Aeon Flux
Firstly, I'll admit that I rented this film on the purely superficial and shallow basis that Charlize Theron looked brilliant in the promotional pics and trailers for this film. However, I have to say that it delivered purely as a film on its own.
STORYLINE The storyline is not bad at all. The film is basically, a post-apocalyptic femme fatale movie. We enter a world, known as Bregna which on the face of it is Utopia, a perfect society. The film takes place 400 years into the future and Bregna is what is left of the world after a virus wiped out ninety percent of the population. Now the world is regulated by a group of scientists who descend from the scientists who cured this virus - a bit far fetched, I know. However, all is not well in this society, and Charlize Theron, plays Aeon Flux, an assassin kitted up in gorgeously fitting tight leather, who works for a rebel group trying to avenge a set of mysterious deaths. I do not wish to ruin the film for you lot so that's all I'm telling you!.
SPECIAL EFFECTS The special effects are what make this film really stand out for me! There are some really beautiful and stunning scenes and the film starts with a brilliant one where we see the kick ass awesomeness of Aeon Flux, who's assassin-like skills are demonstrated by her ability to catch a fly with her eyelashes!!
CHARACTERS The main character of Aeon Flux and one of her sidekicks is developed quite well and their dialogue together is actually quite good but the peripheral characters lack the depth which could have made this film quite special.
SPECIAL FEATURES The special features on the DVD are not bad either! There are a fair few features, including an insight into the stunts and training the actors received and even an insight into the costumes!
SUMMARY I think that the film is pretty enjoyable on the whole. It's not a classic but it sure did keep me entertained for a couple of hours. Plus, did I mention that Charlize Theron looks stunning in this film?!
