Gee, it took me an hour to realize that the woman behind model-monican AEon is the same as behind the scruffy felon in "Monster"! I even thought "Are there two Charlize Therons?"
Absolutely convincing in these diametrically opposed roles, she sets a new standard in fulfilling a true actor's vocation: being a vessel for visions. In a movie world more and more trading artistic skills and talent for butts and six-packs, Charlize Theron is a colorful torch in the dark, a firefly among punkies. And she's a belle, so we will surely see her again this decade.
Ah, well, AEon Flux is a sumptuous "sci-fi with a message", on par with "The Island", or the weaker bits of "Matrix", if there are any. You'll get a fair share of genre, if Charlize scampering around in tights is a not too distracting issue for you. So can anyone tell me what the point was? :)
Edit: Some months later i got used to the outfits, and found Aeon Flux a simply gorgeous flick. Communication via brain ticket. A stunner by all means. Highly recommended!
