Znakomity thriller science fiction wzorowany na przebojowej serii animowanej zrealizowanej na potrzeby stacji MTV. [opis dystrybutora]
Like the animated series its based on, Aeon Flux is the kind of sci-fi thats best appreciated by the MTV generation. Its a serious attempt at stylised, futuristic action/adventure (the title character, played by , is essentially a female James Bond for the cyberpunk era) and taken for what it is, its not all that bad. The action takes place in the year 2415, four centuries after a virus nearly decimated the human race, leaving only five million survivors in a utopian city called Bregna. Aeon belongs to the Monicans, a secret rebel resistance force that is struggling to destroy the Goodchild regime led by its namesake, Trevor Goodchild (), the ruler of Bregna and a descendant of the man who found a cure for the deadly virus. As instructed by the Handler (, gamely playing along in ridiculous sci-fi regalia), Aeon is assigned to assassinate Goodchild, but there are deeper secrets to be discovered, and conspiracies to be foiled. This leads director Karyn Kusama (who fared much better with her debut feature Girlfight) to indulge in all sorts of routine action and fast-paced gunplay, but the elusive pleasures of Aeon Flux are mostly found in the sleek athleticism of Theron and costar Sophie Okonedo (as a fellow Monican), who commit themselves 100% to roles that are dramatically flat yet physically dynamic. Other highlights include Aeons high-tech gadgetry (including an eyeball that doubles as a microsocope) and the amusing sight of in a costume resembling a construction-site disposal tube, but Flux fans may wonder what happened to the surreal, chromium sheen future that gave the MTV series its visionary appeal. As a live-action feature, Aeon Flux is a miscalculated exercise in cheesy style and dour tone, but its entertaining enough to earn a small cadre of admirers. --Jeff Shannon
