"Aeon Flux" is based on Peter Chung's cult animated series from MTV. Charlize Theron stars in the title role, an assassin for the rebel Monicans. In this story, set in the far future, the human race has been mostly decimated by a plague. The city of Bregna is the last spot of civilization on the planet. It has the image of a utopian society, but in reality is a police state. Chairman Trevor Goodchild is in charge of Bregna, but the Monicans are trying to unseat him. The movie does have some interesting visuals and exciting action. But some fans of the original cartoon might not enjoy it. Some of the story twists might seem out of the blue, and the acting performances come off as wooden. All in all, the original animated series was better.
