Æon Flux

Æon Flux (1991) primarily evokes a strong sense of Curiosity and Confusion due to its deliberately enigmatic plot, unexplained character motivations, and surreal, abstract narrative. Viewers experience high Anticipation and Excitement from the stylized action sequences and the constant, unpredictable events. Surprise is a recurring emotion, particularly from the protagonist's unique characteristic of dying at the end of every episode. The distinctive animation style and futuristic setting contribute significantly to Awe. The amoral nature of the protagonist, the swift and bloody 'justice,' and the recurring deaths also elicit a sense of the Disturbing and Anxiety, while the inherent futility of the narrative arc leads to an underlying Melancholy.
