Aeon Flux is actually Entertaining! Don't Expect Much

A movie that refused critics screening or any press screening, while I'm not an actual critic to get critic screenings I still saw this movie on opening day anyway. I saw it the same day as "The Conformist". I have been waiting for this movie since grade school. Where the hell was this when I was in the 7th grade. This has been in talks for awhile, when I use to actually watch 'Aeon Flux" every Saturday morning on MTV double featured with morning cartoon shows on "MTV Oddities". They use to show this and 'The Head" afterwards, about a an alien using a guys head for a place to crash and he walks around with an enlarged head. That was good times. God, where the hell was this movie when the movie came up and I was so stoked that I came up with my versions of an Aeon Flux movie and it would star Angelina Jolie who I thought(and still now) was perfect for the part. Oh well, who cares the movie is out, rather Angelina Jolie and a less skimpy outfit we have Charlize Theron(who I think is an overrated actress, but hot) and the great Frances McDormand.
The movie is very forgettable, but not a waste time or something to kill time with. Someone said that you go a movie's qualities, and I gotta say it had its huge share and kept the ball rolling for sci -fi fans. Of course it takes place in the future where a society is taken out by a virus that kills 99 percent of the population. The survivors live in a dome city guarded off by the virus outside. In the dome is a utopian society but later is revealed it is dystopian(of course), the city is led by a Trevor Goodchild who is a scientist that runs the council, but there is an operative terrorist organization called Monicans that dislikes what Goodchild stands for. They believe that he is the reason why so many people are disappearing off the street and never seen again. While the society has its mystery, most survivors have memories still implanted in them from old lives. One of them is the most deadliest assassin of the Monicans, Aeon Flux...WORD!
After her sister is killed, the ball starts rolling and Aeon is assigned to kill Trevor Goodchild but backfires. Then it all unfolds into sci-fi action and a secret that gives the reason why the society manages to stay alive through time while being sterile. It's the by the numbers sci-fi utopian/dystopian society and one person that uncovers the truth. This time its a hot femme fatale, MY GIRL, AEON FLUX. I found the movie to be very intriguing at most parts and very entertaining at others. It got to the point quick and didn't waste any time, I didn't feel so that it dragged but it was flawed. And of course if you're gonna have super sci-fi extravaganza you gotta do it in style, and this movie had a lot of it. The one thing I do remember from the show that relates to me in the movie is the character "Cithandra", played by Sophie(Hotel Rwanda) Okenodo. I remember "Cithandra" at hands for feet and wore busty outfits. She looked like a sexy orangutan. The one thing I do love is how the Monicans contact each other with telepathy. Frances McDormand played the leader of the Monicans and gives the orders(she's also in another films with Charlize Theron, "North Country").
For a show, and this is starting out to be a comparison between the show and the movie, but for a show that feels like it's movie adaptation would be R rated. For a PG-13 it got pretty burly for that standard, I still fell like it should be R, but the director actually has a sense to make visceral action. I really didn't like the director's(Karyn Kusama) previous film "Girl Fight", but with this film she could be along the lines as a good female action director like Kathryn Bigelow. Or she could be spontaneous director that takes feminist film making to new heights with different genre films. It doesn't have to be feministic, but when the whole goes to hell I would want Aeon Flux on my side! This is Aliye Nyoka saying PEACE OUT!
