If you are looking for deep thinking Science Fiction this is not the film for you. Go read a Heinlein, Card or Cherryh book, you will be happier. If you want to turn your brain off for a few minutes, this movie is a lot better than I imagined it would be. Charlize is beautiful. The action isn't half bad, and the special effects are really quite good. The story is... well it's not exactly literature, but as I said if that's what you are in the mood for, there are lots of great books out there.If you are standing at the video store asking yourself, Aeon Flux or UltraViolet? Rest assured Aeon Flux is your better choice. This film is not "Aliens" by a long shot, but it isn't half bad. Just turn off your brain and enjoy!
