Rating:5/10 After hearing all the terrible reviews for this movie, I wasn't sure if I wanted to give this a chance. But it wasn't as bad as everyone says it is. It's not that good either. This was a pretty good movie visually. The special effects were really cool to look at. I really liked the arm to leg translplants. Not only were they kind of funny looking but really helped in a couple fo the action sequences. I loved the homage to the cartonn they had in the begining, when Aeon catches the fly with her eyelash. The movie really didn't have the feel of the cartoon though, which was a disappointment. I enjoyed the cartoon. The cartoon held nothing back, where it felt like the filmmakers were a bit inhibited. The film was pretty well paced though and had a decent amount of action to it. But this could've been worse. But because of the inhibitions and it didn't seem to have the spirit of the cartoon, it could've been much better.
