Aeon Flux

Charlize Theron is Aeon, a rebel assassin in a city of 5 million in the year 2415. This city happens to be the last remaining instance of humanity after a global virus 400 years ago, and this city was saved by the founders (the Goodrich family). But something in wrong and she is out to set things right. I first saw this when released in the early 2000's, and in my mind this was one of the classic dystopian action films. Seeing it again, it is a bit cartoonish, but still quality. It did not know how to walk the line of reality/cyborg the way Alita did more recently. I would guess originally it was a 4 star, but now only 
3 stars (out of 5)
