Sounds cool. Might even watch in theater.

Charlize Theron is my only incentive for seeing it!

It looks a lot like Equilibrium, so I guess it could be pretty good.

That's what I was thinking. Only... the action in Equilibrium was poop in my opinion. ("OMG look him shooting those cops in the face while they just keep standing there!"

)

For some reason I don't think that the weirdness of Aeon Flux can be portrayed in a live-action format. I enjoyed the MTV animated version because of it's style, even thought I admittedly didn't know what the **** what has happenening 50% of the time. I'll pass for now.

i'd surely hope it is not as stupid/bad/horrible/crappy/silly/corney as it looks in the prieviews..

that preview had half the theater cracking up when we saw it. i highly doubt i'd be seeing that unless it somehow suprisingly turns out to be good.

Yeah.

Man, she looks so good as a brunette. Blonde's ok.

I have a feeling that the movie to going to try and make Aeon Flux a hollywood movie by destroying what made the MTV series so good: Ambiguity.

You never knew who was good or who was bad. Aeon was a terrorist who often used morally questionable means to reach her ends. You also never knew exactly who she worked for or with. Trevor Goodchild, while being smug and generally unlikeable, did create a world, that while created mass dependence on the government, did meet his people's needs and he felt justified in his actions.

Then there was the screaming mesomorphic baby that made time stop and people lose track of where and when they are...

They apparently aren't having screenings for critics to review the movie prior to it's release...

Which is never a good sign... It means they know it's a piece of crap that will get torn to shreds, so they want to avoid bad reviews for the opening weekend to get as much money as they can before it drops from the charts like an object of your choice falling at a speed which most people would agree on as being rather swift...

So if I were anyone, I wouldn't get my hopes up...

Canyarion · 12-01-2005, 05:08 PM

But people already saw it..... I thought reading that somewhere. Bah, never mind, perhaps I shouldn't see this.
