A mockery of a very intelligent show

As a film student , the time comes along when you find something you truly love that you want to make into a film then suddenly some studio snatches it up. For me this was Aeon Flux, and after seeing it this weekend I am furious at the direction it went in.First the characters did not match persona's from the show , for example no way in hell do I remember the episode with Una, the translator being related to Aeon and more importantly being her sister! Second it seems to me no one making this movie ever watched the show , it felt like they watch a few trailers and then threw this film together. the story was incoherent and followed barely any plot line from any episode of this show.They touched on a few like the CLavius conspiracy and Siddahandtha with cloning but the movie was a total mess, Trevor wasn't even blonde and was never Aeon's husband , the character of Orion was never Trevor's brother but worked for him plus they did try to touch on the subject of the virus but not clearly enough. But the final cherry on the cake , was the fact that the director ended the film with Aeon and Trevor in a decade that resembled PRESENT DAY , that's when I went back to sleep because that pretty much show me no one even watched this show. To sum this all up , if you are a true Aeon Flux fan of the show do NOT GO SEE THIS MOVIE if you want to see some cool stunts and see Charlize in some skimpy clothes , this will be right up your alley

score 1/10
