Terrible dialogue, badly shot action sequences, and mediocre special effects plague this hardly-ambitious sci-fi cash-in. The only reason people will see it is for Theron, and even she is a let-down.

The only reason people will see it is for Theron, and even she is a let-down. The plot has some interesting twists, and the ideas behind it are intriguing, but these are all Chung's work, not Kusama's. 'Keep off the grass."... I'd rather keep out of the theater. Get the DVD set instead.… Expand

Poorly scripted, poorly plotted, poorly acted and poorly made. In short a real disappointment.

When Ms. Flux and/or Sithandra(Sophie Okonedo) visit "The Handler", a POV shot might've helped the ridiculous way they access her seem less so. There also seems to be a caste system at work here. The black girl gets the silly appendages, the white girl gets the snappy line about, said silly appendages. "Aeon Flux" is a natural for "Mystery Science 3000".… Expand

So unoriginal, so derivative, Aeon Flux drains your faith in the human race. How many times have we seen a glossy, sexy suit on a heroine lost within an utterly incoherent plot?

How many times have we seen a glossy, sexy suit on a heroine lost within an utterly incoherent plot? The movie is ludicrous; the Resident Evil films come to mind, as does Underworld. That Theron chose this between such actual work as Monster and North is a disgrace; she and Oscar-caliber Halle Berry can choose whichever projects (and paychecks) they want, and they go with Catwoman and Aeon Flux. What discerning taste, ladies. People: please see this dreck for what it is, a shameless attempt by a corporation to repurpose a piece of dead content it owned, and a shameful, thoughtless check-cashing by Theron. Another entry in a year of winners from Hollywood.… Expand

Perhaps it was that I was never introduced to Aeon Flux previously that I disliked this movie so, because this flick is particularly bad.

From the mediocre acting to the pointless fight sequences, it just is NOT entertaining on any level, which really is a shame because I greatly enjoy science fiction related stories. Ohh well. My opinion is given. I do not reccomend, unless you yourself are an Aeon Flux fan. Aeon Flux sucks, Aeon Flux = Aeon Sux. I literally could think of these all day and still be far more entertained....yes I find this movie that bad.… Expand

Awful overall. The characters are wooden, the acting uninspired, and the plot decent at best. On the plus side, the special effects are good, and Charlize Theron is extremely hot in skin tight clothing.

My beloved MTV animated series that was short-lived and still one of the greatest cult classic shows of all time turned into a horrendous "Aeon"-like wannabe played by Charlize Theron. This film just really alienated the fans of the pop culture classic for good and with an action movie like this, I sorta fell asleep for like 10 minutes. Somewhere down the road in the future, I hope MTV could possibly thinking of a new idea to reboot the series. That would be so awesome! As for the Flux movie, save your money or rent it. I don't care, but this is one of the most ridiculous movies I've ever seen.… Expand

Aeon Flux is silly, boring, disappointing visually and lacks enough action along with an awful performance from Charlize Theron who at the time just won an Oscar. I give this film 4%.

I'm not sure if its appropriate to be writing a review for a movie I only watched for 10 minutes, but seeing as how its quality was the defining factor in only managing to last that long, I feel justified. The acting was awkward, dialogueI'm not sure if its appropriate to be writing a review for a movie I only watched for 10 minutes, but seeing as how its quality was the defining factor in only managing to last that long, I feel justified. The acting was awkward, dialogue also so. But primarily, nothing made sense. And I dont mean plot, I mean everything, from 400 years in the future and guards still carry guns and are horrible at guarding anything. That undercover rebels dress to stand out, and draw more attention than less to themselves by making out, then walking away. The premise of 99% of the world having been killed and all those left saved by Goodchild, and yet is more Big Brother than God. And the fact that daily poisons could hope to keep nature at bay. If you are going to take yourself so seriously, make sure you make sense.
The 1 point was for at least trying to have different fashion when compared to the modern day, something which is blatantly ignored far to much.… Expand

first of all aeon flux is a bobbling idiot that kills herself every eposide but the movie tries to make her some intelligent, Athletic, strong indepent woman that's a super spy that's trying to slove mysteries and become a hero that save the day. all in which aeon flux has never been this movie tries so hard to turn her into something that the character never was. aeon flux the character is a mute, i watched all of the anime aeon flux episodes after seeing this movie and did research as well the girl that has hands for feet doesn't exist in the show and Trevor Goodchild is portrayed as some misunderstood guy that's trying to help mankind and rebuild a city at the end all in which the character isn't at all. Trevor Goodchild is a psychopath that's egoistical and always trying to find something to gain even if he had to build machines and devices in someone so he can used as one of his pet projects. in the anime he's a flat out villain not a savior, bcuz the character doesn't care about the glory or fame. if he doesn't benefit from it for his own gain goodchild could care les so it got that wrong about the character as well. it really had nothing to do with aeon flux besides the name.… Expand
