DVD Reviews of Aeon Flux [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Good movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Blue ray is beautiful, and this is a very vibrant film. I suggest this as a good demo to show off to friends and family.

DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I love Sci-Fi movies and I also have a deep appreciation for women. Many movies that feature female heroines portray them in a way that de-feminizes, particularly some Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Adventure films. This is one of many reasons why the movie "Tomb Raider" is not a part of my collection.

Please do not be mistaken! Their is a huge difference between sexuality and femininity. The heroine that exudes FEMININITY will by default exude SEXUALITY. However, many movie heroines are very sexy to look at but are not very feminine in their character portrayal.

I am a man that thinks women are neat, with all their complexities. I appreciate their FEMININITY and their STRENGTH. This movie was very well directed. In that, it accentuated a strong heroine who was very comfortable with being a woman. It appealed to my deep love of Sci-Fi films and my appreciation for the "complete woman."

DVD Review: One of Sci Fi Bests
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is an excellent adaptation of the original animated series. What makes this such a great movie is the fact that although it is based in the original anime, it has a more solid plot and storyline. Charlize Theron makes a very believable performance, as well as the rest of the characters, and the plot of the story will have science fiction fans whooping. Excellent movie!

DVD Review: Aeon Flux Blue Ray
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a good movie and I own it both on blue ray and standard dvd format. I Like the speacial effects, sort film but well worth it!!!!

DVD Review: Very entertaining. Better if you never watched MTV.
Summary: 5 Stars

I read all of the reviews by the nay-sayers and I don't get it. I really enjoyed the concept and the special effects. Plenty of action imaginatively told.

If, however ,you are a huge fan of the MTV show, you won't like it. Anyway, I thought it was great.

Description of Aeon Flux [Blu-ray]

400 years in the future, after a virus decimates the world population, only one city on Earth remains. Ruled by the Goodchild dynasty, it is a perfect society of peace and prosperity - except that its citizens keep mysteriously disappearing. Charlize Theron stars as Aeon Flux, a secret agent/assassin/warrior whose mission is to bring down the regime. But as she goes deeper into her mission, Aeon uncovers some shocking secrets that put the mission -- and her life -- in danger.

Like the animated series it's based on, Aeon Flux is the kind of sci-fi that's best appreciated by the MTV generation. It's a serious attempt at stylized, futuristic action/adventure (the title character, played by Charlize Theron, is essentially a female James Bond for the cyberpunk era) and taken for what it is, it's 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 (Martin Csokas), the ruler of Bregna and a descendant of the man who found a cure for the deadly virus. As instructed by the Handler (Frances McDormand, 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 Aeon's high-tech gadgetry (including an eyeball that doubles as a microsocope) and the amusing sight of Pete Postlethwaite 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 it's entertaining enough to earn a small cadre of admirers. --Jeff Shannon
