Yes I did know that this wasn’t supposed to be very good. I decided to go see it anyway. I figured that maybe it’d have a crap storyline but be cool to watch, you know like Equilibrium. But no. Not cool to watch. No cool plot. No cool characters. :sigh:
The :yawn: plot: In 2011 99% of the population die off cause of some disease. One great man comes along and develops a vaccine, and the rest of the population live in one city, walled off from the rest of the world. This man’s decendents run the world, what little of it is still left, but there are those who see the problems in this utopia and are out to stop it. One of these “freedom fighters” is Aeon Flux.
Okay, so is some cool stuff. The costumes look weird and pretty. A lot of the technology is interesting, I liked the ingestible messages. They were cool.
But for the rest, yawn, yawn, yawn. Predictable, boring and totally unoriginal. I hope the cartoon was better, cause if not why on earth did people watch it.
Also, can someone explain why everyone had unusual names, even Una was pronounced a “bit foreign” apart from Trevor. I mean, I’ve nothing against Trevor as a name, but in a world of Aeons, Orens, Sithandras and Inaris?
As for the acting? Well dire would be an accurate description. Never once did you see any emotion. I think they must have realised what a crap film they were in and given up. Only explanation.
