Fluxx Movie Reviews

Ah, the weirdness found in snips and snaps from the old "MTV Liquid Television" days..."Aeon Flux" was easily the most inspired efforts from those brilliantly twisted pseudo-underground types back in the day...and thanks to Peter Chung's latter day successes with the "Matriculated" episode from "The Animatrix" and the "Reign: The Conqueror" series, maybe those who weren't on board during the era when grunge was king will give these earlier made-for-basic-cable exercises in sex (such as it was) and violence (as it always is) another look.

This was my informal introduction to anime, and although it lacks most of the essential elements of the genre, I still feel "Aeon Flux" better captures its finest qualities, so much so that more often than not I find myself drawn away from the round-faced, big watery-eyed (and dog-whistley high-pitched female voices) of most anime artists even now.

Most anime purists for some reason don't rate this at all (for what anyone else's opinions are worth), but I've never understood WHY...it's got the elements of every decent adult-oriented anime I've ever seen...scantily-clad women, gratuitous violence, and a detached sense of things which seemingly happen for no clearly defined reason (this is especially the case in the shorts taken from the "Liquid Television" series as opposed to the half-hour episodes selected from the "Aeon Flux" series...though even those don't seem to have begun from a specific point). This is a good collection of episodic animation that you won't need to buy an additional 5-10 DVD's to complete; the artwork does look a bit dated and possibly could have used better production values...but keep in mind that this was never supposed to be more than a warm-up act for "120 Minutes" on Sunday nights. I think all things considered, it holds up well and does serve notice that Peter Chung was definitely and up-and-comer in the animation world. Well-recommended (if you can find it, of course)...good luck!

I"ve never seen the DVD because I didnt know it was out until today and find out its not made anymore DANG!!!Anyway Ive seen the VHS version and this is preety cool Show It is about this spy who nsame is well of course Aeon Flux she wares a Cod leather suit and she has all these Moves shes after this guy Somthing Goodchild As you can see Ive seen this VHS two years ago Dang!!!

Ever since I saw the first clips on Liquid Television, I knew Aeon Flux was my heroine! Peter Chung is a very original animator and conceptual designer. I love this movie because it encompasses all that is Aeon, from the futuristic world that she lives in, the interesting characters she encounters, her secret missions to bring down the Breen government, and of course her love affair with Trevor Goodchild, her arch-enemy!
Anyone who loves Sci-Fi, should love Aeon Flux and anyone who loves Aeon Flux should have this movie. I give it a bias Five out of Five because I am a big fan of Aeon, and though I have been called a sexy woman myself I could only wish to be as sexy as Aeon Flux....She's the coolest!
