Flux won't make you sick, promise

Aeon Flux is an interesting post-apocalyptic flick with strong (if not breathtaking) visuals, decent acting, and a deep, if convoluted (and not necessarily coherent), plot. To be honest, I am not sure what the deal is, as it has tanked even further at Rotten Tomatoes, often a decent judge of films. For those who thought the previews were good, they were indicative of the film, and it is not one of those where they show only the best parts.

Flux was better than many of the last several years' big-budget sci-fi flix, including Van Helsing, Underworld and Hellboy. Sure, there were times where Theron looked a tad uncomfortable, but in no way did it sound like she was 'on 'ludes', as one of the Tomatoes reviewers put it. Although I have to say I thought she looked hotter
in The Italian Job.

Most of my friends like similar movies (at least in this genre) as I do. For those into the genre, don't go to Flux and expect a masterpiece. However, don't listen to the hype of how bad it is supposed to be either. It is a solid piece of entertaining filmmaking. Lots of interesting outfits, kung fu style fight scenes, and at the end, a fairly cool gun battle.
