Aeon Flux

Strange, isn't it, how "Flux" rhymes with "sucks," and that's exactly what this movie does. As a former fan of the cartoon, I can understand how compressing numerous episodes of a lengthy and sometimes confusing storyline into a single, four-hour (that's how long the torture seemed to last) film would prove difficult. Also, I understand the difficulty of determining the proper setting and populating it with the most interesting characters. Therefore, I give accolades for such attempts—wait, did these guys attempt any of that? The movie speaks for itself… with a resounding "No."
Charlise Theron has never been a reliable action film heroine. She proves that ineptitude once again. The stuntwork was incredibly bad, reminding me of Carradine in the old "Kung Fu" series. But at least there was balance: Theron struggled with the dramatic aspects of her role, as well. Thankfully for her, she was not alone, as all parts were poorly written, poorly cast, and poorly acted.
Don’t waste time on this one, unless you ate some bad fish and want to get the trauma over with post-haste. Here’s a summary: bad story, bad cinematography, bad stunts/action, bad acting, and bad directing. I feel like over an hour of my life was taken from me under fraudulent pretenses. Seriously, the cartoon series is available on DVD; don't watch this before the series… or after for that matter. 1 outta 10.
