I guess they're useful for climbing, but they sure look awkward when used for running. By the way, "fand" is a contraction for "feet-for-hand", an awkward surgical substitution that replaced Okonedo's character's feet with hands. What's left is a cold, distant, uninteresting story that features some semi-cool wire-aided gymnastic maneuvers displayed by a catsuit-clad Theron and her "fand"-equipped co-star, Sophie Okonedo.
Much in the same way that Stephen Sommers attempted to win us over us with frame after frame loaded with special effects wizardry in Van Helsing, the makers of Aeon Flux sap the film of all heart, warmth and human emotion replacing it with whiz-bang technical showmanship. How can something that features two Oscar winners and two Oscar nominees be so terrible? Blame must be placed squarely on the shoulders of director Karyn Kusama and screenwriters Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi who adapted Peter Chung's graphic novel of the same name.
AEON FLUX MOVIE TRAILER SOFTWARE
It's not so much that her acting is bad, as it is that the film more closely resembles something cut and pasted together by a hormonally charged 14-year old with a cheap software package, than it does a major motion picture company release. Oscar winner Charlize Theron suddenly finds herself in the company of such box office poison as Natalie Portman and Cameron Diaz with what might very well be one of the year's worst films. She's hanging in there somewhere between Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon. I even gave her a point for the fun and crafty The Italian Job of 2003. Charlize Theron had a fairly decent run going, dating back to the last couple of years with her Oscar win in 2003 for Monster and, most recently, her impassioned Josey Aimes in North Country. It's more a mental log than it is a physical scoresheet, but it helps me keep fairly good track of the "what have you done for me latelies" nonetheless.
Make a really poor movie and I'll deduct a point from your column. Make a good movie or have a brilliant performance and you'll get a point added to your total.
