Let's not mince words about Charlize Theron's trip, fall and go boom futuristic action film "Aeon Flux": It's as enjoyable as acid reflux. Somehow, director Karyn Kusama ("Girlfight") has taken the worst elements of "The Phantom Menace" (the incessant monotone verbiage) and "Dune" (the visual space garbage) and infused it into a sci-fi film as confusing as it is uninteresting. But let's at least say something nice: "Aeon Flux" is nowhere near as bad as John Travolta's stupendous flop "Battlefield Earth." Read the full review
