Description
A reluctant young hero holds the key to the future of mankind in the palm of his hand in this eye-popping, sci-fi adventure. In the year 3028 the Drej, a vicious alien race, has destroyed earth. Fifteen years later a young man named Cale learns he possesses a genetically encoded map to the Titan, a spaceship that holds the secret to the salvation of the human race. With the Drej in hot pursuit, Cale blasts off with the crew of the Valkyrie in an attempt to find the Titan before the Drej destroy it - and with it, mankind's last chance for a home of their own. Featuring an all-star voice cast that includes Matt Damon and Drew Barrymore and an edgy, out of this world soundtrack, Titan A.E. is an intergalactic thrill ride for a new generation. |

A visual knockout, Titan A.E. is an ambitious animated feature that combines traditional animations, computer-generated imagery, and special effects in the service of a science fiction adventure plotted with narrative conventions familiar from Star Wars and Star Trek. Credit directors Don Bluth (An American Tail, The Secret of NIMH, Anastasia) and Gary Goldman with crafting a vivid, convincing look to this deep space saga, which conjures some stunning images. A tense opening sequence climaxing in the destruction of Earth, a watery planet where delicate but deadly hydrogen trees float, joyriding in a starship while pursued by playful "space angels," and a nerve-wracking journey through a lethal maze of massive ice crystals each qualify as mesmerizing sequences in any film context. What's visually stunning proves intermittently stunted on the narrative front, however. Orphaned when the evil Drej atomize Earth, protagonist Cale (voiced by Matt Damon) must journey across space to unlock the mystery of his late father's final project, the Titan spacecraft, in a test of faith and filial identity that echoes Star Wars. The Titan itself ultimately poses a cosmic potential familiar to admirers of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Comical sidekicks (Nathan Lane, Janeane Garofalo, John Leguizamo), a sultry love interest (Drew Barrymore), and a roguish mentor (Bill Pullman) all verge on the generic, narrowly redeemed by dialogue from a writing team including Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon. It's likely that Titan's target audience of young males prompted the filmmakers to walk a tightrope between softer family features and more violent, hard-edged anime. Titan's brief bloodshed and coy nudity stop short of PG-13 terrain, though younger viewers might be unsettled by the violence. Young teens will find the proceedings tamer than the video games and anime fantasies that have influenced it. --Sam Sutherland |

Titan AE by J. Izquierdo (Queens, NY)  5 Stars
October 01, 2009
Great story. The action starts from the very beginning. The movie does a good job keeping the kids AND the adults engulfed in the story. The soundtrack is excellent. I like how they mix cartoon animation with the computer animation. The voiceovers are well known stars.

It's an alright movie. I only got it because Joss Whedon co-wrote the script. It kinda leaves you unsatisfied after.

An excellent movie that nobody knew about by Joshua Bookout  4 Stars
February 24, 2009
Titan AE is one of those movies that didn't get the attention it deserved in the box office. It has a unique plot, a very well done third party soundtrack (I would recommend looking into it as well) and grade A voice talent. This movie is also one of the last traditionally animated movies produced before computer generated animation began to dominate the market in the early 2000s. Titan AE is a Sci-Fi movie that takes full advantage of both the setting and the artistic medium used to produce a stunning setting for the fast and hard hitting plot. Overall, it is a perfect movie to watch with friends due to its fast pace and short running time.

One of the best! by Alicia Shaw (Pawcatuck, CT United States) 5 Stars
February 23, 2009
Okay so Don Bluth was one of the great animation masters of the 80s and 90s and always brought us such happy loving childrens stories into our eyes and hearts that made us melt in our seats. Titan AE did much more. It gave us the future that we wish for not to come but fear and know that it most likely will. This movie captures a revolution in animation and design and delivers a great signature for Don Bluth as an animator. He has brought dogs to heaven, Russian princesses back to throne, and fairies back home, but never has he brought us here to the brink of real fantasy as he did in Titan AE.
