Synopsis

Æon Flux is a mysterious and amoral secret agent from the country of Monica. Her motives or background are left unexplained, as are those of her antagonist/love, Trevor Goodchild. On her missions, she deals swift, bloody "justice" to all that oppose her. The second season episodes of this series were unique in that Aeon died at the end of every single episode.

Ole Sandbaek Joergensen Very different from the film with starred a very beautiful Charlize Theron in this tight fitting outfit, in this she is not this super assassin, she is clumsy and always end up in a situation where she is killed more or less. This is a really strange universe, where a lot of people are getting killed, but for a purpose no one has really defined.First season is only on episode, one weird and fast introduction to the universe and the girl, a rather violent and bloody scenery.Second season is a set of 5 small episodes, each 5-6 minutes, here Aeon is clumsy, tot he spy we want her to be, she dies in every small episode and it just becomes more and more abstract and sensual.Third season consist of 10 episode lasting about 22 minutes each, this is somewhat the final form of the series, still more sensual and different then all else, lots of violence, blood, shooting and strange scenarios.
jimihydrox Seriously, I challenge the writer to come up with a plot that goes from point A to point B without making pretentious pseudo-philosophical nonsense or portraying a cartoon woman's feet in a fetishistic manner. He can't seem to do it. In a world with anatomically challenged mutant aliens that somehow manage to become humanity's next great leap in evolution, I wouldn't think it's all that difficult. In all earnestness, the aliens turning into humanity's next stage of evolution doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Humanity has had a torso for the whole of it's myriad of forms, from Chimp to Homo Erectus, it's torsos for all. I don't see how we can evolve without them. Also the episode where Aeon Flux kept on going back to the sticky table with the grey mystery ooze made no sense. How did that kid know who that baby mutated into? I couldn't identify my own kid in a photo line up up you showed me several other pictures of babies, so how does a prepubescent kid know just by a single glance? Another example, the episode where Aeon seduces an amputee for no apparent reason. Why does this amputee trust this woman? Wasn't he looking for someone else? Did he just see Aeon Flux and just decide "Oh well, good enough. Never mind the fact that my lover is trapped in prison and probably dead, I better help this stranger escape from a high security facility," Yet another of my complaints, don't worry, I'm not just gonna harp on the myriad of plot holes, is the horrendous art. The art looks like something I would have fever dreamed and the malformed, hideous, and uncanny valley residing characters emote and move roughly on the same level as a Chucky Cheese animatronics. The main complaint I have is that it talks a big, smart game, yet has all the wit and subtlety of a shovel to the knees. Simply put, if you remove the pseudo philosophy, the foot obsession, and the skimpy outfits that Aeon wears (by the way, the way she is drawn makes me want to swear off women altogether) you are left with an unintelligible and incomprehensible mess. I've had hallucinogenic benders that have made better sense.Don't watch Aeon Flux, unless you want to make fun of it mercilessly or you like reading the Marquis De Sade way too much.
luckygman1970 This cartoon series has no beginning no end and no soul. There are no good guys, no bad guys. There is no rooting for anyone or anything, except for Peter Chung to make more. It is masterfully drawn and its minimalist style speaks volumes. I personally fell in love with A. F. because of the 'shorts', where the *SPOILER* heroine actually dies and the dialogue is non-existent. In the cartoon series there is more dialogue sometimes more than necessary. By the way it is so hard to call this a 'series'. The episodes have nothing to do with each other at all. They are all very different. I think this is exactly what the creator/director had in mind. The episodes are so different that if someone was to tell me that these A. F. episodes are a collection from different series, I would sooner believe that instead of it being a series of its own.
sarastro7 I watched about half of the Aeon Flux TV series in preparation for the live action movie starring Charlize Theron (still unreleased as of this writing). It was not what I expected. I thought it was some kind of anime, but it's an edgy, ugly and frankly freakish show set in a future where cloning and other technologies have transformed people into cyber-freaks.While I don't care much for the somewhat kinky style in which it is drawn, and while there isn't much in the way of a coherent story (the thing about Aeon dying at the end of every episode is just silly), the show does contain many really good ideas and many visually exciting elements. I am definitely looking forward to seeing what they do with this in the live action movie. If they carry over some of the freakish transhuman content, the movie could be pretty intense. I do hope they couple it all with a good story that ties it all together.My rating: 5 out of 10.
