The movie tackles the controversial scientific discovery, cloaning. People are living like experimental rats. Living in an open prison. And more than that, they find out that they are only copies of themselves, what kind of life is that?! Anyway, for every action there is a reaction. The group of rebelllions called "Monicans" stand up in the face of the dectatorial government of Goodchild. Although their world, Bregna, seems to be a happy one, mistery charges its atmosphere. People disappear and killed at anytime and their cases are always left unsolved.
Can cloaning save the world? Bregna was formed to save the human species. Yet we are meant to die, and only nature is the one who is obsolete not us. We only live once, but with hope. In the case of this movie the scientist responsible for the cloaning process, lives his all his lives ,and I mean his copies too, on the hope of finding his lost love, Katherine, the original copy of Æon Flux. When Æon first met him she felt like she saw him before that she new him in another life.Memories started to flash back in her mind leading her to discover the life she once lived, as Trevor's wife.
Man clings to this life and does what ever he can do to postpone his death, that reached the extreme nowadays by trying to have eternal youth, This was dramatized by Oren Goodchild. as he opposed every chance to stop cloaning. The cloaning process started first to save the human race, but had a fatal complication, sterility. So, scientific researches continued to solve the problem, experimenting on the generations of copies of the original survivors. Yet nature prevailed at the end and the sterility problem was solved without the involvment of the scientist, and since this solution would stop cloaning, Oren Goodchild opposed it and started killing any pregnant woman, and from here started the sieries of mysterious incidents of killing and dissappearing.
As good as the idea and the story of the movie are, the movie was some what boring, The sound effects and visiual effects failed to bring the idea in perfect picture to the viewer. It had a very slow pace at the beggining which made the viewer lose interest in what is happening. The movie reminded me of Jim Cary's "True Man Show" as he also lived as an experiment all his life in an open prison which lead to his state of rebellion at the end, exactly like the imergence of the Monikan rebellious movement. People would think that it is impossible to live in a walled country, an open prison, but unfortunatly if one opens his eyes he will find the paralles to this sad unhuman situation in real life.
