Aeon Flux (2005)

In 7 words or less: The future makes no sense.....at all

What's it all About? I honestly have no idea. With that in mind I'll just use IMDB's summary. 'Aeon Flux is a mysterious assassin working for the Monicans, a group of rebels trying to overthrow the government. When she is sent on a mission to kill the Chairman, a whole new mystery is found.' Hhmm, it really wasn't that simple when I watched it that's for sure.

Best bits? Pass

There's something in your eye

Did it make you think thoughts? Yeah, the main one being I that I was sure the detestable Cutthroat Island would be the worst film I watched this year. How wrong I was. Look, I like a good sci-fi flick but this was just a mash up of futuristic hoodoo wrapped up in a cheap suit of conspiracy tales and mind numbing confusion. I think it was trying to be surreal, prophetic and action packed all at the same time. Trying to clever in other words. All it did though was make me scratch my head (not because I have head lice) and consider the meetings where execs and producers thought, 'This will be great'. I'm sure that can't have happened. It also features another stellar piece of miscasting for the usually delicious Charlize Theron.

Oh yeah, there's a woman with hands for feet. Go figure.

This is what they wear in the future don't you know

Would you watch it again? Thrice time no

Rating (out of 100%): If you're a bad film, chances are I will watch you and maybe even like you for your rubbishness. If you're a bad film that makes no sense, you're doomed for a low Slumpy score. With that in mind I give Aeon Flux a dismal 4%
