Advantages: Decent enough in places; Theron's wardrobe! Disadvantages: No oomph at all; more like an episode of a TV series than a film
I've been putting off watching Aeon Flux for a while, although I'm not too sure why. It probably had something to do with the negative feedback it gained after promising so much. Adapted from a sci-fi series in the early 1990s and starring Charlize Theron, who is usually on fire on screen, I was surprised when it got slated, but last night, with the wife round at a friend's house and son William tucked up in bed, I thought I'd give it a go.

I have used this company for the past four years however upto now it has just been get a quote and pay a premium.
Now I have encoutered a major problem with regarding ...
What the flux went on here?
When i went to the cinema to watch this, i was quite excited. Charlize Theron for a start, doing acrobatics in a tight leather outfit, a futuristic fantasy utopia with a disenchanted leader (Trevor Goodchild). Yes it sounds much the same as many other films in the genre, but they are generally ok aswell.
From the start i could feel that it wasn't going to be the best film i had seen all year, not by a long shot.
The story follows Aeon Flux, a member of a rebel group named the 'Monicans' in the city of 'Bregna'. Her sister is kidnapped and killed by the ruling factor of Earth's last remaining city.
