Summary: Catching up with Japanese anime
Review: The only regret I have in this movie is that I didn't see it in the theater. With the constant rush of average animation and the constant Disney machine that squashes any other animation this movie is a welcome change. The animation is a mix of all the 2-d,3-d, and computer anime , and is blended well. The commentary is a little dry at some points, but this is the first movie were I watched the Feature and then immediately watched the commentary to see how the anime was done. This is well made movie that has a good story, likeable characters, and good "acting". Let's hope that we will see more of these non- cutesy animated features coming for those of us who want to enjoy an animated movie without feeling you have to have a child with you.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: rip-off after rip-off after rip-off
Review: the effects and CGI were really good, even acceptable for a movie with actual actors (instead of cartoons) but that would have been 10 times more expensive. I didn't even know it was anime until recently because they advertise it as a movie and just show the space battle scene. Drew Barrymore stunk and Matt Damon well, I'll let you decide. It's clearly a marketing thing, they're not bad actors they just don't belong here. AND THE RIP-OFFS! Every science fiction story ever made contributed at least one line to this movie. Be original! and don't say this is the next star wars just because you blow up the earth in the beginning (see planet ALDERON). Death to the marketers! Give their money to the filmakers!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Some of the Most amazing Eye Candy I have ever Seen!
Review: OK first the good. Titan AE has some of the most visually stunning scenes I have ever seen period. If you are into Anime then I highly reccomend seeing this movie it looks much better then most of the japanimation out there. It reminds me of alot of the scenes in Star Wars Episode One all being done with computers, you can tell they took there time in making the animation.

Now the bad: While Titan AE clearly looks amazing the story while good is some parts, is weak in others. Granted the story is intended more for a younger teen audience, it's kind of cheesey at times. I really didn't like the end of the movie at all, it just kind of ended and had me going that's the end! Other than that the DVD is really worth seeing and hearing. The sound is also top notch so if you have a nice sound system crank it up! I definately reccomend seeing this movie it's like nothing you have seen before, but the story and acting can be kind of lame at times.

So visually Titan AE get's 5 stars. As for the Story it get's 3.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: If you love japanese animes and Star Wars, you'll love Titan A.E.It's about a guy named Gail who learns he is the only hope to save mankind, he is being hunted by the drej, evil monsters who want to destroy the human race.I love this video because of the computer animation and the storyline. I think you'll like it too.

Summary: I was expecting better
Review: Since leaving Disney, Don Bluth was once the great hope for the salvation of American animation. Since that time, he was responsible for one great film, a few really good ones and a lot of other stuff. TITAN A.E. is among the "other" stuff.

After the terribly underrated ANASTASIA, I had really high hopes for TITAN. Since his remarkeable debut with THE SECRET OF NIMH (his best film and probably the best commercial non-Disney American animated film to date) Bluth's efforts have been spotty, with a large portion being on the downside of quality. ANASTASIA made a statement that those days might now be behind. Unfortunately TITAN proves otherwise.

The film opens in exciting fashion with an impressive and thundering spectacle of action, tension and good animation. At this time I point out that the film's sound is spectacular. It probably sounds better than any other film of the year. There is also another great suspence sequence at the end with spacecraft playing a classic cat and mouse game in a field of ice crystals.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of stuff in between those great scenes. I found the dialogue almost impossible to hear in spots and the character animation is very clumsy (especially considering the nice work in much of ANASTASIA) and, truth be told, the plot is totally senseless. There is no reason behind any of it. Not only that, but the film is just stuffed with cliche after cliche after cliche, stock characters and an ending sequence you could see a mile away. There are a few fresh ideas like a race of wicked winged aliens, but this gets burried in the muck of a muddled and over-all dull production.

The site blurb calls TITAN under-rated, but I beg to differ; it is far over-rated given the number of positive reviews I saw when it opened (and anyone who thinks this film is more entertaining than STAR WARS EPISDODE ONE is loopy.) If the film was ignored by audiences it is because it deserved to be.

Don Bluth left Disney to make fresher animated films, but it turns out the company he left was the true salvation of American animation. If you want to see a great Don Bluth movie, rent THE SECRET OF NIMH or ANASTASIA. If you want to see the best American non-Disney animated film since NIMH go out and get THE IRON GIANT which really rocks. But, if I were you, I'd leave TITAN A.E. to the easily impressed critics.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!! this movie will make you love Scifi all over again
Review: From the word go this film blows the doors of any other animated film ever made. The destuction of earth, to humanities enemy the evil drej this thrill reide will make you want to come back begging for more. The fact that this movie did'nt do better at the box office is very surprising . The low down on the film is Cale Tucker is humanities last hope a ring his father gave him is the only map to find the titan the last hope for mans existence. falls in with a space captain whose crew is searching for the titan now a thing of legend among the humans,along the way the drej are hot on their trail. You will not regret purchasing this testamnet to movie making at its best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent movie!!
Review: I don't know what happened at the summer box office in 2000, as this movie flopped. I must admit though, Titan AE is probably one of the strongest films that came out this year. From beginning to end, this film is pure eye candy. Once the adventure gets started the pace of the film really picks up and action doesn't stop until the end of the movie.

Titan AE is a good science fiction story, with some of the best animation I have ever seen. The voices of the characters include a top notch cast such as Bill Pullman, Matt Damon, Drew Barrymore, John Leguizamo and Janeane Garofalo.

At the end of the movie (VHS Version) there is a video by Lit for Over My Head, and the making of Titan AE (which is facinating).

This movie will likely appeal to Star Wars and Science Fiction fans!

Highly recommended!!

Summary: What was it exactly?
Review: Ok, I saw this in the theatre with my bro not expecting a lot out of it because of my recent history with anime and seeing that being so good. I walked out with the same feeling. I really felt like this was trying to be something it wasn't, some kind of action cartoon. I like Don Bluth and all but stick to mouses ok? I just didn't see it being very "cool" at all. And contrary to what some people might think, I beleive that the CG in Blue Submarine #6 is better than this. It may not be as high quality but it is definitely blended better. Just how they integrated it was much nicer, In Titan AE, however, it seemed to have a real gritty feeling and it even looked like it had some slow down.........But whatever. This is just my opinion and I'm stickin to it, so if your a big anime fan not expecting a lot from this, then your probably right and you won't get a lot out of it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dig this Movie!
Review: ok I saw this in the theater and I loved it. Talk about Animation! ok Star Wars was good but Star Wars is over! Titan is cutting edge fun, brilliantly done.

If anyone is into great animation (say Ghost in the Shell etc) this is a must. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and if you missed it in the theater DO NOT MISS IT ON DVD!
