I went to see AEON FLUX at the cinema last night. It was quite a stylish film, in a kitch kinda way, but it was pretty rubbish.
Charize Theron was totally not right for the part. Aeon is supposed to be a highly trained assasin, but Theron looks weak and moves like she’s never done a days exercise in her life. She’s gangly, like a foal. On occasion, when stationary, she looks kinda iconic, but when she moves she looks like a slob whose had liposuction.
In my opinion, they should have used someone like Jennifer Garner, a babe who looks like she can kick your ass.
In my opinion, you would be better saving your cinema money and putting in towards the price of the animated series!

Yeah I remember when I saw the preview, I raised an eyebrow at the casting choice. I don’t mean to insult Charlize Theron, but this hardly seemed like the role for her. I’ll probably rent this anyway … for the story and character development of course …
Jennifer Garner is quite attractive. They probably didn’t user her because she was pregnant.
I have not seen the flick yet, but my impression of casting Theron is similar to yours. However, very few could pull off being Aeon.
