Customer Reviews of Aeon Flux

Superb Series
With the critical failure of the Big screen film version, it serves one well to be reminded of how good the animated series was during its run on MTV. <
> <
> Brilliant atmosphere in the cyber-punk environment, great voice acting, humour, action, characters and a compelling storyline make for an essential purchase. The series revolves around Monica operative Aeon Flux who is as deadly as she is beautiful, and her ongoing and unusual relationship to Trevor Goodchild who is the series second main character and a somewhat lover/enemy of Aeon. There are alot of sexual undertones in the series with a good mix of humour and seriousness. All of the stories are unique and because of its short run there are no episodes that feel like fillers, and each adds to the vibrancy of the Aeon Flux world. <

> The artwok is well animated and styled and very unique. The music is also unusual and subtle yet adds to the atmosphere of most scenes, pleasingly it also has a DD5.1 soundtrack which is good news. A great purchase and a classic worth seeing in all respects.

Easily the best of the Æon Flux video tapes
I've been a fan of Æon Flux since the half hour episodes started in 1996. Previously, in High School at that, I also saw the Liquid Television shorts, which I also enjoyed. Of the three Æon Flux video tapes, I think this one is the best because it includes the Liquid Television shorts. One thing I would change if I could, would be to have it have all the shorts in one segment, and all the half hour episodes in another. The "shorts intermission" works, but is distracting to the half hour episodes' time line.

A full-blooded, American Anime
Aeon Flux. It exists within its own genre and nearly is its own genre. It is what I like to term "American Anime." That is, that there is an obvious inspiration taken from Japanese style animation. However, this is not Japanese. This interesting hybrid is the brainchild of one Peter Chung. <
> <
>Being American, this animation is more realistic looking, the characters looking less like anime and more like animated real people. The style strikes me as American too, all clean lines and sleek though utilitarian functionality. <
> <
>Aeon Flux is a complex, quirky, and very weird animation that tells the tale of two nations, Bregnia and Monica. At some point, these nations became estranged from one another and a border wall armed with automatic guns now clearly seperates them. It is vaguely like East and West Germany during the cold war. Matters were made worse when Bregnia is forced under the control of a new and strange leader, Trevor Goodchild. The motives and desires of Trevor are unusual in the extreme. <
> <
>Aeon herself, being the title character, is an agent in the service of the Monican government. She is a self-styled anarchist who fights for the ideals of her country and herself, while, at the same time, being the lover of Trevor Goodchild. <
> <
>This show was something rare and something very different. It still amazes me that this even got onto TV. It is a show that is at once very philosophical while being also very surreal. Each episode explores some new twisted dimension of thought. <
> <
>I would hesitate to show this to small children as there is some violence and mild sexual innuendo. The deeper story of each episode would also elude a small child.
