Summary: The "Heaven's Gate" of animation!
Review: It's hard to believe 20th Century Fox dished out 80 million dollars to make this movie (when they were stingy with a guaranteed blockbuster like X-Men). Anastasia was Disneyesque but only made a modest 60 or so million. I wish they would add to the DVD a videotaped pitch for this movie, it would probably be more entertaining than the movie itself. I always wondered how films like this get a green light. When was the last time an animated sci-fi film made money in the US that wasn't imported from Japan? If they wanted to attract teenagers, the film needed graphic sex and violence! Titan AE was a monumental bore with nothing new to offer that wasn't already used in "Star Wars", "Star Trek", or "Alien." But the making of it may be something to see. My pitch for 20th Century Fox would be "The Heaven's Gate of Animation!"

Summary: Cosmic Castaways Fight to Survive!
Review: It's 3023 and as a refugee the remaing humans must survive. As the Drej try to wipe the human scum fromt the face of the universe all the while Cale(Matt Damon) is trying to make a living as a outcast human in a mulit-species universe. Cale later teams up with Akima (Drew) and Korso (Bill Pullman) who is one human scum that probably makes the Drej want to wipe humanity out in the first place. It's a race between, Korso's crew and the Drej to get to the Titan, with unthinkable plot twists and a soundtrack that's a must, this gripping computer animated movie is a must see!

Summary: excellent movie! why such bad reviews...?
Review: When i first saw the trailer for this movie, i knew i had to see it! it was my type of genre (out of many)and anyone who knows me can tell you, I loved 20th century Fox's movie prior to this one, Anastasia. Everyone who I've ever asked if they liked this movie didn't have anything negative to say. they all loved it! Many critics out there (like the ones who work for news papers and magazines) had really nothing but negative comments about this great film. One critic got me really upset(no names...). he said that he thought it was stupid how the drej didn't speak english. the point that i was trying to make is that this cartoon is quite different from any cartoon that most american company's have ever made (in japan, non-lovey-dovey-kiddy-happily-ever-after cartoons are nothing new) and many people don't like change. the bottom line is if you like sci-fi/action movies and are open minded, you should really like this one.

Summary: 3 1/2 stars, actually....
Review: The only thing that really bothered me about this movie, is that the villains (Drej) are given no motivavtion to wipe out humanity. So, right off the bat, the plot is really kind of weak. However, as stated numerous times before, the animation was very interesting and the action scenes were pretty cool. Fans of animation should want to check this out at least once. Very entertaining, just don't expect a high caliber script.

Summary: About all the references to Star Wars...
Review: I've been reading more reviews on this movie, and would like to remind/inform everyone that George Lucas borrowed from a number of myths to create his trilogy. Therefore, the parts in this movie that seem like references to Star Wars could really come from a number of other stories. Most of the reviewers on this board give Star Wars/Star Trek too much credit. Don't let any references to other movies keep you from enjoying Titan AE.

Summary: Underrated
Review: I just didn't understand all the negative reviews. Everyone I know that saw this film loved it. All the comparisons to Star Wars, etc. plot elements and characters are quite a stretch.The visuals are fantastic. You can still tell the 2D from the 3D, but it's only ocassionally distracting and overall *very* worth it. There are a half dozen scenes the like of which I haven't seen in *any* sci-fi movie, animated or not.

Summary: Supercharged Fun.
Review: This movie is just plain fun and action packed. Visually, this movie packs a serious punch, a serious pleasure to the eyes and ears (especially on DVD). As for the plot, it is pretty good as well. I will be bold enough to say that the plot contains more emotion than other certain big budget science fiction movies like episode 1. Most Sci-fi fans will love this, but some hard-core sci-fi fans might be turned off by its PG rating. I feel really sorry for this movie. It did Terrible in theatres making Fox animation studios shut down. This movie is a perfect and shining example of an animated gem that is not made by the Disney company. Unfortunately it is a perfect example of how non-disney animated films get shafted at the box office. Highly reccomended.

Summary: Better than Dinosaur. Not as good as El Dorado
Review: Okay. I've thought about it some more. At first I was willing to give this movie four stars. It is a competent animated movie, more so than the poorly executed crapfest with only outstanding graphics that was Dinosaur. The graphics in Titan A.E. may not be as brilliant, but at least the story is better, if only by a little. But I can't ignore those boring characters and the plot holes any longer. Despite a decent story, it still looks like it was put together in a day or so, and the characters are utterly flat. And gawd is the animation pitiful! It's not as horrible as Pokemon, but it still gets bad at some parts. Now take another movie with a very wimpy story. Road to El Dorado. Yeah, it was a weak movie, but it was damn fun, and the animation was top notch. With Titan A.E., they had a serious story, but the studio didn't know what to do with it. Everything was by the numbers, and nobody took a chance, something Dreamworks likes to do, even if some of their movies are a little bad. If you're a big animation or sci-fi fan and like a little action, Titan A.E. should satisfy. Otherwise, find something else to watch, like Chicken Run.

Summary: having your planet blown will have that effect on a species
Review: Titan AE, the greatest insult to the world of art was that it bombed at the box office and secured that fox will never make an animated film for years and don bluth will have a ring around his name in hollywood. But why is this? i don't know, this film was awesome, an instant classic. Many people talk about iots refference to other films, this film was written by, among others, joss whedon (creator of buffy) and john august (writer of GO), any referrence, like the many there are, are VERY deloiberate. The film symbolisies the future of sci-fi, animaiton, as well as paying tribute to the sci-fi genre as a whole. Other refereences being classic pieces of cinema such as the Lady from Shanghai hall of mirrors scene given an amazing new twist of style. The animation is wonderful, aweosme, why? finally there is an animated camera here. It feels like a real film, the 'camera' pans around the characters making them feel part of this universe. The characters also, Don Bluth has stood firm and not succombed to the disney style of aniamtion, or the new dreamworks style, both of which are infancy crowd pleasers. This is a mtaure, almost *)s retro look. The soundtrack is also reminiscent of the 80s, a time of rebelllion, a new age, the 80s were actually a whole let better than the 90s. The short revbiew would be that titan ae is a mature animated film from don bluth with a sci-fi setting and small slice of stylised manga from across the globe. See, the film, and i defy you to not enjoy it, the voice talent is brilliant, non stereotypical, realistic, it may sound odd in reference to aniamtion, and sci-fi, but it feels more 'real' than your average american animated offering. Buy it, watch it, love it. It was a great injustice that a great tribute and benchmark in modern animation was greated by such bad press and poor box office pulling. Welcome to thefuture, i leave you with the immortal words of Cayle, "All i ask is that they kill my food before they serve it".

Summary: Perfect
Review: That is the word i can say for that movie(?) or cartoon(?) i really dont know what to call that one... I think producers tought that it would be very very expensive to shoot a spacemovie and maybe they couldnt handle special FX so they shot a cartoon. Nice story, one may believe that it would be possible to have something like Titan in years to come. I dont have to say anything about the soundtrack it speaks for itself. Everything was perfect the thrill, action anything...
