Hurlshort Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 I watched the trailer to this over at Gamespy recently...(I'm sure it's elsewhere for the gamespy haters) Aeon Flux I was a bit shocked. I vaguely remember this from MTV when I was a kid. If anyone knows more about it's history, please feel free to elaborate. It was an anime series, I believe. The shocking thing is that it's Charlize Theron, a pretty well respected actress. She isn't really known as the action flick girl. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Kaftan Barlast Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 I never could figure out what that series was about back then. Just a lot of licking peoples ears.

EnderAndrew Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 I never could figure out what that series was about back then. Just a lot of licking peoples ears. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It has the same emotional depth of a Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarentino film. It's there simply for the ride.

kumquatq3 Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Saw the trailer the other day, looks crappy. Then again, so did the TV show.
Laozi Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 My older sister used to watch that show alot. My only hope is that its not as disturbing as Theron's other work: Monster or her attempt at comedy on SNL People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

Hurlshort Posted August 24, 2005 Author Posted August 24, 2005 So nobody thinks it's odd that Charlize Theron is playing this role? She seems to be a pretty serious actress to me, and this seems to be a bit of action fluff. Whether it's good or bad action, it just seems to be a pretty far stretch from her Academy Award playing role in "Monster". What's next, Sally Fields in Catwoman 2? Ah well, I guess everyone likes to branch out...and she does look much better than she did in "monster".
Cantousent Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 It's definitely action fluff. Still, I like a good action flick, so no prob. For some reason, I thought this was a game. I was greatly disappointed to find it's a movie.

Archmonarch Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Aeon Flux - TV to Movie to Game Adaptation There will also be a PS2 release. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
metadigital Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 The game sounds like a Prince of Persiaesque fighting adventure. Which doesn't interest me. At all. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Archmonarch Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 To be honest, neither does it hold any promise for myself. I simply remembered seeing mention of it somewhere, and sought out a link for Eldar's consumption. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
metadigital Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Maybe part of the problem is that "mainstream" gamers don't want the (I assume there must be) stigma of RPG in their games, so even games with "RPG elements" are played down, and launched as whatever their main genre is ("FPS", etc). After all, the process of creating and building a virtual character in its own world is intrinsically interesting, surely? OR aer we all just a (significant) statistical blip on the gaming radar?

Cantousent Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 I dunno, I was hoping for something different, but I'm game to try most any genre, although I trend to RPGs and FPSs. This one seems closer to an FPS. The movie could be good, but I'm thinking dvd rental. Thanks for the link, my supreme king.

metadigital Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Prince of Persia, and games like it, are too far down the platformer axis of the FPS genre, for me. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
