FBMR - Aeon Flux

I was going into this movie expecting it to be pure trash. It had a lot of work to do to win me over. I usually like to go to a movie with no expectations so that I’m a clean slate. Luckily for this movie (and the person who picked to go see it) it surpassed my severely low expectations. But please bear in mind that I still don’t think it was a great movie. It just wasn’t pure trash.

Some of the ideas and concepts were interesting, the effects were good, the story was pretty predictable. I spent an equal amount of time thinking both, “Oh that’s kinda neat.” and “Oh my goodness, do they think I’m a moron?” There are huge holes in the story, and a lot of stuff kinda went unexplained. Wait for the video, and then even for it to be a full-week rental.
