In AEON FLUX, Charlize Theron stars in the title role. Aeon is a rebel assassin, sent to slay the ruler (Marton Csokas) of a dystopian regime. Her mission becomes complicated by unforseen circumstances that bring everything into question. This all takes place in the last city on Earth, after a plague has wiped out most of humanity.
As dystopian films go, this one isn't bad, and Ms. Theron has never looked better. The idea of a rebellion against futuristic overlords is certainly nothing new, but the story is intriguing, with several revelations and unique plot threads. There is some over-the-top technology and weaponry involved, but it is set 400 years in the future, so that's not a big issue. There's a ton of action. In fact, we barely get a chance to breathe between explosions, gun battles, and / or martial arts duels!
A super-fast-paced sci-fi thriller with just enough plot to hold it all together...
