Æon Flux (2005)

Synopsis: In the future, the survivors of a terrible epidemics live isolated in a city surrounded by walls; they live under a dictatorship whose head is the scientist who invented the vaccine against that deadly virus. Aeon Flux is a female member of the resistance and has been assigned to attempt against the life of the scientist-dictator.
Appraisal: I am a great admirer of the leading actress of this film; she, and the good-tasted production design, are the only (feeble) reasons to watch this otherwise vacuous futuristic thriller. One note: whoever says that this is a feminist movie should be reminded that it was written by two males, based on a graphic novel created by another male, and production designed by yet another male.
Rating: 12
