Sounds absolutely fantastic.

I've been hunting for that cartoon everywhere, but honestly, I'm coming up empty. Even on the usual P2P sites, it’s basically impossible to track down. As for the movie, I just really hope it doesn't turn into another Tomb Raider situation—though, if I'm being real, I actually didn't hate that one. 😬 Look, having two decent ones is more than enough to get by, unless you're stuck watching something like Resident Evil, which would be a total disaster.

Honestly, after scrolling through those Google images, I’m starting to get a bad feeling that this whole thing is just going to end up looking like Resident Evil.

It’s an adaptation of an MTV cartoon. How bad could it possibly be?

Man, I’m looking at her in those high heels and just thinking... what a joke. It feels like such a cheap, forced way to try and manufacture some kind of fake sex appeal for female leads who are supposed to be out there sprinting and jumping through obstacles. Honestly, true sex appeal comes when a protagonist absolutely terrifies her enemies just by being cold, ruthless, and completely dominant (😳 oops, getting a bit carried away here 😛), not because she's rocking some stilettos. She's meant to be a badass, not some low-rent stripper. That's why, if nothing else, I'd say Tomb Raider actually works.

It kind of gives me Resident Evil vibes, though I honestly doubt it’ll turn out quite like that... looks like we might be stuck waiting for the trailer! Maybe they'll pair it with Fantastic Four, similar to how King Kong was released alongside WOTW (which, by the way, is a total dud)

Or—God forbid—you end up stuck watching Resident Evil.

A friend of mine just finished downloading it in a VHS rip.

I'll probably bug him to film it for me so I can bring it over to you...

I'm curious if anyone here knows anything about this movie? I've heard some whispers that it might actually be wild!

It stars Charlize Theron playing Aeon, or rather, "a mysterious and amoral secret agent."

p.s. I'm not sure if this thread was already opened—please don't be mad at me, I've been away on vacation at the beach for ages! :P

Well, I think we should turn this thread into our own little community hub! 😎

Seriously though, I just caught the trailer and now I am absolutely dying to know everything there is to know about this movie!!!

It seems like people haven't really heard the buzz about this movie yet! But honestly, every single person I've shown the trailer to immediately jumped onto the AMC website to check when it hits theaters here in the States! I mean, how could it be anything less than great with Charlize Theron taking the lead?

Here is a little more info on the film!

Watched this movie yesterday, and honestly? I haven't seen such a massive, big-budget pile of garbage in a long time.

I have this habit where I’ll sit through even the most mindless movies just to see them to the end, though I’ll admit I tend to fast-forward if things get truly unbearable.😬
Regarding Aeon Flux, sure, it’s pretty silly, but compared to the absolute garbage I’ve sat through over the last few years, it actually holds up quite well.

Pretty mediocre. Honestly, it’s some of the absolute trash I’ve sat through in a long time. It’s right up there with Tomb Raider in terms of quality.
