[The News Bot]

It’s difficult to criticize this collection on any level. It’s simply a perfect collection if you want the eye and ear candy that will bring out the best in your home theater system. It’s moderately priced for the amount of pure entertainment it will return. The only shortcomings I could find is in the video quality of the original shorts could have been brightened up. The sound in the features could have used the surrounds and sub a little more aggressively especially in the original shorts. Usually exuberant use of subs and surround channels is distracting but in this case we can make an exception because it would fit the material.

With special features that include interviews with Chung, writers, producers and even the actress who gives the voice to Aeon Flux it’s got as deep a look behind the scenes as you would possibly want. The clean white package with Chungs signature and signature Aeon Flux image on the cover is pleasant to look at as it sits on my desk all day long, I want a poster of it. I am seldom thrilled with menu systems and animated navigation, but I enjoy this one almost as much as I liked the Sin City menu animation. This set even goes beyond the call of duty by providing us with a strong dose of Liquid Television to set the backdrop for Aeon Flux’s origin. If I had a wish list for this release the only thing I could possibly ask for is a DTS soundtrack and a date with Charlize Theron. But hey, I understand there are limits.
