My wife just called, I won a double pass to Aeon Flux.

That's a good thing right?

Aeon Flux ties with Firewall for my vote of Worst Movie of 2006 (so far; let's see if someone can top them).

Well, different people see things different ways, but for me the entire premise of the film didn't make any sense.

*** FIREWALL SPOILER ALERT ***

If a bunch of paramilitary guys with machine guns hold your family hostage and threaten to kill them, you frickin' well do whatever the hell they want.

Unless you're Harrison Ford.

*** AEON FLUX SPOILER ALERT ***

As for Aeon Flux, it took itself so seriously it was campy, the cinematography was terribly uneven and the plot devices created to show off Theron's acrobatics were juvenile.

E.g., when Goodchild's brother was killed and the rest of the council supported Trevor, there was no need to blow up the floating DNA lab since the government was now on Goodchild's side and would do what he wanted anyway.

And not only does she blow it up, but it rams into a building, probably killing some people. But it made for a spectacular finish. ;)

PS: Yes, Flightplan was completely ridiculous too.
