Aeon Flux

February 13, 2006

If you’re a fan of the MTV cartoon, yes the movie did not follow the cartoons faithfully. But they got most of the basics right.

Charlize Theron is a hot babe alright! The change to black hair looks good on her and the outfits look great on her especially the black ones. I particularly admired the aerial shot taken of her in the black dress with the gorgeous slit and the boob netting.

Okay, back to the story. The first few minutes were a bit of a bore for some of the audience (there were some people asleep beside and around me) but there was definitely more meat to the story of the movie than there has been in all of the cartoon episodes I ever saw.

For  one, here a clear reason for the fight was given. I also liked that a clear explanation of what the ongoing experiments were, what really happened when the original virus struck, as well as what’s between Aeon and Trevor Goodchild. I love the scientific aspect explained so beautifully and simply.

Of course the fight scenes were also well thought out, if a bit excessive with the tumbling. Funny though for me is how again, a Jurassic Part line came through. The line you ask? It’s ” nature finds a way”.

Watch the movie! It’s good!
