The 1991 animated Æon Flux TV series that I really love. Created in 1991 by Peter Chung, aired on MTV in 1995, Æon Flux became a cult series. In 2005 there was also a movie starring Charlize Theron as Æon Flux, but it lacks the quality and subtle complexity the TV series has. The TV series can be described in a few words: love it or hate it.

"Aeon Flux is a mysterious and amoral secret agent from the country of Monica. Her motives or background are left unexplained, as are those of her antagonist/love, Trevor Goodchild. On her missions, she deals swift, bloody "justice" to all that oppose her. The second season episodes of this series were unique in that Aeon died at the end of every single episode."

-----------------------------------


Serialul de animatie Aeon Flux a fost creat in 1991 de catre Peter Chung si lansat in anul 1995 pe MTV USA si a devenit in scurt timp un cult. Foarte pe scurt este vorba despre frumoasa agenta a statului monican Aeon Flux, care saboteaza planurile lui Trevor Goodchild, conducatorului statului totalitar rival Bregna. Actiunea se petrece in anul 2415 dupa un cataclism nuclear.

Exista un episod pilot lansat in 1991, in 1992 au aparut 5 episoade scurte a cate 4 minute care au 2 caracteristici specifice (Aeon moare la sfarsitul fiecarui episod si lipsa dialogului), iar in 1995 seria s-a dezvoltat cu 10 episoade a cate 25 minute.

Serialul poate fi descris in cateva cuvinte: love it or hate it. Nu prea exista cale de mijloc. Scenariul este uneori extrem de intortocheat, la limita intre normal si pervers, rasturnarile de situatie fiind frecvente, iar actiunea este la ea acasa. Un serial complex si ciudat, penetrand mintea si gandurile cele mai ascunse ale telespectatorului si imbinand totodata actiunea SF cu umorul absurd.

In 2005 a fost lansat filmul cu acelasi nume in rolul principal fiind Charlize Theron. Chiar daca nu se ridica la nivelul serialului animat filmul reuseste sa readuca atmosfera specifica, scenariul fiind insa prea putin dezvoltat.
