But the tragedy happens before we know anything about either Aeon or Una! There’s no emotional attachment this way.
Take Aeon’s sister Una ( Amelia Warner): we see her in a scene talking with Aeon (one of the least inspired and worst acted dialogues I’ve seen recently) before tragically dying to provide some motivation for the protagonist. So, the world is neither presented nor well developed, and the characters are also bidimensional. Here’s one of the issues I have with this movie: all these things are told to us the viewers in two minutes but could have been introduced in a much more interesting way by showing things on screen, rather than with some cold exposition. Soon after, here’s the mission she was waiting for: to kill President Trevor Goodchild ( Marton Csokas). Then we get acquainted with the protagonist, Aeon ( Charlize Theron), who is herself a Monican and performs incredible missions having extraordinary athletic skills. Only one family (the Goodchild) has reigned for all these years and there are rebels who want to take power, the Monicans, since the regime is dictatorial and many people have recently disappeared without a trace. 400 years later, the five million people left are living in a stronghold called Bregna surrounded by a world where nature is thriving. Here’s the plot: some introductory explanations inform us that in 2011 a virus killed 99% of the world population (fortunately Covid-19 was not so efficient). I’m saying this because what you will read about the film is based solely on what the film itself communicated to me. The MTV signal didn’t reach my house so I missed all the cool things that aired in the nineties.
#AEON FLUX MOVIE TRAILER SERIES#
Let me say straight away that I haven’t seen the Peter Chung animated series on which the film is based and which aired on MTV from 1991 to 1995. Aeon Flux is a 2005 film directed by Karyn Kusama and starring Charlize Theron.
