Summary: Nice special effects, overly-loud, somewhat vacant plot
Review: This is pseudo-science fiction. The simplicity and lack of detail in the plot hurts the movie, especially the ending. The end is incredibly simplistic. The scenes did not really tie into the next scene, so the action felt broken up. A few of the scenes had some nice action, but did not move the plot forward at all. It feels like it's geared towards younger teens. Rent this movie first. This movie is like a cheap stereo blasting very loudly.

Summary: TITAN A.E.
Review: I just bought a DVD player and I wanted to watch something animated, but sci-fi in nature. This was a great choice. It was made for a large screen, but is breathtaking even on a computer screen. It is a little cliche on the dialogue at points, but it holds together well. It could have been fantastic (a classic maybe)if it's script was geared to adult audiences.

Summary: Impressive!
Review: This was a wonderful movie! The characters were great, the plot unique, and the music UNFORGETTABLE! I'd recommend this to everyone because it is a fun story with lots of action and fun. Disney must watch their back, so many new animated features prove to ruin their reputation! I loved everything about this film, it was one of the best!

Summary: Highly underrated movie.
Review: I think Titan A.E. has gotten an unfair amount of flak. Critics fault it for having a trite story, or a shallow line of characters, and some have even went as far as to say that it has an annoying and loud soundtrack.I will admit, the story is a little underworked and predictable, but "shallow characters" is going a bit too far. Apparently, people confuse shallow with blonde-haired teen males. Go figure. Anyway, what I really like about Titan A.E. is the raw sense of "high" that I get from watching it. Yeah, the graphics and special effects are spectacular, but it's also the camaraderie between the characters, the atmosphere of the surroundings, and just the grand scope of everything. This is a huge, huge movie and if you sit and watch it, you'll know what I'm talking about. Also, I really like the soundtrack for this movie. The songs really heighten the heavy-metal, techno ambience of the film, particularly The Urge's "It's my Turn to Fly" during that amazing flight sequence (although I still think Creed's "Higher" would've worked even better :). All in all, it's a great film to watch. It's not extremely heavy on the thinking side of things, but the style and sheer size of everything makes this baby fly.

Summary: Remeber the Titan
Review: I first saw this movie on the day it was released in theaters and I was very impressed by it. It had a good story great effects and a pretty good soundtrack. It had kind of a Anime feel to it as well. Everyone keeps comparing this movie to Star Wars and Star Trek but it did not seem like it had too many elements from Star Wars to me personally. As for having themes from Star Trek I don't reallly know I'm not a big fan of the shows or the movies. I would say it would be better to compare this movie to some of the older Anime titles that involved outer space. All and all this is not a movie you would want to miss be you animation fan, Star Wars fan, Star Trek fan, Anime fan, or if you just like movies. If you have not already seen this movie then I suggest you buy it or rent it , you could be missing out on your next favorite movie.

Summary: A Great Animation
Review: Spectacular visuals and interesting characters really made this sci-fi animation worth watching. The movie itself was a blend of other sci-fi flicks ranging from Star Wars to 2001. Matt Damon voices the main character Kale, who is chosen to save the human race by finding and retrieving a mysterious ship that will supposedly save the dwindling human race. To do this Kale teams with a band of space pirates voiced by Bill Pullman, Nathan Lane, Jeneane Garofalo, and John Leguizamo. The special effects sequences are out of this world. Crisp and clear with great sound. I was quite impressed with the amount of time and effort that was spent making this film. The only thing that I really didn't much care about the animation was the fact that the character animation looked 2-D. They seemed out of place with the extremely 3-D environment that surrounded them. Other than that, this film really raises the stakes on how good animation needs to look like. Definately one to watch.

Summary: Outstanding visuals, adequate storyline.
Review: This is one of those DVD's that everyone should have in their collection, just to show off their DVD player. The visuals are outstanding on this disc, it made me wish I'd seen it in theatres, where it would have been even more breathtaking. The story is somewhat derivative, containing a lot of elements from Star Wars and Star Trek movies, but it's never boring, just not entirely original. The one thing I was surprised at was the level of violence in the film, it was a little more than I was expecting, so this probably isn't a great movie for your five year old. In turn, this makes the movie have a little more appeal for an older audience, however. The voice acting is top-notch, Matt Damon, Drew Barrymore, and Bill Pullman are just some of the actors who lent their voices to the characters. Watch the credits at the end, and you'll find a few more celebrities you know as well... All in all, it was a fun movie to watch, and a great film to show off your equipment and the quality of DVD. It's not the greatest film of all time, but it's something that both a 10 year old and an adult could enjoy together. It reminded me a lot of Transformers: The Movie, now 14 years old, and made me wonder what it would have looked like given today's technology.

Summary: WHOOOOOAAAAAAA
Review: Was this good or was this GOOD? I still can't believe that it this movie was a failure on the big screen. Anyway, no point crying over spilt milk, but I believe that we can all help salvage this movie by buying the DVD and hoping that there is another such birth with the magnitude of talent, creativity, suave and wonder of TITAN A.E. Although it took on quite a few characteristics of 'Star Wars', the story, animation, music, and score is enough to make you a believer that animated movies can be as exhilarating as anything out there. If you're looking for a collectible here's a definite one for your collection.

Summary: animation good- story bad, bad
Review: Perhaps I was expecting too much from the creators of Anastasia, where the background digital animation and characters seemed to fit better, but I was dissapointed in the effort (or lack thereof) in this movie. While many of the digital animated scenes are great, the somewhat crude character animation kept interrupting the great background work. The story itself VERY liberally "borrowed" from many other, better scifi films. The entire "orphaned boy saves everybody" has been done to death, starting with Star Wars, all the characters were stock cliches from other films, and the ending was taken right from Star Trek II- The Wrath of Khan. Anyone would be hard pressed to find any original ideas in this film, although there were moments where a good idea (even from someone else's movie) can come alive with the great digital animation.
