In the 25th century, the Earth's population has dwindled to a surviving five million following a devastating virus that almost resulted in the extinction of all human life 400 years earlier. Confined to one city-state, a group of rebels, led by Handler (Frances McDormand), seeks to destroy the oppressive government -- first, by assassinating a high-ranking chairman (Marton Csokas). Tasked with this mission, Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron) must integrate herself in a world of deceit and mystery.

Critics Consensus

Aeon Flux lacks the gravity-defying pace of its animated predecessor, and, despite some flash, is largely a dull affair.

A slick-looking action movie with too much exposition and a weighty, pretentious tone.

An effort that's somehow both depressing and trivial.

It's made with some style, but flags after the first rip-roaring action moments.

1.5/4

An impersonal slab of sci-fi sameness, Aeon Flux wears its lethargy like a badge of honor.

... is more interested in borrowing the name than telling an appropriate story, suffering by trying to appeal to the broadest audience instead of its established base and growing from there.

2/5

Aeon Flux takes what had been a rather well-received animated science-fiction show and turns it into a curiously dull & tedious live-action big-screen outing.

I recently watched this movie, and I have to give it a full 5 stars! Charlize absolutely shines as an actress—her performance is captivating, powerful, and effortlessly draws you into the story. The movie itself was incredible, with stunning action sequences and a gripping plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. What really stood out to me was how the film gave off subtle Matrix vibes, but in a fresh and exciting way. The sleek visuals, mind-bending moments, and stylish fight choreography made it feel like a modern take on that kind of cinematic experience, without ever feeling like a copy. It was thrilling from start to finish, and I can’t recommend it enough!

Filme: AEON FLUX Assistido: 19-11-25 Elenco: @charlizeafrica @charlie91bea @marton_csokas @sophieokonedofp @jonnymiller @carolinechikezie Modelo: #ficção #artesmarciais Duração: 1H 33m Ano: 2005 Minha opinião: Uma ficção com Charlize que gosta do genero, Atômica, MAd Max, Old Guard, Hancock. Em um Mundo que se 2400 anos para frente. Onde a humanidade vive em uma redoma tendo que viver de uma forma ditatorial. E existe um grupo que deseja liberdade. Aí temos Aeon e Freya que recebem a ordem de matar o presidente. Mas quando Aeon vai e o encontra memorias chegam para ela. E descobre que a raça humana vive de inseminação artificial das mesmas pessoas, pois a humanidade estava esteril. E o presidente Trevor buscando a cura já a 7 gerações, que eles vencedo inseminados. E agora que raça humana esta conseguindo reproduzir novamente Oren o irmão do presidente vem eliminando as pessoas, pois não deseja que as coisas mudem. Aeon descobre que era o grande amor do presidente em outras eras. Vale apena assistir?: Cenas de lutas e acrobacias muito bem feitas. a parte do jardim, bem reproduzida. Mas um CGI que deixa desejar. Nota: 5

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
