Staying Positive: Aeon Flux

by Adam Thas

Growing up in the '90s, I was a fan of the Aeon Flux cartoon (even if only lasted one season). It was weird, had a lot of action, and was a very interesting bridge between American and Asian animation styles. I loved it. So when I found out 10 years later that a live action version was going to be released, I was of course ecstatic. Aeon Flux disappointed. It just didn’t feel right and didn’t have the strangeness that the cartoon had. Even the beautiful Charlize Theron couldn’t save it for me. Critics hated it, I hated it, and creator Peter Chung hated it. So let’s travel 400 years into the future and save humanity by staying positive with 2005’s Aeon Flux.

Riske Business: The Lone Ranger is Vastly Underrated
