Reviews

Sam Picked up the DVD series at the library, because I heard about it being a 90's cult series. Watched a few episodes, didn't like it, couldn't get myself to watch more of it. I feel this series sacrifices substance for style. Once you get beyond the pseudo-intellectual quotes, the strange futuristic setting and the obvious sexual tension, you are left with an incoherent mess. Perhaps it's just not my thing and I'm being too harsh, but be warned: this is not for everyone.Maybe back in the day Aeon Flux was groundbreaking for what it did. This was made during the pre-mainstream era of MTV, when they were still willing and able to do things outside of the box. I'm all for that, but that doesn't mean the results will automatically be good.
pjmartinau Aeon Flux is worth watching - even repeatedly for one good reason: it is very original, unlike the multitude of films out there that are simply copies of tired genres. It DOES NOT explain everything, and a lot of it you are left to guess or imagine for yourself - but this is part of it's appeal. The cartoon series are far more intriguing and absorbing than the insipid movie that was made. Having said that, it still leaves room for many areas that could have been developed, and they certainly could make a lot more than the eleven episodes that have been made so far. It also looks at a lot of relevant issues, and philosophy that is interwoven into each storyline. There is also plenty of action.
grendelkhan Like many people, I first discovered Aeon Flux in MTV's masterful Liquid Television, a compendium of cutting edge animation. The shorts stood out amongst a lofty crowd. the animation was slick, with visual influences from both Japanese anime and European sci-fi graphic novels. The plot was rather mysterious, but the whole was completely engaging.When the series came along, the intriguing nature of the shorts was expanded, although with some mixed results. We now had dialogue to help carry the story, and it was just as stylish as the visuals. Some stories were better than others, but all were at least interesting.The series was decidedly kinky, with fetish clothing and provocative behavior. It was definitely an adult cartoon, which was a welcome change. it's greatest weakness was also it's chief draw: style over substance. Given it's non-linear nature and obtuse story, the viewer was left to interpret the story for themselves. This made it challenging and interesting, but also occasionally off-putting. It could be somewhat repetitive, which is probably the chief reason it lasted only one season (aside from the cost). It stands as a monument to the end of MTV as a groundbreaking network, and is an obvious influence on cinematic work to follow, particularly the Matrix.The series is not for everyone, especially not children; but it is worth viewing for adults with an interest in animation, sci-fi, or challenging stories. The DVD makes it readily accessible and includes many fine features.
mitru Aeon Flux started as video shorts on Liquid Television. The DVD has 4 full length episodes, plus the original shorts. Each is a short story about our super sexy secret agent, and her trials and tribulations. Fun to watch, but I don't recommend purchasing. You can only watch Aeon Flux so many times before you're bored with it, as with most Mtv garbage. The anime was amazing, and the stories were clever. Aeon flux is a good 1 night rental.
