【Aeon Flux: Charlize Theron Meets Philip K. Dick】
I'm gonna keep this short and sweet so as not to ruin anything for you.
The movie begins as Aeon voiceovers the society she lives in.
Apparantly most of the world was infected with a disease and only a small 1% or so were saved when a cure was found.
These 1% live in a small city, behind walls, and under watch.
Everything outside of those walls is overcome with nature.
They are the only living humans left and they only take up a small section of land.★★★★★
Aeon tells us she is one of the rebels.!!
They don't like the way the society is being run, or the way they are always being watched.
Although some people seemed slightly bored, I was fully entertained.
It did get a little slow at certain parts, but that was because things needed to be explained.
The plot was taken in many directions so you were never fully sure what was going on.***
I had never seen the associated MTV cartoon so I went into this with a clean slate.
Perhaps that is why I enjoyed it more than some of the other theater goers.
I guess if the show is just like the movie then you may already know the plot.
However, as one who hasn't seen the show, I didn't know what to expect at each plot turn.
The best way to enjoy this type of movie is not to focus on every little detail.
Enjoy the overall story, the overall action, and the overall special effects.
Don't sit there and try to over analyze it.
If you calm down, and just watch, it is enjoyable :)
I found it to be entertaining, exciting, and interesting.
I would love to watch it again.
At least this time I'll know when the blood is going to happen so I can avert my eyes!!
My favorite part of this movie was that (kind of like Matrix) there was a lot of different special futuristic things going on at every turn.
If you enjoy an action packed movie, or if you just like Charlize Theron, go see Aeon Flux today!!!
