    Aeon Flux and Ultraviolet came out around the same time from what I remember. Where I lived, dunno about elsewhere, they were advertised almost as competitors. I saw so many trailers I thought they were the same movie for a while. However I have seen it and I do love it.

    Still prefer Aeon Flux. Dunno why. I honestly thing it just might be that Aeon Flux was more ‘gay iconic’ than Ultraviolet was. Jovovich was kicking ass and taking names in that but she was raw and powerful and violent. Aeon Flux had some camp to it. The ridiculous outfit, the nonsensical flips, the weird cut aways… It’s kinda like how Catwoman was one of the most hated movies in the world yet holds a weird place of esteem in big parts of the gay community. Just a “you go girl, you slay!” thing. I have no idea. I’m a mess.
