Advantages: It won't make its budget back Disadvantages: Where do I start?!?
In 2415, the survivors of an apocalyptic global plague live in a walled paradise by the name of Bregna, presided over by Trevor Goodchild and his brother Oren. But all is not well in the in the city - a police state in which people have a worrying habit of disappearing and the populace are haunted by strange dreams. Freedom fighters the Monicans send in their most skilled operative to bring down the city's leaders. Her name is Aeon Flux, an acrobatic assassin out for revenge against the men she blames for her sister's death.
Since the departure of the Sigourney Weaver's Ripley, cinema has been crying out for another female action heroine. But from the look of this nonsensical bucket of tripe, it will have to wait a while longer. So what went wrong? All the elements are here; director Karyn Kusama was at the helm of critically ...

Advantages: Stylish, good range of features Disadvantages: No 'piggy-back' connection
