Aeon Flux Review

I have to admit that Charlize Theron is one of my favorite actresses. If she wasn’t the star of this movie, I probably wouldn’t have seen it or liked it.

If you’ve seen the animated series on MTV, you may have a better appreciation for this movie. It is less confusing and weird compared to the cartoon. The plot actually makes sense in the movie version of Aeon Flux since there is actually dialogue that explains what is going on. Stylistically, Aeon Flux looks good in terms of costumes, set design and art design. It is pretty true to the animated series. The action scenes were not as good. Some of the ideas behind the action scenes were decent, but in the end the action fell short of the Matrix-style fighting. I really didn’t have high hopes for the movie, so I am not too disappointed by it and Charlize did a pretty good job.

Next week, I'll review The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.
