4 words too many.
“Sucks” would have sufficed.
Does it really suck so bad that Charlize running around in that suit can not redeem it? Haven’t seen it so just asking…
part=party in “you have taken too much sinus medicine” world
Saw it on a flight from Denver to Oakland last month. Made me want to step outside…
And no… Charlize in spandix did not redeem this movie.
Mine:
Stupid cartoon makes stupid movie.
SB: living
in the past
I actually thought there were a few cool technical ideas and FX in that movie, it had a nice sense of camera movement, and I rarely pass up on hot women in tight suits.
Mind you, the plot, story, characterization – could suck medium-sized planets through coffee stirrers.
Seems to be the way of movies these days.
80 minutes of THE CHARLIZE is a wonderful thing. The movie itself? Craptacular. I watched the credits, and noticed that actus got executive producer credits. Coincidence?
Yes, unless you get some kind of kick from the hair. Spend about 5 minutes on the internet checking out topless pictures of her from 2 Days in the Valley instead. You’ll save yourself 75 minutes of pure lameness.
Ah yes, “Two Days”…
Now THERE was a catsuit, goddamn it. And a truly evil frail.
What’s not to like?
SB: easy
on the eyes
GO SEE FLIGHT 93.
I missed Aeon Flux somehow. I’m sort of sad I did.
But on the bright side, I did see Ultraviolet. That was a film so inept that not only did they have a circular firing squad, they had eight or nine of them. How cool is that?
Probably significantly less cool than my latest Amazon preorder—the widescreen, director’s cut of BloodRayne.
Sometimes the world annoys you, but then you remember that you we live in a world where I can say “widescreen, director’s cut of BloodRayne” without being arrested by the Suck Police.
…Yes, I know there is something seriously wrong with me.
It seemed to me that if they took about half the fabric budget for Charlize’s costume, and instead spent that money on generating additional explosions, leaving her outfit more skimpy, and the plot more boomy, Aeon would have been much better, and worth perhaps half the price of admission.
How about two words? Aeon Sux.
