It stars Charlize Theron as the title character, Marton Csokas, Jonny Lee Miller, Sophie Okonedo, Pete Postlethwaite, and Frances McDormand.

Four centuries later, in 2415, the remaining five million humans inhabit Bregna, a dystopian[3] walled futuristic city-state, which is ruled by a congress of scientists.

A skilled warrior, named Æon Flux, is a member of the Monicans, an underground rebel organization who communicate through telepathy-enabling technology and are led by the Handler.

However, in order to keep the dynasty of Goodchild clones in power, Trevor's brother, Oren, had Una killed along with the other members of the fertile experimental group.

In a confrontation with Trevor and Æon, Oren reveals that nature has corrected the infertility problem and that some women are becoming pregnant without intervention by scientists.

[citation needed] Kusama had originally suggested filming in Brasília, the capital of Brazil, because the 20th-century modern architecture of that city fit with her vision of Bregna.

Additional locations included Sanssouci Park, the Bauhaus Archive and a dissection theatre built in 1790 to train veterinarians, part of the Berlin animal shelter.

Æon Flux suffered a decline of 63.97% in box office earnings, going down to number six the following week when The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and King Kong were released during the holiday season.

The consensus states, "Aeon Flux lacks the gravity-defying pace of its animated predecessor, and, despite some flash, is largely a dull affair.

Although Peter Chung was initially optimistic about the film and was impressed with the sets,[10] he ultimately described it as "a travesty," adding: I was unhappy when I read the script four years ago; seeing it projected larger than life in a crowded theatre made me feel helpless, humiliated, and sad.

"[11] Screenwriters Hay and Manfredi said in an interview that the film was re-cut by the studio prior to release, but that the original director's cut contains nearly 30 minutes of additional footage, which Chung acknowledged in his criticism.

[12][11] Graeme Revell composed the score for Æon Flux; the soundtrack is available via Varèse Sarabande as advertised on the film's official website.

The first issue sets up Flux's mission for the miniseries: sabotage the Bregnan government's plan to destroy the forest outside of Bregna's walls.
