Æon Flux
June. 30,1991 PG-13Æon Flux is a mysterious and amoral secret agent from the country of Monica. Her motives or background are left unexplained, as are those of her antagonist/love, Trevor Goodchild. On her missions, she deals swift, bloody "justice" to all that oppose her. The second season episodes of this series were unique in that Aeon died at the end of every single episode.

Very disappointing...
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
It seems every child wants to write another 1984, even better. Previous experience is irrelevant. Intelligence optional. And the result is a video game experience of a movie or novel. Gattaca, Hunger Games, building the total state because every dim mind knows what others need. Bloodshed seems to be a mandatory ingredient. And attractive people that are ready to kill anybody in sight become moral because the audience would want to spend the night with the actor or someone like the drawn character. A sick masquerade of people pretending to be somebody else and pretending to look for some ideal while settling down for very mundane, even worthless aspects. Cheap escapism. And ugly drawings.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
Seriously, I challenge the writer to come up with a plot that goes from point A to point B without making pretentious pseudo-philosophical nonsense or portraying a cartoon woman's feet in a fetishistic manner. He can't seem to do it. In a world with anatomically challenged mutant aliens that somehow manage to become humanity's next great leap in evolution, I wouldn't think it's all that difficult. In all earnestness, the aliens turning into humanity's next stage of evolution doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Humanity has had a torso for the whole of it's myriad of forms, from Chimp to Homo Erectus, it's torsos for all. I don't see how we can evolve without them. Also the episode where Aeon Flux kept on going back to the sticky table with the grey mystery ooze made no sense. How did that kid know who that baby mutated into? I couldn't identify my own kid in a photo line up up you showed me several other pictures of babies, so how does a prepubescent kid know just by a single glance? Another example, the episode where Aeon seduces an amputee for no apparent reason. Why does this amputee trust this woman? Wasn't he looking for someone else? Did he just see Aeon Flux and just decide "Oh well, good enough. Never mind the fact that my lover is trapped in prison and probably dead, I better help this stranger escape from a high security facility," Yet another of my complaints, don't worry, I'm not just gonna harp on the myriad of plot holes, is the horrendous art. The art looks like something I would have fever dreamed and the malformed, hideous, and uncanny valley residing characters emote and move roughly on the same level as a Chucky Cheese animatronics. The main complaint I have is that it talks a big, smart game, yet has all the wit and subtlety of a shovel to the knees. Simply put, if you remove the pseudo philosophy, the foot obsession, and the skimpy outfits that Aeon wears (by the way, the way she is drawn makes me want to swear off women altogether) you are left with an unintelligible and incomprehensible mess. I've had hallucinogenic benders that have made better sense.Don't watch Aeon Flux, unless you want to make fun of it mercilessly or you like reading the Marquis De Sade way too much.
Very nicely said. i know there are people who are stupid not to know what it mean. The art is just so bizarre, yet unique, and thats why its a good show. A futuristic world, cloning people, and using high-tech gadgets is definitely a good sci-fi TV series. If only they had give more episodes. You have done a very good job making this summary for all those people. I hope other people will be able to see this unique TV series and be able to share our thoughts and feelings about this weird but good TV series. How old are you, how stupid are you, how idiotic are you? Lol, I'm just making this longer so i can submit this to you, i have nothing else to say. Anyways, i just want to say how you wrote this nicely written summary. LOLOL
I watched about half of the Aeon Flux TV series in preparation for the live action movie starring Charlize Theron (still unreleased as of this writing). It was not what I expected. I thought it was some kind of anime, but it's an edgy, ugly and frankly freakish show set in a future where cloning and other technologies have transformed people into cyber-freaks.While I don't care much for the somewhat kinky style in which it is drawn, and while there isn't much in the way of a coherent story (the thing about Aeon dying at the end of every episode is just silly), the show does contain many really good ideas and many visually exciting elements. I am definitely looking forward to seeing what they do with this in the live action movie. If they carry over some of the freakish transhuman content, the movie could be pretty intense. I do hope they couple it all with a good story that ties it all together.My rating: 5 out of 10.
