Aeon Flux is a 2005 science fiction action film directed by Karyn Kusama and starring Charlize Theron, Frances McDormand, and Sophie Okonedo. The movie is based on the animated television series of the same name that aired on MTV in the early 1990s. The movie takes place in a dystopian future where a deadly virus has killed 99% of the Earth's population, leaving only a handful of people alive in the city of Bregna, which is ruled by a council led by Trevor Goodchild (Marton Csokas).

Charlize Theron plays the titular character, Aeon Flux, a highly skilled assassin who is part of a rebel group fighting against the council's oppressive rule. After a mission goes wrong and her sister is killed, Aeon begins to question her loyalty to the group and her mission. She soon discovers a conspiracy involving the council and Trevor Goodchild, which leads her on a dangerous journey to uncover the truth about her world and her own past.

Frances McDormand plays Handler, Aeon's mentor and guide in the world of espionage and assassination. Sophie Okonedo plays Sithandra, Aeon's fellow rebel and friend who also has her own personal reasons for fighting against the council.

The movie features impressive action sequences and visually stunning special effects, as well as a compelling story with twists and turns that keep the audience engaged. Theron delivers a strong performance as Aeon Flux, displaying both her physical abilities and her emotional range as her character goes through a personal transformation. McDormand and Okonedo also bring depth and complexity to their roles, adding to the movie's overall quality.

One of the movie's strengths is its world-building. The city of Bregna is a fascinating place, with its futuristic technology and stark, industrial aesthetic. The movie's vision of the future is both bleak and beautiful, and the costumes and set design are a treat for the eyes.

Another standout aspect of the movie is the relationship between Aeon and Trevor Goodchild. Their dynamic is complex and intriguing, with both characters having their own motivations and secrets. The tension between them drives much of the story and adds an emotional depth to the action-packed plot.

Overall, Aeon Flux is a compelling sci-fi action movie with a strong cast and impressive visuals. Its thought-provoking story and well-realized world make it an entertaining and engaging watch.

Aeon Flux is a 2005 science fiction movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.4 and a MetaScore of 36.
