Translating AeonFlux to non-anime film is troublesome
The appeal of AeonFlux, to me, is the raw sexuality and acrobatic prowess of the main charater (Aeon). The lithe, Peter Chung greated Egon Shiele inspired, bodies of all characters promoted the futuristic feel that kept me watching. The music melded with the visual feel in a way that I find hard to believe can ever be transmuted to fit any human character (except maybe Christian Bale in the Machinist – more spooky than SciFi).
I don’t have high expectations for this film (although I will see it) and I await the full Peter Chung collection on DVD (unless it already exists – I haven’t checked)
