Negative Positive
Title: Nothing Special.
Review: I was a fan of the animated series, Aeon Flux. I loved its quirky and bizzare storylines and characters. When I heard about Charlize Theron playing the lead in this film, I knew it wasn't a good sign. When I heard that a director with ONE feature film behind her was attached to this, I knew it wasn't a good sign.I could mention the production designer, costume designer, etc. also, but really it was the script and direction OR the studio that ruined this film.This film was what you could call "Sci-Fi Lite" even though the studio tried to market it as an action thriller with a formulaic movie trailer that did absolutely nothing but misrepresent the film.In the end the action scenes are poorly photographed and seem to be edited to hide a profound lack of... action. The story is flat and any resemblance to the original series is painfully absent.
