Æon Flux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I never watched the original animated series, but I remember looking through the graphic novel back when I worked at the comic store, and I really enjoyed Æon Flux the movie, which is loosely based on its antecedent but in a nice coherent way. The physical moves are similar to what characters in our game can do, so it was nice to see a demonstration of things like rolling with impact, jump kicks, and leaps. If you like science fiction and unarmed combat (and armed for that matter, as quite a bit of gunfire happens as well), it's well worth a look. Charlize Theron does an excellent job as Æon.
