Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Kirpianuscus The message. And Charlize Theron. A Sci. Fi. And nice story about dictatorship, freedom and love. Fight scenes and great special effects. And the right rythm for a large target.Short, new level of cartoon characters.

Fujiko-san It starts off strong and is pretty true to the animated original. Theron is excellent and I loved the casting- though thrown by the non-blond Chairman at first. Also top marks for an super ethnically diverse cast of all genders which was amazing considering it was made in 2005. Visually everything is quite stunning, decors are fantastic, costumes, gadgets... Then, about half way in, things take a turn for the worse. It's really too bad. You can really tell where the producers cut the movie to shreds from Kusama's original edit. You're left with a hollow, almost hokey and mind numbingly simplistic plot reveal. The last 20 minutes of the film is a wash, even the final action sequences are terrible: confusing and even worse, boring. I was left feeling disappointed and wishing for a directors cut.

Ersbel Oraph This is an excellent example of anarchist dystopia: the government is secretly killing our agents so we are going to secretly kill its soldiers. You may call that the logic of the sharp knife. The next level is the syndicate bullying : we are many and you are going to bend upon our will. Anyway, anarchy will never be anything more than just a parasite on a functional society as the syndicalist society has trouble feeding its loyal subjects. And to kill, maim and lead the good war you need technology.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

TheMarwood Three different administrations at Paramount were coming and going before Aeon Flux hit screens. Inheriting a film they could care less about, the talented director Karyn Kusama had the film taken away from her in post and Aeon Flux had major surgery done to it. 25 minutes were cut, characters entirely cut out and the result is a very pretty film, but a film that just doesn't make any damn sense. After Paramount's gutting, it was dumped with little fanfare and no screenings for critics. The visuals keep this watchable, but most of the film is like watching an action test pattern. Any depth on every character must have been cut out and Frances McDormand's hair dresser must have had a nervous breakdown before sending her out to the set. In it's current state, Aeon Flux plays like an outline of a film with not an ounce of emotion, heart or depth. I'd like to say a director's cut would be nice at some point, but honestly I'd rather Kusama make a far better project with better material.
