Kurrs' Digital Tapestry of Words

Aeon Flux sucked. Why is it that dystopian action flicks are so hard for hollywood to do right? I mean, they were so close on so many marks. I loved the sets, the city, the gadgets, the plot itself was rather believable, and the fact that they didn't bother explaining how any of the futuretech shit worked, it just did. Yet, trite hollywood-induced love dialogue that made George Lucas look like some kind of modern Sappho (ok, that comparison is upsetting, but oh well), as well as positively abysmal pacing, cinematography, choreography, and editing got in the way. I mean, I didn't even like the original Aeon Flux so I can't even complain about how it doesn't even remotely resemble the series. I just wanted, well, a movie that didn't make me feel distinctly disappointed at seeing it. Despite the fact that the plot had the decided potential of making a very good movie with basically no alterations, the writer's complete inability to write dialogue and the director's complete inability to... well... direct, ruined what, ultimately, was not that bad an idea.
