Æon Flux movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: Ten years ago, Chung's animated Aeon Flux was groundbreaking, inspirational. It still is. Maybe another spin through Chung's Flux DVD set will wipe away all memory of its middling live-action cousin. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: Read more
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Paramount Pictures and MTV Films blatantly tried to keep the movie, which debuted Friday, away from critics to prevent opening-day reviews. For good reason. Hollywood suits didn't want anyone to know how utterly boring the movie is. Read more
Tasha Robinson, AV Club: A slick-looking action movie with too much exposition and a weighty, pretentious tone. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Thanksgiving is over, but those gluttons still hungry for turkey should enjoy picking at the carcass of Aeon Flux. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Theron plays Aeon as a reluctant cipher who yearns to get back to a real existence. By the end, you'll know the feeling. Read more
Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News: There's no way to say it but to come right out with it: Aeon Flux is a good movie. Actually, it's a really good movie. Read more
Mark Olsen, L.A. Weekly: It probably looked like a good idea on paper. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: A failure even on the action-adventure/vicarious-butt-kicking level. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: The picture climaxes with the crashing of a blimp, an image that encapsulates the Hindenburg scale of its failure. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: In the dystopian future, apparently, women will be bendable Barbies in leather scanties, and everyone will speak like brain-dead robots. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's not terrible. It's not so bad that it's fun. Aeon Flux doesn't rhyme with 'flux.' It's just watchably bad, which is no reason to watch it at all. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Although it would be difficult to laud this movie as being anything stronger than mediocre, it is superior to what one would reasonably expect from something Paramount was trying to keep under wraps. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: One would figure, after 400 years of bad action movies, that leaders would learn: If a woman comes at you dressed in a tight jumpsuit, duck. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: Folks, I'll never understand studios. Aeon Flux is not that terrible. It's certainly more fun than a lot of films that get lovingly showcased. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: 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. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Kusama seems to spend most of her energy rendering Theron in perfect poses and lighting schemes. Read more
