I never really watched Æon Flux on television, even though it aired when I was in college and MTV was regularly playing on the common room TV. That said, I'm familiar enough to know that the series existed, and lasted more than three or four episodes.
Sadly, this film really, really feels like they had to cram an entire series into an hour and a half. Start to finish the pacing is just too fast. Maybe if I didn't know it was an adaptation I'd be more comfortable with it, but I kept feeling that all these characters have bigger stories to tell that were shoved under the carpet so the arc could play out on screen.
