Aeon Flux – not bad, but not great February 1, 2007

I know its been out for a while but it’s only very recently that I’ve had the chance to watch Aeon Flux. Effects, cinematography and acting are all respectable, but that’s not what this blog is about.

This blog is about SciFi.
(so if you’re looking for gardening you’re on the wrong site).

Aeon Flux is a decent SciFi flik. The premise of a post apocalyptic earth in some kind of rebellion is certainly not new but the film’s ‘twist’ is kind of neat. It’s too bad you’ve got to watch more than half of the movie before they finally get to the point of it though.

Having the inhabitants continually reborn as clones is a neat idea. It’s the kind of twist that SciFi must have – though in this film it’s the only real good plot idea that there actually is.

The movie did get me thinking about what else there is in the Aeon Flux world and there is plenty – well at least a comic book and an animated feature. I’ll check ’em out and report on them here soon.
