Summary: For the little Sci-Fi Fan out there.
Review: I saw this movie in the theatres with my friends and we could not help ourselves to making a few jokes about the events that transpired throughout the movie. But, anyway let me give you a brief summary of the movie as I'm sure you'd like. The Earth is dead, destroyed by beings made of total energy because they feel threatened by the humans. But, Matt Damon's character holds the key to the future of bringing humanity together. If you have a young child out there who is just beginning to become interested in science, math or science fiction. If you wish to start him out with a descent movie. Go with this. I'm sure anyone who likes sci-fi big or small would watch this movie at least once.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fairly Good, Some Missed Potential, See Once At Least
Review: I think the music was a little flat and repetitive, and could have used some inspiration. The storyline could have been tightened to avoid slow spots and predictability. Personalities could have been developed more.

However, I am a nitpicky perfectionist and even if I made a cartoon myself, I probably still wouldn't be satisfied. The animation is great; there is some bare skin and a little violence (Earth blows up, a big roach gets zapped, and a weird alien gets chop-chopped), none of which really bothered me but might be inappropriate for younger kids. I liked Chicken Run better but enjoyed this 'toon as well. See it once, why not?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Maybe for Kids
Review: I don't know if this was what I was waiting for. (the box declares, "the movie star wars fans have been waiting for") Actually I didn't even know I was waiting for something. More likely than not this would better suit the age range of 6-15 than adult. However, the illusrations and visuals of this movie are outstanding. Great audio as well. Some of the best I have ever seen in an cartoon film or anime if you prefer.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Nice animation , shame about the plot .
Review: I saw this a few weeks ago , and was extremely impressed by the animation . The soundtrack was standard punk-rock fare . But sweetness , the plot was so utterly lacking , predictable and formulaic that it almost became a parody of itself . There were alot of references to other films here as well . You'll have to spot them .

Lurrrvely animation though - See this one just for the cg .

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The best since Star Wars!
Review: This movie is some kind of a mix between Independance Day and Star Wars: the Drej and their ships (including the mothership) remind me of ID4, but everything else is totally Star Wars only missing the Force, the light sabers and Darth Vader. Cale(voice by Matt Damon) looks like Luke Skywalker, Akima(voice by Drew Barrymore) is almost a Leia, but not a princess though, Korso(voice by Bill Pullman) is a rough Han Solo and even the Valkyrie is a mix between the X-Wing with the Millenium Falcon! It has some of the prettiest images of 2000, and the FXs are super. The plot is good, with an unexpected twist in the middle. But, it was a little unlucky on the box office. It had sucess but the money that Fox Animated Studios invested on this, meant their rupture. But I'm sure that we don't heard the last of Fox Animation Studios, and it will rise again to present us with more masterpieces like this one. 8 out of 10, 4 stars out of 5.

Summary: This movie got good reviews?????
Review: Talk about typical Hollywood story. I really expected more from this movie reading reviews from people here and local critics. I had to keep myself up most of the time. This is one BORING movie. Even the evil characters are nothing special. I always feel if you have a great villain you have a great movie. What I meant by typical Hollywood is those who you think are the good guys are really backstabing good guys. I am so sick and tired of this. The animation and sound are fantastic, which's the reason for the two stars. The story moves along at a snails pace and the ending - Really bad. I read the cover stating, "this is what Star Wars fans have been waiting for!" We have? I admit I love the Star Wars movies, but this is long, boring and stupid. This movie bombed at the box office and now I know why. I would have been mad if I had paid for this movie at the box office. Luckily, on DVD when you fall asleep you can go back to the last chapter. As for the local critics (Ebert & Rooper) who loved this movie I suggest they watch it with their eyes open next time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An inspirational piece for animators.
Review: This is the greatest movie that ever flopped at the box office. Im a computer animation student and watching this is just an inspiration. This film is for anyone who misses the Millenium Falcon. It doesn't live up too Star wars or Matrix but as an animated film it's greater than any weak rip-off disney can come with. Titan Ae brings back memories of old animated classix like Heavy Metal and Transformers the Movie, among others, where there is awesome animation, booming soundtrack and characters who are driven by their desires and agendas (despite the lack of depth). Nowadays we have sissy cartoon movies like Pokemon out, selling stupid toys but Titan Ae actually delivers. So far the best movie to be inspired by Star wars, among the ranks of Independence Day. I love this movie and i'll get the sequel which won't come out now since so-called sci-fi/action movie lovers didn't show up to support it.Pity . I liked it on Vhs but this movie is made for DVD. So dont miss out.

Summary: Awesome on the eyes, hard on the brain...
Review: Okay, I love sci-fi. If I could, I would eat, sleep and ... well, you get the idea. I love sci-fi. Correction ... I love *original* sci-fi.

Multiple times during this movie, I found myself saying "Wow" at the visual wonder that was this film. Just as many times I found myself saying "Yawn" at the plot. Hearing the name Joss Whedon attached to the film, I had visions of Buffy-esque plot twists gone sci-fi. Instead, I got a church basement pot luck supper of a plot. By the last twenty minutes, I was naming the movies where I had seen this before. That, in itself, became almost amusing after a while, but that is another story.

Look, get it because it is visual eye candy and don't expect much from the plot, and you will be content ... no more, no less.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for kids
Review: The story is predictable and stale for long-time sci-fi fans. It is great, however, for kids in the 6 - 12 year old range that like sci-fi but haven't been around the block too many times. The visuals are very well done. The voice acting is top-notch. The audio is tremendous.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Titan: Absolute Embarassment
Review: Fifteen years ago, an armada of the vicious Drej destroyed the Earth with no warning or explanation. Now mankind is reduced to the life of bums and vagrants on rusty space stations around the quadrant, rapidly dropping in morals and numbers. Enter Cale, a young hothead who may have the only key to Titan - a late Earth artifact which may be humanity's only remaining hope.

"Titan A.E." is a piece of weirdly emasculated SF-lite animation. The plot is extremely straightforward, with no twists of any import: basically, the "heroes" hop from planet to planet in search of clues, periodically getting attacked by the Drej and/or kidnapped, in which case the plot becomes a "let's get back to our ship" scenario. Furthermore, the storyline is riddled with cliches, but they are handled extremely clumsily: the romance between the opposite sex leads blossoms out of nowhere; the film has a lion share of "comic relief" characters, but they are irritating and repulsive; characters experience sudden changes in personality. Furthermore, the film can't decide on a tone: it alternates between slapstick and mature; in one scene, the hero spouts crude jokes while repeatedly kicking another prone character in the ribs. The villains are formulaic "evil aliens", and the majority of the film's extraterrestrials seem to have descended from Earth animals - dogs, turtles, cangaroos.

"Titan A.E." features some mind-boggling computer-generated scenery, but its manually animated aspects are extremely bland and muted. The soundtrack grinds on the nerves, in part because of the incredibly poor vocals.

In a nutshell: don't bother.
