History Film / AeonFlux

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Or What Happened to the EliteMooks. The Special Forces sent after Aeon and Trevor lose most of their men in the subsequent shootout, but at least two were still around shooting at Aeon and Trevor escapes into a train. Somehow they don't show up for the rest of the film, and in the climax the opposing forces consist entirely of regular Bregnan troops.

* EliteMooks: The common Bregnan soldiers wears black uniforms, but at one point Aeon and Trevor are hunted by a squad of Special Operatives clad in grey and wearing face-plates, who puts up quite a fight and even managing to inflict near-mortal wounds on Trevor. Even Aeon has difficulties trying to take down these mooks.

* CloningBlues: Done much straighter and more simplistically than in the show.

* EyeScream: AEon must authenticate herself by being dosed with an anesthetic before a needle is inserted in her eye to test her DNA.

* AncientKeeper: The Keeper of the genebank zeppelin, an incredibly old man who explains the plot at the end.

* GardenOfEvil: The defences of the "government zone" are biotechnologically engineered plants with poison and ballistic weaponry.
* GatlingGood: Freya's weapon is a multi-barrelled rotating handgun.

** Trevor died an unknown number of times. Because they were clones. (Although actually Trevor only dies twice at most in the cartoon series, in "Tide" and possibly in one timeline of "Chronophasia", it's [=Æ=]on who keeps dying. The movie has [=Æ=]on die only once.)

** At the start of the film, [=Æ=]on grabs a fly with her eyelashes, as in the credits of the cartoon.

''[=Æ=]on Flux'' is a 2005 live-action film directed by Creator/KarynKusama and based loosely on the iconic [[WesternAnimation/AeonFlux animated series of the same name]] by Peter Chung. It starred Creator/CharlizeTheron as the assassin [=Æ=]on Flux, but otherwise was so far divorced from the original material that Peter Chung was embarrassed to have it associated with him.

* BigBad: CanonForeigner Orin is given the role and acts as a much more traditional villain than Trevor did in the original work, scheming to keep the remnants of humanity under his iron-fisted control.

* DragonInChief: Orin is actually taking advantage of his brother's unworldliness to put himself in charge.

In the year 2011, a devastating virus wiped out 99% of the world's population. The remaining survivors live in the idyllic city of Bregna, but like all post-apocalyptic utopias everything is not as it seems. [=Æ=]on Flux is a member of a rebel group known as the Monicans who seek to undermine the government (or something), but when her sister Una is taken on suspicion of also being a Monican (she's not) and [=Æ=]on is sent to kill the government's leader, Trevor Goodchild, she ends up uncovering secrets about Bregna that pretty much throw her ideas about herself and her world down the stairs.

* FacelessGoons: The Breen soldiers are all masked.

* CityInABottle: In the film, Æon is a ''[[Franchise/TheMatrix Matrix]]''-style opposition guerrilla out to bring down her closed city which is straight out of ''Literature/LogansRun'', her lover is a [[EmperorScientist totalitarian]] ReluctantMadScientist trying to keep secret [[spoiler:the human race's sterility while he solves it, and the actual villain of the piece is the RMS' ''brother'', an entirely new character who believes that [[TotalitarianUtilitarian their current existence is perfect]] and that a cure would be just as bad as revolution.]]

* EnemyMine: Trevor and Æon are forced to team up when the depth of Orin's nastiness becomes obvious.

* HandyFeet: Sithandra, who had a second set of hands grafted onto her ankles--a procedure which she highly recommends to Æon.
