Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

Theron plays Aeon as a reluctant cipher who yearns to get back to a real existence. By the end, you'll know the feeling.

Aeon Flux is best appreciated for the costumes, the sets and Charlize Theron's haughty athleticism.

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

Kusama seems to spend most of her energy rendering Theron in perfect poses and lighting schemes.

Thanksgiving is over, but those gluttons still hungry for turkey should enjoy picking at the carcass of Aeon Flux.

Michael Atkinson Village Voice (Top Critic)

The enormous, and probably impossible, amount of style and wit required to resuscitate the original cartoon into something with real faces, bodies, gravity, and locations is beyond Kusama.

In the dystopian future, apparently, women will be bendable Barbies in leather scanties, and everyone will speak like brain-dead robots.

There's no way to say it but to come right out with it: Aeon Flux is a good movie. Actually, it's a really good movie.

Ten years ago, Chung's animated Aeon Flux was groundbreaking, inspirational. It still is. Maybe another spin through Chung's Flux DVD set will wipe away all memory of its middling live-action cousin.

We know it's the future because everyone has the most ridiculous hairdos.

Spectacularly silly.

Aeon Flux is by far the year's worst movie, a most dubious achievement.

It's not terrible. It's not so bad that it's fun. Aeon Flux doesn't rhyme with 'flux.' It's just watchably bad, which is no reason to watch it at all.

David Edelstein Slate (Top Critic)

Folks, I'll never understand studios. Aeon Flux is not that terrible. It's certainly more fun than a lot of films that get lovingly showcased.

Although it would be difficult to laud this movie as being anything stronger than mediocre, it is superior to what one would reasonably expect from something Paramount was trying to keep under wraps.

Michael Rechtshaffen Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

Simultaneously silly, ostentatious and terribly boring.

What is it that drives talented actresses to dive into a hot pile of cinematic crap soon after winning their first Oscar?

Even Theron's sexy catsuit acrobatics can't prevent boredom from setting in as the film's unimaginative production design and dull dialogue take precedence.

One would have expected something this cheesy to go direct-to-video %u2014 or at most to Showtime, on late at night.

Saxon Bullock Film4

stodgy and listless futuristic thriller that only ever echoes other cinematic sci-fi tomorrows.

Between bouts of gun fights and acrobatics, "Aeon Flux" is a dreadfully boring and incomprehensible mess with a screenplay that constantly jumps between clunky to just plain embarrassing...

There isn't a hint of the actress who earned her Oscar for Monster in this blank performance.

Anton Bitel Eye for Film

a live-action feature that captures all too depressingly the original TV cartoon's evolution from inventive weirdfest to a more run-of-the-mill brand of dystopian cyberpunk.
