"The best way to predict the future is to invent it."-Alan Kay

The special effects of Aeon Flux (Karyn Kasama, 2005) are worthy of praise. The CG aspects of the film blend well with the set producing a believable futuristic set. The actors have portrayed their futuristic characters well together with the costumes, make-up and hair which coincide perfectly with the setting producing the mood and atmosphere of this doomed futuristic world. The film contains expressionist features, as it is disconnected from reality by setting it out of context and into the unknown future. Their futuristic, stylised settings cause them to contain expressionist qualities. The ultramodern, clean, remote sets and use of lighting of Aeon Flux portray a drab future. The director is in absolute control over how they want their audience to respond. The audience watching this film can still find themselves caught up in the story because a believable world has been created however their response and how they feel about certain characters, scenes and the overall movie is all controlled by using expressionist techniques. A movie to see for the projection of one "what if" of the future, the look of the film (sets, costumes, characters etc.), and some alright choreographed fight scenes. However Aeon Flux is still a Sci-fi action film therefore maybe not the type of film for some.
