I rented the Aeon FLux DVD last night expecting a bad SF movie since it had stayed in the theaters a week or two at most. However, it was quite good. The story was interesting and had enough of a twist to keep you going. I didn't notice the acting so I suppose it was acceptable. The visuals and sound (as seen on my home TV) were good. I didn't notice any fatal logic flaws, but these days I've decided to enjoy movies and only complain if my supension of disbelief has to be helped by a blow to the head.

I don't know why it did so bad in the theaters. Some ideas are that, it didn't match the cartoon so the die hard fans dumped on it, "girl" action flicks don't sell, too PG for the R audience, too bright and clean for the distopia crowd, the technology too hidden and unobtrusive for the tech heads or ???

Has anyone else seen it?
