Tasha Robinson
A slick-looking action movie with too much exposition and a weighty, pretentious tone.
Joshua Rothkopf
The performances are plastic...
Michael Atkinson
The enormous, and probably impossible, amount of style and wit required to resuscitate the original cartoon into something with real faces, bodies, gravity, and locations is beyond Kusama.
John Anderson
A failure even on the action-adventure/vicarious-butt-kicking level.
Mark Olsen
It probably looked like a good idea on paper.
Jami Bernard
In the dystopian future, apparently, women will be bendable Barbies in leather scanties, and everyone will speak like brain-dead robots.

Aeon Flux is best appreciated for the costumes, the sets and Charlize Theron's haughty athleticism.
User reviews

Neat and underrated flick I don't understand why people thought this movie was so bad. Charlize is lovely as usual and the movie is actually a pretty neat sci-fi dystopian story. I guess this is why people didn't like it. Anyway, I really enjoyed it. It's neat to see women directors make movies, especially slick sci-fi ones like this.
Creative, good story, true to the series I'm rare to jump to review a movie unless it is exceptionally good or bad or interesting. Aeon Flux movie took the challenge of adapting the brief TV series into a full film - and live action. It succeeded in having a better storyline, and even more visually interesting (if possible). Although it can easily serve as a standalone film, it does a service by a generous acknowledgement of the quirky storylines of the series. The acting is all that you ever need in a futuristic adventure; the cinematography is easy to follow; the sets, costumes, etc. are visually top-notch. Most futuristic films use darkness to help cover all the detail needed to convince people it's the 'future'. But this film advances to the ranks of the best science fiction films, in full color. Very exciting film. Unfortunately, there probably will never be a sequel, because there doesn't need to be one. But I'm hoping this same team would tackle other exceptional science fiction stories, such as Tadd Williams' Otherland, or something like that (I'm not very well versed in sci-fi genre). Enjoy!
I need my money back When I tried to download the movie. It says couldn't fetch..that's the third movie Google charge me for and I couldn't watch.
