comic book with Charlize Theron non-acting in a whole-body Speedo. It's a decade since this movie came out; just enough time for the principals to forget their involvement. I'm not so lucky.
