In 865 a great Viking army landed in East Anglia precipitating a series of wars that would last until the middle of the following century It was in this time of crisis that the modern kingdoms of Britain were born In their responses to the Viking threat these kingdoms forged their identities as hybrid cultures vibrant & entrepreneurial peoples adapting to instability & opportunity Traditionally Aelfred the Great is cast as the central player in the story of Viking Age Britain But Max Adams while stressing the genius of Aelfred as war leader law-giver & forger of the English nation has a more nuanced & variegated narrative to relate The Britain encountered by the Scandinavians of the ninth & tenth centuries was one of regional diversity & self-conscious cultural identities of Picts Dal Riatans & Strathclyde Britons; of Bernicians & Deirans East Anglians Mercians & West Saxons ...

Like the animated series it’s based on Aeon Flux is the kind of sci-fi that’s best appreciated by the MTV generation It’s a serious attempt at stylised futuristic actionadventure (the title character played by Charlize Theron is essentially a female James Bond for the cyberpunk era) & taken for what it is it’s not all that bad The action takes place in the year 2415 four centuries after a virus nearly decimated the human race leaving only five million survivors in a utopian city called Bregna Aeon belongs to the Monicans a secret rebel resistance force that is struggling to destroy the Goodchild regime led by its namesake Trevor Goodchild (Marton Csokas) the ruler of Bregna & a descendant of the man who found a cure for the deadly virus As instructed by the Handler (Frances Mc Dormand gamely playing along in ridiculous sci-fi regalia) Aeon is assigned to assassinate Goodchild but there are deeper secrets to be discovered & conspiracies to be foiled This leads director Karyn Kusama (who fared much better with her debut feature Girlfight) to indulge in all sorts of routine action & fast-paced gunplay but the elusive pleasures of Aeon Flux are mostly found in the sleek athleticism of Theron & costar Sophie Okonedo (as a fellow Monican) who commit themselves 100 to roles that are dramatically flat yet physically dynamic Other highlights include Aeon’s high-tech gadgetry (including an eyeball that doubles as a microsocope) & the amusing sight of Pete Postlethwaite in a costume resembling a construction-site disposal tube but Flux fans may wonder what happened to the surreal chromium sheen future that gave the MTV series its visionary appeal As a live-action feature Aeon Flux is a miscalculated exercise in cheesy style & dour tone but it’s entertaining enough to earn a small cadre of admirers --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to the Blu-ray edition Please note this is a region 2 DVD & will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play ...
