Summary: The Best Anime Film!
Review: This movie was ok, but it definitely wasn't a good anime film. Everything in this movie suffered, from the character development to the story line. I did not find myself hooked into the the story line or any of its characters. Anyone who wants to see a good sci-fi anime knows that you have to look towards japanese animation. With classics such as Akira, Macross, Ghost in the Shell, Neon Genesis, and many other sci-fi japanamations, this movie doesn't even come close. It was a good try, but just like most american animation films it just didn't cut it.

Summary: Sci-Fi Lovers Rejoice!
Review: The summer of '00 did have something fun to offer us! I remember first hearing of Titan A.E. about the same time as everyone else . . . when watching The Phantom Menace. Fox started promoting this one in the theaters a whole year before it was released, and for good reason. Titan A.E. kicks major butt! But I'm afraid, once again, that it will go relatively unnoticed by Joe Moviegoer because most animated movies don't appeal to the average viewer, and it's not a stale Disney Broadway farce. Just do me a favor and give it a try. The critics are fairly split on this one, but if you have an ounce of adventure in your blood, and like non-stop action, you should dig this one. Titan A.E. harkens back to the good old days of sci-fi before all this cyberpunk garbage (besides The Matrix) was brought into being by William Gibson. It's got spaceships, faster than light travel, a really nasty alien race, lots of other aliens, tons of explosions, exotic locales, treachery, love, and GREAT looks. The film seamlessly integrates computer generated animation with cell animation with two sequences as examples springing to mind. The destruction of Earth and the cat-n-mouse game in the Ice Rings . . . the later being one of the coolest sequences I've ever seen in a sci-fi flick, animated or live action. Sure it borrows a little bit here and there from other sci-fi, and the creation of New Earth at the end is pretty far fetched, but who cares! This is great sci-fi space opera stuff. Don't let the fact that it's an animated movie stop you from seeing it...only a crusty old relic with no imagination will dislike Titan A.E., and it's just too much fun! And shame on Disney for brainwashing the populace into thinging animated offerings like this are no good. SHAME!

Review: I took my son to see this movie, age three, and then asked him what he thought was the best part. He said, "The part in space!"The whole movie is very good and I highly recommend it!

Summary: Best animated motion picture since "Akira"&"Ghost I.T. Shell
Review: I've seen no such great animated movie since "Akira" and "Ghost In The Shell". It's effects and soundtrack are marvellous. The storyline ist fantastic. It really IS a mixture of "Matrix" and "Blade Runner" in animated form. If you like animation you MUSTN'T miss this movie. Even better, get it on DVD to enjoy it again and again. I'm looking forward to watch the original english synchro. I've only seen the german cinema version. This movie can really match up with asian Anime. "HEY MOVIE PRODUCERS... I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE MORE SUCH GREAT ANIMATIONS! "

Summary: A refreshing change of pace from the Disney formula!
Review: Tired of the sing-songy atmosphere every year from Disney animated features? I know I am! Although Titan A.E. had only a fraction of Disney numbers in terms of a box-office gross, I found it to be a welcome relief from the typical Disney formula. It's true that Don Bluth was once a Disney animator before he struck out on his own with The Secret of NIMH (remember that one?), but his work distances itself from most Disney cliches. What a stunning visual treat this film is! The only problems I had with it is that the story tended to drag at times and the use of CGI is a bit excessive. I personally have nothing against CGI, but I believe it should compliment an animated film rather than dominate it. Overall, quite an achievement! So why did it not do well at the box office? Simple. Lack of marketing. Americans have not yet learned to market an animated film obviously geared to anyone older than twelve. Ad agencies see an animated film is being released, the first thoughts are of merchandising (i.e. - Happy Meal promos, action figures, T-shirts, etc.). Miramax (going off on a slight tangent here) had similar problems with the American release of Princess Mononoke, an excellent anime film that happens to be the highest grossing film at the Japanese box office second only to Titanic. Its PG-13 rating restricted it to mostly the arthouse circuit and brought its final American gross to about 2.5 million (compared to about 150 million in Japan). But getting back to Titan A.E., it's disappointing to see it suffer the same fate as last year's The Iron Giant. Hmmm...I wonder how they would have done if they both had the Disney name slapped all over themm....

Summary: Underated
Review: I would just like it to get out that this was possible one of the best American Animated movies in the last ten years. But due to bad advertising and a lack of target audience the movie was overlooked. However,its brilliant animation, incredible cast, and interesting story deserve a ton more respect than this movie recieved. This movie had all the neccessities that a good film should have, strong plot, interesting characters, good art direction, etc. And is a can't miss for anyone that loves animation, or just wants to see a good film!

Summary: Titan A.E.
Review: This movie is amazing! Not only is it an awesome sci-fi thrill ride, it's animated. Titan A.E. takes the typical formula for animated movies and throws it out the window. Don't look for Disney's dull side-kicks of sing gargoyles, teapots and dancing monkeys in this movie. The makers of this movie realized movie goers have brains and took the intelligent approach. Titan rocks with amazing animation, a great story and never a dull moment. This is an intelligent movie that should have preformed a lot better at the box office than it did. Titan a.E. is nothing short of AMAZING!

Summary: The Good part of the movie....(I needed over 1000 words)
Review: In this movie, I will admit, the plot is pretty loose. It's a simple "Get from point A to point B before the bad guys can" plot. The characters are all very likable and unforgettable, but they don't really develop all that much, except for Cale, Korso, and a little from Akima. What this film's REAL strength lies in is quite possibly THE most amazing visuals I have ever seen in a film. I'm an avid, diehard Star Wars fan who LOVED Episode One...and on a visual level, Titan A.E. kicked the (ahem) out of it. Almost every single scene had my roommate and I "oooh"ing and "aaah"ing. Watching every little detail of this movie from an artist's eye, one can see just WHY this film took over three years to make. And it is the first film I've seen where the 2-D hand drawn animation blends absolutely seamlessly with the 3-D computer animation. It doesn't feel like an overgrown version of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. And the 2-D animation is also done in a very refreshing non-Disney style, with a very dark and gritty tone to it.

Summary: FUTURE CLASSIC!
Review: When I saw Titan AE in the cinema, my instincts told me it was going to be good. But I was not prepared for the visual explosion of imagination that kept my jaw open for most of the running time! The character too are engaging, especially the main character Cale and the alien comic reliefs. But outer space itself is the real star. These great film makers made space what it should be -- full of incredible wonders. Whether it be the hydrogen trees, or the Drej nebula, or the AWESOME ice crystals that float and clash with each other and reflect passing ships in every facet. Crank up the sound and watch it in DVD quality splendor!
