You've really captured Chung's strangely elliptic, compellingly obscure dialogue and mise-en-scene.

I think it more reflects his negatively skewed view of a culture than anything to do with the film itself. I personally love action films and I don't think that automatically makes me a dufus...

And many provided negative, though conflicting, reviews; as if they couldn’t all agree on why they didn’t like the film. Kieth Breese (Filmcritic.com) found the film “gorgeously surreal and vacuously arty.” According to Jami Bernard (New York Daily News), “in the dystopian future [of Aeon Flux], apparently, women will be bendable Barbies in leather scanties, and everyone will speak like brain-dead robots…a silly live-action movie.” Justin Chung (Variety.com) decided that Aeon Flux protrayed “the future [as] alternatively grim and hysterical…a spectacularly silly sci-fier.” A.O. Scott of the New York Times said that Aeon Flux was “flooded with colors and chilly effects [but was] drained of emotional interest, to say nothing of narrative coherence.” And, finally, William Arnold of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer called it “too somber and cerebral for the young action crowd.” Silly or too cerebral? What do you think?Nina Munteanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311070435293186699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-56620326364270089082008-05-20T09:02:00.000-07:002008-05-20T09:02:00.000-07:00Yeah, wasn't the animated series somethng else, ec...Yeah, wasn't the animated series somethng else, eclectic writer?
