I liked Aeon Flux.
Looking at the movie reviews though, you'd think it was the worst movie ever...
It's not. In fact, its one of the best science fiction movies I've seen in that it doesn't talk down to the audience.
Of course, it's not really Aeon Flux, the movie. I didn't expect it to be, because the original Aeon Flux was sort of this oblique commentary on the whole Cold War. From the trailers, I knew that wasn't going to happen (the Monicans are no longer a separate country but “rebels”), so about 30 minutes into the movie, I decided to evaluate it as a regular science fiction movie. In that case, I found it pretty good.
It's fun, stylized, and makes you think. The future actually looks like the future, instead of “like the present only different”.
I found it to be like Gattaca, only entertaining...
Though, sure, the Original Aeon Flux was better (in an artsy sort of way), I still enjoyed the movie.
