Summary: TITAN Animations Excellent... (But thats about it)
Review: Filled with visual splendor, TITAN AE leaves the viewer having seen sights never before seen! Filled with a flat, boring script, TITAN AE leaves the viewer having seen a story told many times before. But, I think the creators focus was on the visual... The musical score is properly heroic but quite often the visuals are accompanied by rock songs that sound more like a 1980s garage band than over 1000 years in the future. Additionally in the audio department, a high profile voice cast was brought in but, without exception totally wasted. All of this adds up to film for the less discriminating sci-fi or anime fan. TITAN AE is a mish mash of STAR WARS, BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, STAR TREK, STAR TREK 2, and THE WIZARD OF OZ. The DVD is nicely done with a directors commentary and some unfinished deleted scenes.

Summary: I'm disappointed!
Review: I was expecting a imaginative film that is all I can provide as a positive review. Other than that Titan A.E. is just Eye Candy. I was enchanted by the visuals which I can say pretty much blow anime out of the water with unique character designs. The people are much more believeable and not so cartoony. Akima is a female character I actually like because she has strength and is much more intelligent than any Anime bunny I've seen. The human characters are much more attractive than any anime character and the show is actually refreshing relief from Disney. Something I'd recommend over buying a lame recycled disney sequel.

Summary: Cartoon Sci-Fi Comes of age
Review: This "film noir" animation feature has all the components of a traditional movie. Fantastic script/story, excellent animation and great visual presentation makes this a DVD the family can watch especially for the over 10's with enough humour and story depth to at least keep the parents watching until the end. The BEST animation i have seen for years - well produced.

Summary: My review of "Titan A.E."
Review: Okay it all started on May of 1999, when i saw "Star Wars:Episode 1", i saw the trailer for this film, it showed Cale narrating "I was born on year 3023, humans had already conquered space, even though it was easy to travel to the farthest galaxy, we always thought Earth will be home...but we were wrong and we had to leave", that trailer was simply fantastic, it showed a wonderful animation, in fact i thougt that it will be a film for the FOX tv series "Futurama". then on January of the next year i saw a TV Spot, in the WB, and my intentions to watch this film, just gotted way up, so finally June 16 came, but three days later i looked at the Box Office Charts and i was dissapointed to watch "Titan A.E.". on the fifth place, then on July 4th was when i saw the film i gotted sad to see that film only has made 20 million dollars, and that it was only on one theater in El paso, but when i gotted to see it ,i thought that i was going to be dissapointed, but i wasn't, i saw it with my uncle and aunt, and with my cousin, and we all love it, ok, not all my cousin liked it, and well the day that it camed up on DVD i buyed it, and i was really pleased, to see it had a DTS track, but i founded out that i needed a DTS decoder to hear DTS, and well i love DTS!, but the Dolby 5.1 track sounds really good, and i plan to buy my Home Theater System with Dolby and DTS in a couple of months, but believe me the film and the DVD are truly fantastic, the plot is good, but a bit mediocre, the animation is wonderful, the voice talents are great, but it's really hard to recognice and i think that Matt Damon should improve on screaming "Akima!", like in the first TV-Spot, the behind the scenes documentary is really informative, but it isn't complete on FOX Latino, they broadcast it, and they forgot to show how did Graeme Revell did the score, and that Glenn Ballard is his cousin,but i was dissapointed with the trailers and TV Spots, i wished they had showed the first three TV Spots, because those two in there just..., and i think they should have also included the very first trailer, for it, and i also recommend you to buy the Titan A.E. soundtrack is really good, (but where is Creed?), and the novelization for the film by Dal and Steve Perry, it will take you more in depth to the film and is really greatly written. **** 1/2 out of *****

Summary: What else can we rip off?
Review: The above reflects what the creators of this visually stunning, in some cases very entertaining yet contrived film were saying to each other during it's development. The voice talent was excellent, the animation was the best I've seen for an American film for years, however this film borrowed HEAVILY from other flicks. First of all, there is an anime film called Lensman in which a young man becomes "the last hope for humankind". He ends up getting some special device implanted in his hand that can save humanity from a pure energy scourge that threatens the universe. Secondly, Titan A.E. also borrowed liberally from Starchaser: The Legend Of Orin. The starship chases and overall look was definitely an inspiration to the creators of this film. The big problem is that both Lensman and Starchaser were both pretty much animated versions of either OTHER ANIME or STAR WARS. As we all know, Star Wars was a space version of an amalgamation of George Lucas' favorite Akira Kurosawa films. Titan A.E. was also inspired by Heavy Metal, the cult animated film with different stories featuring a pulsing soundtrack. This is the other area in which my friends and I were saying to each other "have I seen this before?" repeatedly throughout the film. Look, Titan A.E. DID NOT SUCK, but it did not take us into any new territory, either.

Summary: IT`S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!
Review: It`s about time the U.S. reliesed a good animated action flick. I love animation but I was getting so sick of the same story that Disney have been recycling for the last five years. The last movie Disney made that was any good was The Lion King. Aladin was the best of that bunch.Ok back to Titan A.E. . This movie has some of the most life like animation ever made. Much of the Movie is like a music video.The sound track ROCKS! And The plot is very creative too this time when the earth is atacked by aleins (we lose). and the action is great too.

Summary: This movie does not work
Review: No, I don't mean my dvd player is broken, I mean the whole plot, graphics, voice overs, they're just not that good. Ok half of the graphics are good, but the other half are [not]! If you're going to make a movie for its graphics, don't stick in pratically 2D charictars with 3D backgrounds! But the parts that were 3D were good graphics. As for the plot, it could be better.d with DNA bottles, it is massive, and when he first enters, he has no notion of the DNA. It just looks like gold. FASTINATING. MUST HAVE. FIVE STARS. and may i add, BIG TIME ACTION MOVIE!

Summary: A great science fiction story
Review: Some of the magazines and Newspapers i found said that this was a 3 star because the idea of space travel and blow up the aliens had been used too much and it was poorly written. I found that the great graphics in this movie added to the moderate story plot, making it one of my favorite animated movies i own for DVD. DVDs are always more interesting than video tapes, in that they often have special bonus features. I looked at the cut scenes and character profiles and found them ok. The movie deserved much more than a 3 star rating, but maybe not the 5 star i gave it. It should deserve a 4.5 star, but i cannot make that rating on this system. The graphics are ok, along with the computer technology used in several spots. Overall, this is a good family movie and a great science fiction story.

Summary: Brat discovers father
Review: Take a formula story; add celebrity voices to distract you, throw in graphics that you would not know was better if they did not yell it at you every chance they get. And you have Titan A.E.If this is supposed to be 3'D a D is missing. It is slightly better than the standard Anime. They fill in the slow spaces while the graphics are catching up to the story with crude imitations of contemporary bubble gum music. The story is formula. The characters are stilted and the technology is not. This is a very lengthy cartoon. Designed for people that would be better off with a commuter game.

Summary: Solid Animation Sci Fi
Review: Being a fan from the "Heavy Metal Movie" generation, I guess I expected too much from this, and I found myself somewhat disappointed, but I soon realized that this is good sci fi animation. There is some good music included in this one, but it cannot and will never top the "Metal" soundtrack. Character that Barrymore plays is hot. Top notch animation special effects here.
