I loved the Matrix Reloaded and Aeon Flux. Yep, not just liked but loved Aeon Flux. It's a great piece of science fiction action/adventure. Admittedly the acting in the movie isn't really one of the strong suits. Charlize Theron is merely just okay as the title character and Sophie Okenedo, so great in her oscar nominated performance in Hotel Rwanda, is shockingly flat here. And the movie isn't without it's flaws (more development on the rebellion and in particular, Frances McDormand's character would have been nice). Still, despite it's flaws, Aeon Flux is exciting and smart science fiction. Midway through the movie there is an absolutely GREAT twis that I didn't see coming and made an already cool movie into a really fascinating and intriguing and even thought provoking one as well. This is the kind of science fiction movie I love. It contains ideas. Yes, there is action. But the ideas aren't used as window dressing for the action. It actually handles them really well and thoughtfully. Of coarse, the action sequences are thrilling and spectacular and the movie is directed with style. It's a visually stunning movie with some amazing art direction. In other words, it's everything you'd want in a science fiction futuristic fantasy action/adventure. The movie delivers in spades.
