Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Ole Sandbaek Joergensen Very different from the film with starred a very beautiful Charlize Theron in this tight fitting outfit, in this she is not this super assassin, she is clumsy and always end up in a situation where she is killed more or less. This is a really strange universe, where a lot of people are getting killed, but for a purpose no one has really defined.First season is only on episode, one weird and fast introduction to the universe and the girl, a rather violent and bloody scenery.Second season is a set of 5 small episodes, each 5-6 minutes, here Aeon is clumsy, tot he spy we want her to be, she dies in every small episode and it just becomes more and more abstract and sensual.Third season consist of 10 episode lasting about 22 minutes each, this is somewhat the final form of the series, still more sensual and different then all else, lots of violence, blood, shooting and strange scenarios.

ladymidath I loved MTV's Liquid Television and MTV's Oddities. It was watching Oddities where I first saw two brilliant series, The Maxx and Aeon Flux. I love Peter Chung's sci-fi series. It was so completely different from anything I had seen before. Aeon Flux started as a series of shorts on Liquid Television and became a longer series with dialogue a little later after that. The characters are quirky to say the least and even though the story lines can be disjointed and a little hard to follow, the sheer brilliance of the artwork and animation more than makes up for it. The series is rife with smoldering sexual tension between the Monican Aeon Flux and her enemy/lover Trevor Goodchild the benign Dictator of Bregna. Their love/hate relationship is a complicated one and contains some very interesting facets indeed. Nothing is ever straight forward in this series and each episode often contains an unexpected twist or a surprise ending. This is western animation at it's best. I have to say on an end not that I was disappointed with the movie as it seemed to miss every point of the series. In an interview with Peter Chung, he did not like the movie either. Aeon Flux is available on DVD

grendelkhan Like many people, I first discovered Aeon Flux in MTV's masterful Liquid Television, a compendium of cutting edge animation. The shorts stood out amongst a lofty crowd. the animation was slick, with visual influences from both Japanese anime and European sci-fi graphic novels. The plot was rather mysterious, but the whole was completely engaging.When the series came along, the intriguing nature of the shorts was expanded, although with some mixed results. We now had dialogue to help carry the story, and it was just as stylish as the visuals. Some stories were better than others, but all were at least interesting.The series was decidedly kinky, with fetish clothing and provocative behavior. It was definitely an adult cartoon, which was a welcome change. it's greatest weakness was also it's chief draw: style over substance. Given it's non-linear nature and obtuse story, the viewer was left to interpret the story for themselves. This made it challenging and interesting, but also occasionally off-putting. It could be somewhat repetitive, which is probably the chief reason it lasted only one season (aside from the cost). It stands as a monument to the end of MTV as a groundbreaking network, and is an obvious influence on cinematic work to follow, particularly the Matrix.The series is not for everyone, especially not children; but it is worth viewing for adults with an interest in animation, sci-fi, or challenging stories. The DVD makes it readily accessible and includes many fine features.

kinky_friedman I can't write too much about this show. It's not normal, but something suggestive of an acid trip. The overall quality of the show is bad, but I think that's the idea. Also, keep in mind I am talking about the shorts. I do not know about the full-length show.Every episode features the heroine, Aeon Flux, a physically fit assassin. She has an objective every episode. Do to the lack of dialog, it's difficult to see what the objective is. But usually involves killing someone or destroying property. By property, I mean destroying a plane or a train. I guess essentially, Aeon is a terrorist.I think the idea is there is a huge corporation that owns the world, a dictatorship if you will. Aeon is the underdog, the rebel, and with her disposable sidekicks she gets information or kills somebody. In this world, they have to check every nook and cranny on the body. That means it could be hidden in a fake tooth, a nipple, you get the idea. This can get sensual. Except they're cartoons. I bet the movie is better for apparent reasons.The coolest part of the show is at the end of every episode, Aeon dies for her cause, only to be reborn again. That sounds cool on the outside, but I think the real uniqueness lies deeper. I think Peter Chung created this concept saying that freedom is not destroyable. Aeon Flux just symbolizes justice. But despite this philosophical point of view, the cartoon is still cool because, well, it's got some cool action scenes.Overall, I give this show a C+.
