"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."  Eye for Film  Anton Bitel

"Despite impressive sets, a fine cast and some eye-popping special effects, this sci-fi action movie doesn't always work -- mostly because visual gimmicks overcome plot and character development."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

F
"I usually bypass puns based upon a film's title, but here I can't help myself: Aeon Flux is a flux-up of prodigious proportions."  FromTheBalcony  Bill Clark

D
"If you couldn't tell the difference between a Flux from an Aeon before you walk into the theater, be prepared to make this response to the picture: 'whaaa?'"  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

.5/4
"A thoroughly awful and unusually incoherent piece of work."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

4/10
"spektakularnost potro%u0161ena zbog MTV-jevskog stila monta%u017Ee koji gledateljima ne dozvoljava da shvate %u0161to se zapravo doga%u0111a na ekranu"  Index.hr  Dragan Antulov

1.5/4
"The waste of talent and money thrown into this cheesy, haphazard production should be a criminal offense the world over."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C
"The fact that a movie containing all of those elements could be as sterile and monotonous as this one is a wonder in itself."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

1.5/4
"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..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

1.5/4
"...sci-fi jolting gibberish. Did we already mention witnessing Theron in skin-hugging get-ups acting like a curvaceous contortionist experiencing PMS?"  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

F
"Flashy but incredibly dull...a real catastrophe, the cinematic equivalent of a tsunami."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2.5/4
"Although it would be difficult to laud this movie as being anything stronger than mediocre, it is superior to what one would reasonably expect from something Paramount was trying to keep under wraps."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2/5
"Dashingly beautiful but distressingly dumb."  FilmFocus  Joe Utichi

"Aeon Flux is gaudily glamorous and riotously witless. At the same time, it's kind of fun."  In the Dark  Jonathan F. Richards

3/5
"Aeon Flux is not a instant classic or a pants-wettingly exciting adaptation of a forgotten graphic novel, but it is also not a Catwomanesque career killer nor a wasted 93 minutes."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

0.5/5
"It was so uncomfortable to watch this film, I felt like I was desperately holding back a bout of extreme diarrhea while having dinner with my girlfriend's folks for the first time."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

2/5
"Aeon Flux es el último blockbuster de la esperada temporada navideña y resulta sin embargo, tan sólo un filme palomero de fin de semana."  Cinenganos  Luis Martinez

1.5/4
"This live-action cartoon tries to walk the line between pleasing the faithful and appealing to a broad-based action audience. It fails on both fronts."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

"This could have been, maybe, a rich and fascinating invented place to explore and hang out in, but instead it feels like exactly what it is: a bulls**t Hollywood excuse for science fiction."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

1.5/4
"The movie should have been called Aeon Sucks."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

B-
"This is one of those perfect on the outside-fascist on the inside societies where everything happens in huge, cavernous spaces for no particular reason except that it's a cool setting."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1/4
"An estrogen-energized companion piece to Michael Bay's The Island."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

.5/5
"Theron is fetching enough in her tight outfits, but utters each line like she just downed a handful of quaaludes."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

2/5
"Kusama (Girlfight) and her writers play it dead straight, and the result isn't nearly as much fun as it should be."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

1/5
"There isn't a hint of the actress who earned her Oscar for Monster in this blank performance."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

D
"Not even the sight of Theron in stylized bondage gear can atone for the muddled story, hackneyed action, and dulled-down effects."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

2/5
"It's as if someone just swept up the floor at the Sci-Fi Factory, and instead of tossing the junk into the garbage, they glued it together and called it a movie."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

4/10
"Are you really willing to pay full fare just to see Charlize Theron do backflips in skintight S&M outfits?"  Modamag.com  Susan Granger

1.5/4
"A hokey, post-apocalyptic jumble of clunky storytelling, tin-ear dialogue, and ineptly staged action sequences."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight
