Aeon Flux was a great movie. I had no idea they made a sequel. (startrek.website)

I much preferred the original series. Like, the original original series; not the stand alone cartoon, but the little skits that first appeared on Cartoon Sushi.

Oddly, Ultraviolet felt more like an Aeon Flux movie than Aeon Flux did, IMO. If you liked the live action Aeon Flux, you will love Ultraviolet.

Aeon Flux and Ultraviolet came out around the same time from what I remember. Where I lived, dunno about elsewhere, they were advertised almost as competitors. I saw so many trailers I thought they were the same movie for a while. However I have seen it and I do love it.

Still prefer Aeon Flux. Dunno why. I honestly thing it just might be that Aeon Flux was more 'gay iconic' than Ultraviolet was. Jovovich was kicking ass and taking names in that but she was raw and powerful and violent. Aeon Flux had some camp to it. The ridiculous outfit, the nonsensical flips, the weird cut aways... It's kinda like how Catwoman was one of the most hated movies in the world yet holds a weird place of esteem in big parts of the gay community. Just a "you go girl, you slay!" thing. I have no idea. I'm a mess.

I actually get what you mean here because all my lesbian friends and even some of my straight girl friends love Charlize Theron. So maybe it's just her, lol

She does give off that "YOU GO GURL" energy.

The original appeared on Liquid Television in the very early 1990s.
