Are we talking movies or characters? Either way, Aeon Flux mops the floor with Not-so-ultraviolet.

I figured Ultraviolet could just talk someone to death with her insanely cliche, bad, macho dialogue and low grumbling voice.

Aeon Fulx for me. Nothing is worse than Ultraviolet.

office jesus
They both suck.

Both movies sucked, but Milla is much hotter (at least in my opinon).

Can't be as bad as Elektra

Not a fan of either movie, but would rather watch Ultraviolet again over Aeon Flux.

Both sucked...Ultraviolet gets my vote though.

"Aeon Flux" was released on DVD on 4/25, and "Ultraviolet" on 6/27.

i just watched ultraviolet today expecting another aeon flux. I was very pleased that it was 100 times better. That being said it still wasnt very good at all. The difference was Ultraviolet at leat had some cool scenes in it, which gave it a big advantage over the crap that was aeon flux. I will always take Charlize Theron over Milla though. Equilibrium owns both.

I, personally, don't get all the resentment towards "Aeon Flux". It took a TOTALLY different approach to Science Fiction in that the society in which Aeon lived wasn't all mechanical. It was a organic , in that I mean that right down to the defense mechanisms, it was natural. Even the grass served as a weapon. That was refreshing. The surroundings were similar to "Equilibrium", although the cartoon predates that by a good decade. The whole passive society angle isn't anything new, anyway. I liked the costume and set design, and when I'm intrigued by the surroundings, I'm more liable to let the flaws in the plot off the hook to an extent. In Sci Fi, everything is a plot hole, so you have to expect it anyway.

Some really solid cinematography and gorgeous choreography in spots. Where as "Ultraviolet" had too many gimmicks. The score changed every 15 seconds, a fight broke out on the cue of the score, the CGI was terrible, the spastic soft filter ruined the look of the movie, Milla Jovovich's lines were garbage and not imposing...and that's in the first 25 minutes of the movie.

....which is subsequently when I looked to my girlfriend and cut it off.

haha yea ultraviolet may have been better off as a silent film, or atleast only sound effects and no lines. I also just watched superman beforehand, which really made the poor cgi in ultraviolet stand out even more for how bad it was. I just remember really not enjoying aeon at all.
