Quotes

[first lines]
Trevor Goodchild: The unobserved state is a fog of probabilities, a window of and for error. The watcher observes, the fog collapses, an event resolves. A theory becomes a fact... What is the truth? Tell me, if you know. And I will not believe you. Things are never what they seem. Clean gloves hide dirty hands - and mine are dirtier than most... Without truth, there can be no justice. Justice will be done!

It's Aeon Flux, stupid...

Aeon Flux is one of the sexiest animated characters I've ever seen. "Aeon Flux" is one of the most bizarre, intense, reality-bending animated series I've ever seen. It aired as part of MTV's "Liquid Television" in 1995, and won over a devoted following. 10 years later and one feature-length film starring Charlize Theron later, "Aeon Flux" remains a milestone in animation.

Created by visionary Peter Chung, its style is reminiscent of Anime', yet to a trained eye it isn't. It's distinctly American, and the animated series itself is unique because the star of the title died at the end of nearly every episode, with the next entry redrawing the lines of reality and continuity.

Hundreds of years into the future, Trevor Goodchild is the charismatic dictator running a utopian society and is locked in a costly battle of wills with Aeon Flux, an amoral, sexy-as-hell mercenary who seeks to bring him down at all costs. Her motives are unknown, yet we get the sense she is the rebel hero though her amorality makes it truly unclear about why she has it in for Goodchild.

I don't know what inspired Chung to give rise to this, but given if he creates more stuff like "Aeon Flux," you can bet I'm going to buy the next DVD set of whatever he envisions. "Aeon Flux" walks a fine line between intense sci-fi battles and borderline pornography, but I have to hand it that this is some really amazing stuff here.

It's tripping the rift, "Aeon Flux," but the recent DVD made my jaw drop and its style is unmatched. This is "Aeon Flux."
