Negative Positive
Title: Fan of the original series? Don't bother.
Review: At the heart of the animated series' genius was the tension between Trevor and Aeon, sworn enemies that can't stand to get enough of each other.This was almost completely ignored in favor of a moldy old mystery plot and a vacant love story.Instead of any tension (or anything that even remotely matches the cleverness of any one of the old episodes), you have the product of a couple of screenwriters who "wanted to give a Hollywood feel to the story" (to paraphrase them, actually) and a director who doesn't seem to know how keep an action movie exciting.Any incarnation of Aeon Fluz should be character-driven. Aside from maybe selling tickets with Charlize Theron's star-power, I'm not sure what the hell was driving this one.
