Animation great, it follows the style of Heavy Metal or Cool World. Problem is a weak cast, poor character development, and just plain boring. I knew what it suppose to be, but there is no story. Totally uninteresting

Overall I enjoyed Titan A.E. let me start by saying that. I had heard a lot about its big box office loss, but I read the description of it and thought it couldn't be that bad. Although I today still feel sorry its disappointing performance, I must say it has its problems. At certain times in the movie where the characters' actions seem a little rushed and too squeezed together instead of naturally flowing. But generally the characters are okay with good voice acting.I find the CG rendered backgrounds sticking out like a saw thumb most of the time. But aside from that first impression I actually found it fitting in this outer space setting. And what did surprise me in a positive way is how Don Bluth finally managed making a movie which had more adult elements in it. That was needed after those mostly disappointing movies he made in the 90's aside from Anastasia.The villainous character in this outer space adventure, the Drej, actually struck a little fear into me and made me fasten my grip on the arms of my armchair. That along with some thrilling action scenes made me appreciate it for what it is. I my opinion, Titan A.E. is an underrated Don Bluth film which deserves more attention. It does not rank as high as let's say "Secret of NIMH" and his other great 80's movies, but it is worth checking out if you like action/adventure movies.

first - for the image. second - for the story. and for the seductive idea. all - in new clothes. smart, cool, interesting for entire family, great for the escape from clichés and for the wise use of antagonism. maybe, the lead virtue remains the references to the classic Sci. Fi. films/series. and this does to it a large dose of realism. because it is one of films who has a lot of "whou"s. for the science to create a story amusing and surprising, heroic and fresh, seductive and touching. for the story of a son and the memory of his father. and for his unconventional friends. and enemies. so, a special film.

"I'd Buy That for a Dollar" Review - Titan A.E.Story - Basic sci-fi story about a kid who goes on a hero's journey. Nothing that hasn't been done a million times before, but not terrible either. The only major problem I had with the plot was with the ring that was encoded to work with only The Professor or his son Cale. If Cale had died at any time after Earth's destruction, then there would have been no way to find the Titan, and there would've been no story. Other than that, nothing story-wise that made me eye- roll, but nothing that was great either. Characters - The characters were about average. The voice acting from the cast ranges from decent to good. Unfortunately the script does not flesh out the characters enough for the audience to get too invested in them. The animation provides enough fluidity so that the characters have good expressions. The movie generally focuses more on plot and action than the characters.The Look - There are parts of the film that are absolutely gorgeous, like the ice field scene or the look of the bad guys, The Drej. 3d computer graphics and 2d animation are are not always blended together well, but most of the time it looks good. The animation almost always gives something interesting to look at.Emotion - The film rarely slows down and I was never bored watching it. The action scenes were exciting, but there is not much in the way of drama because of the shallow characters. There is some attempted humor but most of it falls flat with a couple of exceptions, especially at the end.Overall - Decent sci-fi action movie with average characters and an average story. Worth a rental to check out the visuals but not much re-watch value.
