Action Packed Sci-Fi

This movie is a definite must buy. Since purchasing, its already been watched twice. If you like Sci-Fi and the idea of a so called utopia this movie is for you. April 26, 2008

A real action heroine

Should you be someone who likes female action heros who are real pleasing to the eye, this movie will be a treat for you. The costumes worn by the actors to depict the era of the movie is most interesting. This movie is entertaining and the plot is not bad at all. I do not regret purchasing this DVD. I have watched it quite a few times. Anyone who likes the movie Equilibrium may find Aeon Flux worth watching. April 7, 2008

Given a chance it's not a bad film, at all.

To make a film out of a series of short animated episodes, little better than running gags for the most part, is no mean feat if a horrible parody of the original is to be avoided. I haven't seen it, aside from a few clips, but I'm pretty sure that Tank Girl is a a good example of what can happen.

The acting is very acceptable for the genre. The action sequences are spectacular, but are too numerous and simply act as a crutch for the drama. The sets including Berlin locations are excellent. And the plot is actually very good if its more philosophical aspects could have been brought more the fore to dramatically support a story that is a development of a myriad of snippets from the animations to at least make a story from, remain reasonably suggestive of the animations, for those who have seen the animations, but which have no such storyline, as such.

If failings have to be attributed, it is simply that no clear decision was made about who is the audience for this film. Simply hung on the action, as were the animations for the most part, would have been relentlessly tedious at this length of a film. And to approach it from a dramatic development of the plot, would have demanded a degree of dramatisation well beyond the maker's commitment and/or capability. Ridiculous as it may seem, you would need a dramatist of the capability of Harold Pinter to achieve a worthwhile result, and retain a degree of humour. Sharp Cut: Harold Pinter's Screenplays and the Artistic Process

There's a good film in Aeon Flux, and by not dwelling too much on its shortcomings, is worth a number of viewings. It's a grower :-)

Flux: How do you find the modifications?
Scafandra: Handy.

I bought this hddvd just because of the great picture and sound on hddvd.The movie is just ok ,the story is not good at all.If this movie had a better story it might have gotten 4 stars.If you dont care so much for sound and picture stay away from this movie.Even if the price is low,this movie is not worth more than 5 dollars.
