laughable . clichéd . overdoses on style to compensate for poor writing . remember when mtv actually use to air music video and other show besides reality show . aeon flux ( 2005 ) be base upon one such show a cartoon from the mid 90 feature a superhuman female protagonist in black latex clothing . aeon and play by the lovely charlize theron in this adaptation and be a cold detach rebel who be as dexterous a a line dancer and as deadly a a viper snake . she need to be and if she expect to kick the ass of the totalitarian government . i love science fiction and but hate the sudden influx of half assed futuristic dystopian technology overdose film like the island ( 2005 ) and equilibrium ( 2002 ) ( bottom of the pile ) . aeon flux have all the problem that be present in these film and but amplify . that be and there be nothing original leave to show so they compensate for it with the sleek style that matrix ( 1999 ) catalyze . the special effect be therefore sensational in aeon flux which earn it a few point and but scratch the surface and there be literally nothing there . to make matter bad and all performance in this film be atrocious and some actually wound me to watch . charlize theron character aeon flux be interweave with the most cheesy tough chick schtick and it seem a though the director karyn kusama can not quite decide where to go with her next should she make her more detached or more emotional . she doesn not know . let go both way . imagine you take a shotgun and load it chock full of character development of different sort and there fire into a random mess . this be the character of aeon flux . the film aeon flux put forward all the amandatory idea in a dystopian society individual vs. society and nature vs. science and emotion vs. cold reason and etc . you have see all of this before and and good do at that . go read orwell and bradbury or huxley and or even watch logan run ( 1976 ) or blade runner ( 1982 ) . anything . avoid this viciously uninvolving cheese fest for as long a you can . negative .
