Though not for everyone, the new movie version of AEON FLUX certainly doesn’t warrant the kind of scathing reviews it has been getting. It’s as if the critics were inconvenienced by the cancellation of press screenings and wanted revenge. Plot-wise, AEON FLUX is actually one of the most engaging science fiction films of recent years. Sure, it’s highly stylized and has action sequences with no rooting in reality, but remember, it IS BASED ON AN MTV ANIMATION SERIES. The storyline has much more depth than you’d expect based on the previews, and it really does take some often-used sci-fi concepts into a new direction. The film strays quite a bit from the source material, but then again the series was not known for consistency anyway. So, if you’re curious at all about the film, just GO SEE IT and pay no attention to the critics.
