Totally unwatchable. Just terrible in every way you can possibly imagine. Not only a waste of a potentially fun concept, but chocked full off some the worst cinamatography you will ever see, as well as a mass of awful costume design and shite haircuts.

This film is garbage. Yes Charlize Theron is a gorgeous woman but frankly you don't have to watch pure trash in order to see that. Karyn Kusama has absolutely no knowledge of how to direct an action scene. All the rapid cuts can't hide the fact the action is so poorly shot you can tell everyone is faking it. Add to the fact the dialog and story behind this is absolutely terrible and you've got a film no one should ever watch on purpose.

Seems like the director was too busy gawking at Theron in her various tight outfits to worry about an interesting story. Saw this with a computer geek, who loved it, so apparently that's all you really need! Whilst she is pretty pretty, it doesn't cover up the fact that this story is a mix up of stolen ideas from far greater works of art: There's a bit of Dark City, 1984, Matrix - even Equilibrium - and I just feel ... wait. You never read beyond "Charlize Theron in tight outfits" did you?...

Didn't I write this in Junior High School?! ...I'd better go check my old notebooks, I might be able to sue someone.
I wouldn't have thought it possible to make a movie that couldn't be saved by sexy ladies in tight leather. Oh well!

I wanted to like it, but the somewhat cool visual style couldn't hope to make up for the ridiculous story with plot holes the size of Jupiter. Tragic that the wonderful cartoon didn't get a better big-screen adaptation.

Anyone who has watched Aeon Flux the entire way through is a survivor and should be treated with respect.

Ultraviolet's slightly cuter sister (movie-wise. Charlize blows Milla the fuck away in the looks department.)

What above all occupied the minds of the filmmakers was, very clearly, how best to calculate the "demographic" towards which this product is targeted. And yet, does this demographic actually exist? Score based on partial viewing (full viewing would in all likelihood result in an even lower score).

Action film that is derivative, boring and badly done to boot. No thrills unless you're competing for longest yawn.

A feminist propaganda, disguised as an action film. Notice when Aeon puts the semen-like liquid to heal the wounded man. This is supposed to be a reversal of gender roles, something Karyn Kusama knows a lot about with her manly face. In addition, notice the old decrepit man dressed in a phallic costume. This is supposed to show how men will have no 'virile power' once Kusama institutes her utopia of feminism. Also a disgrace to the cartoon's artist: he felt 'hopeless and sad' upon watching this.

OK, first I have to admit, I have liked Charlize for a long time. She has to be one of the hottest women I have ever seen. Those eyes are...amazing. I am blathering...on to the movie....Yeah...this movie was pretty sweet. The speceffects were pretty nice. Did I mention that C.Theron was in this, lol, and she is quite thermal! I am talking on a mercury scale: -F to 212F, she is steam!!!

Visually arresting, but thin on plot. The acting is sub-par, the dialogue is about as corny as you can get, and the "message" of the movie is laughable at best. If you can even find it in the first place.
