Leather–bound and lethal, Aeon Flux - secret agent, saboteur - engages in a never-ending battle of wills with her nemesis/love, Trevor Goodchild. And what she may lack in morals and warmth, she more than makes up for with cat-like reflexes and ammunition. This director’s cut of the groundbreaking MTV series is a mind-blowing combination of killer comic-book style animation, complex plots and themes, and action-driven narrative. The 3-disc set includes ten digitally re-mastered episodes, and the original MTV shorts. Aeon Flux doesn’t skate the edge, she is the edge. And she will prevail, even if it kills her. Over and over again.
Editor's Note
In the early 1990s, animator Peter Chung presaged the bleak futurism of THE MATRIX with his cutting-edge animated series AEON FLUX. The edgy cult favorite originated as a sequence of film shorts aired as part of MTV's animation showcase, Liquid Television, but proved to be so popular that it was soon expanded into its own full-length series. Moody and stylish, the sci-fi-themed series chronicled the morally ambiguous adventures of its titular antiheroine, Aeon Flux, an acrobatic and bondage-clad secret agent who carried out her mercenary missions in a futuristic, BLADE RUNNER-like society. In addition to a unique visual style that echoed Japanese anime, the series distinguished itself with experimental narrative that eschewed continuity, plot, and even dialogue for a distinctly postmodern slice of sci-fi nihilism. Innovative and highly influential, AEON FLUX is presented in its entirety with this collection that includes both the shorts and the longer episodes in beautifully restored and remastered editions.
