Between bouts of gun fights and acrobatics, "Aeon Flux" is a dreadfully boring and incomprehensible mess with a screenplay that constantly jumps between clunky to just plain embarrassing...

There isn't a hint of the actress who earned her Oscar for Monster in this blank performance.

a live-action feature that captures all too depressingly the original TV cartoon's evolution from inventive weirdfest to a more run-of-the-mill brand of dystopian cyberpunk.

Between Charlize's skimpy, spandex outfits and the equally-sparse, angular modernistic architecture this readily digestible, if implausible sci-fi adventure is laced with enough surprises to keep you engaged throughout.

The 15-year-old MTV cartoon on which it is based must be better than this.

The camera drools over each titilating catfight and gazelle-like leap.

The telling of this story is rather dull and lifeless; the film is full of rote combat sequences and no real sense of danger or adventure.

A slick-looking action movie with too much exposition and a weighty, pretentious tone.

Sometimes the film looks a little silly and the high hopes we had of talented director Karyn Kusama of Girlfight fame, are not realised. The end result is a film that verges on boring.

It's made with some style, but flags after the first rip-roaring action moments.

Theron looks terrific and the cast do the best they can with the material they're given, but someone really should have written Aeon a snappy comeback or two.
