The main difference between Flux and MVC is the unidirectional data flow. In MVC, a controller updates a model which updates a view which again talks directly to a model that might invoke another view which again might cause a model update, and so on. In Flux, the only thing a view can do is to invoke actions on the top-level dispatcher. Furthermore, views are never partially updated, they are always re-rendered from scratch every time (like you typically do in the back-end).
