i'm a vault, baby, locked down

I just watched Aeon Flux last night. SPOILER ALERT, don't read on if you are interested in watching the movie and don't want to hear what happens.

During the movie, I said to my friend, "on a scale from 1 to ridiculous, this movie is fucking ridiculous." There are just so many parts in it that blow my mind. I haven't seen the MTV Aeon Flux cartoons, so maybe that might have something to do with it. One thing, Charlize Theron is absolutely beautiful. Now that we've got that down, let's move on the the absurd parts. Let's start out with her ecstacy pill induced communication system. What is the pill for when she can later on rip her skin and push some buttons and go to the white room? What is up with the woman with the feet hands? One of the characters has hands in the place of her feet. They were pretty manly hands at that. I can't believe how many necks broke in that movie. And my friend and I laughed everytime that DNA keeper guy was on screen. The basic premise of the movie is that a disease wiped out all the Earth's population except for one city where this guy created a cure. The problem is that the cure made people sterile, so the people of the city are unknowingly cloned to keep the race alive. It gave me a Matrix vibe, people living without knowing about something deeper going on. All in all, it was a pretty bad movie, I definitely expected more from it.

    i think you can pretty much assume the movie was going to be bad when it's not an indie movie and it still gets limited marketing support and is released on so few screens.

    this is charlize's catwoman. maybe she'll win a razzie just like halle berry. both did bad movies after winning an oscar too.

    she probably did that movie for the paycheck.
