Summary: animation masterpiece
Review: The first thing you notice is the time-honored Disney-style animation which stays as true to human movement as is technologically possible. This does a lot toward eliciting sympathy toward the characters. Each of the characters portrayed is important to the story; there are no extra characters carrying on slapstick while the story is played out.Our hero is a tinkerer frustrated by his job and position as outcast. An old friend of his father sets him on a course much like _Treasure Island_ in space. Finding humans like himself still exist, our hero vows to find the treasure which would save the human race from extinction. Throw in a race of aliens--who would like nothing better than to see humans extinct--and a sharp-witted love interest, and the story is a classic. For added interest, spice it up with fantastic, exotic scenes of other planets and cat and mouse scenes within mirror-like gargantuan crystals. This DVD is packed with a lot of entertainment value.

Summary: Entertaining!
Review: I loved this movie/cartoon... whatever you want to call it! I may be an adult but I like these types of movies. I don't think my 11 month old really gets into it and either does my 2 year old nephew but my friend has a 6 year old that just loves it!

Summary: Underwhelming for over twelves
Review: I've literally just finished watching Titan A.E. with my 16 year old son and my 10 year old daughter. My daughter was quite taken with it--she didn't find it too frightening, she enjoyed the strong female character and followed the storyline well. My son and I were somewhat unimpressed. Although he liked the animation, we both thought that the storyline was far too predictable, and when they said that the bad guys were beings made of "pure energy" within a minute of saying that the batteries on the Titan were completely drained and the hero had to find some way to charge them, we both groaned aloud. Furthermore, although I'd heard that the animation was spectacular, I didn't find it so at all. There were clearly different animation techniques used, including CGI, but there was no blend between the scenes and figures created using one technique and another. It seemed very artistically awkward. How Titan A.E. is any different from a Johnny Quest episode isn't clear to me at all, beyond the setting. Disappointing and not recommended for anyone except those between about 9 and 12.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: This movie is a good movie. The A.E. stands for After Earth. The story is about a kid who's dad dies saving his son. Then when the son meets up with his dad's old friend and he tells him about Titan, a ship his dad built that has the power to recreate the earth. So they go looking for the Titan with his dad's friend and his friend. But there is one problem, so aliens want the Titan also. So it all comes down onto who you can trust, and who you can not trust. Its a great movie, I definily recommand it.

Summary: EYE CANDY
Review: While I agree that Titan AE contains great special effects, the production team forgot one important element: plot. The backgrounds and spacescapes are visually stunning (the ice fields are beautifully done), however the animation of the characters themselves leave a lot to be desired. The plot is there, though I found myself not really caring about the turn out. On the flip side, my eight year old son loves it. (Then again, he had to ask me "Dad, what's a wookie?")

Summary: A New Breed of Perfection
Review: When Titan A.E. came out in theaters I regrettably did not go to see it. It looked too childish for me on the surface. When it came to video I finally rented it, and fell in love immediately. From the breathtaking special effects, to the energizing story and an out of this world soundtrack, Titan A.E. Is quite possible one of the best animated movies ever rendered. It combines the state of the art 3-Dimensional computer graphics similar to that of "Starwars" and "Toy Story", with the hand-drawn Disney style animation to create a revolutionary animation hybrid; the birth of an entirely new style of film. Titan A.E. is a must own for children and adults alike. The movie begins with the protagonist, Cale (Matt Damon), leaving Earth for the last time as he watches his father board the Titan (a revolutionary ship that was supposed to change man's role in the universe). Afraid of the power the human race now holds, the alien race referred to as "the Drej" destroy the earth in a last minute effort to eliminate the human threat. The Titan however escapes Earth and is hidden by Cale's Father. The story picks up fifteen years later when Cale is all grown up; working on a salvage station in the middle of deep space. He is soon discovered by ship captain Korso (Bill Pullman), an old friend of his father, and the vile Drej who wish to see Cale dead. The journey begins when Korso informs Cale that he is the only one who can find the Titan because his father left him a ring containing a genetically encoded map that can only be read by Cale. The story twists and turns in a race between the evil Drej and the Valkyrie (Korso's ship) and crew (Drew Barrymore, Nathan Lane, Janeane Garofalo, John Leguizamo) to find the Titan and decide the fate of the entire human race.

Summary: DTS R0CKZ HOME THEATER
Review: The sound will blast you out of your chair... The image is also very impressive... Arn't those the two main reasons to buy a home theater? The story may not be that original, but if you want a movie with just a good story, you should buy a new vcr, not a DVD Player

Summary: Make my villain Nathan Lane, please
Review: As I viewed this near disaster of an animated/science-fiction film, I asked myself, "who would I rather have as a villain, the annoyingly dull Bill Pullman, or the usually likeable and clever Nathan Lane?" Thankfully the Fox/Bluth alliance answered hopes in making both of them villains. Wow, I should maybe ask for Harvey Fierstien or Robin Williams for my next choice! Aside from that confusing choice of casting, the movie itself isn't too bad that it burns images into your retinas or anything, but it is, however, just shy of that. I've seen many bad science fiction movies before, I even seen some good ones, too. I applaud the folks at 20th Century Fox for bringing me parts of the bad ones mixed with butchered parts of the good ones. I like seeing the Han Soloish Pullman bark out orders and sometimes even be heard. I also enjoy awkwardly bow-legged monsters you could care less about (yes, I'm laying the sarcasm on pretty thick now). I was almost shocked into disbelief at the name Matt Damon's character gives his new planet. Great, now I'm having a relapse. Don't make the same mistake I did, don't have your eyes open during this movie.

Summary: Fun Futuristc Film
Review: When the reviews of this movie came out, they were pretty bad -- so we didn't see it in the theatre. However, we picked up the video and really came to disagree with the mainstream reviewers. The animation is outstanding, the music is good and the storyline is compelling. Our 8 year-old son really got into the movie and it tapped into his general love of science fiction and adventure stories. It's a good movie to own or rent, and the language and images are suitable for the whole family, even smaller children.

Summary: No comparison to traditional anime.
Review: I have to say that I am glad I rented this movie instead of buying it as I planned. Disney has nothing to worry about as far as competition goes. The storyline was well-defined but slow. Find the Titan, and what became of its creator, before the boy's enemies destroy it and him. Drew Barrymore had a few good lines, and quick-witted responses, but the people who did the voices would have been better served in a Disney remake of an old classic. Traditional anime is not afraid of nudity or violence, look what they show on Toonami on the Cartoon Network every afternoon. Everything from "Sailor Moon", who transforms in the nude in the Japanese version of the show, to "Big O" has excessive violence.
