Æon Flux: Rating: 1 star

In the far-distant future, where everyone wears sexy catsuits and has funny hair, there will rise a hero… a hero with funny hair who wears a sexy catsuit.

Don’t ask me what this movie’s actually about; I lost the thread of this plot less than halfway through, when the movie swung perceptibly from “stupid, but with good fight scenes and lots of futuristic eye candy” to “stupid, period, end of sentence”. I’m at a loss as to how an MTV movie could bag so many good actors (although I can kind of see why Sophie Okonedo took the part, because hands-for-feet = awesome). Maybe it was the highbrow cast that made this movie think it could be more than just a cheesy throwaway based on an MTV cartoon. I’m only giving this movie any points at all because of its visual style; other than that, it’s just a waste of good actors. And sexy catsuits. And funny hair.
