Aeon Flux
I guess if we paid attention to the signs we could have guessed that Aeon Flux was not going to be the best adaptation out there. First off, neither the trailers nor the clips took many chances on showing dialogue from the film and the dialogue that was risked sounded bad. Hmmm, not good.
Then news came that Paramount had cancelled early review screenings for the film in what looked like an attempt to avoid early negative reviews. However, now that the film is out what do people think?
Aeon Flux Review Buzz
I have only received a few reviews from readers in my inbox [more like quick messages] and they give Aeon Flux a 'mediocre' at best. I found the trend interesting and decided to dig around for a film site that has actually seen the film. One such site just happened to be FilmJerk:
“Aeon Flux” is the type of lazy sci-fi blockbuster filmmaking that normally only rears its head on basic cable. While fun to watch Charlize Theron prance around in spandex, the film is a chore to sit through. And if you’re not already a fan of the series, the film will be a complete snooze.
“Aeon Flux” goes through the blockbuster storytelling motions for the climax, but what exactly is it paying off? This is such a goofball production that the only way it could’ve ended appropriately is for Kusama to jump in front of the camera at the end and apologize for taking on a massive production that she obviously couldn’t juggle.
My Rating: D
Ok, so that seems to be close to the general consensus; which is not very good. For the entire review, head over to FilmJerk.
