01/18/06 Aeon Flux

Aeon Flux (2005), directed by Karyn Kusama

watched w/ Leslie; theater (Blue Ridge Cinema, Raleigh, NC)

Aeon Flux had always been one of the craziest, grossest, and controversial cartoons of my early heyday. Who didn't love MTV's old Liquid Television staple, with her ridiculously skimpy attire & wild futuristic acrobatics? Albeit hard to top, this exciting film did deliver with good special effects that stayed as true to the cartoon as humanly (CGI) possible. Plus, Charlize Theron in those same skimpy outfits ain't bad either.

4 out of 5 stars
