What's visually stunning proves intermittently stunted on the narrative front, however. Orphaned when the evil Drej atomize Earth, protagonist Cale (voiced by Matt Damon) must journey across space to unlock the mystery of his late father's final project, the Titan spacecraft, in a test of faith and filial identity that echoes Star Wars. The Titan itself ultimately poses a cosmic potential familiar to admirers of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Comical sidekicks (Nathan Lane, Janeane Garofalo, John Leguizamo), a sultry love interest (Drew Barrymore), and a roguish mentor (Bill Pullman) all verge on the generic, narrowly redeemed by dialogue from a writing team including Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon.
It's likely that Titan's target audience of young males prompted the filmmakers to walk a tightrope between softer family features and more violent, hard-edged anime. Titan's brief bloodshed and coy nudity stop short of PG-13 terrain, though younger viewers might be unsettled by the violence. Young teens will find the proceedings tamer than the video games and anime fantasies that have influenced it. --Sam Sutherland

Customer Reviews of Titan A.E. (Special Edition)
INCREDIBLE ANIMATION IS AS VISUALLY STUNNING AS IT GETS! VISUALLY STUNNING ANIMATED EPIC - BUT . . . . . <
> <
>"TITAN A.E." has incredible animation that is simply as good as it gets. However, the characters, their dialogue, and the storyline are not up to that same standard. Bluth's epic reminds one of several recent live-action sci-fi classics, including Star Wars, The Last Starfighter, and Independence Day. Relying on other films for its storyline is what hurts Titan A.E. the most. <
> <
>In fairness, the story is an interesting if not an original one, but the way it plays out is just too static and relies on cliches and a lot of small talk which the characters banter about. <
> <
>The film cost $75,000,000 to make, but only did $23,000,000 at the box office -- apparently it was not well received. Nevertheless, there is something compelling and real about the look and sound of the film which are both larger than life and very fitting for such a "titanic" production. Probably the best compliment I can pay this film is simple -- I sincerely hope that Don Bluth continues to make animated films. <

Lots of fun, easy to watch again, and MAN does it sound good!
This is one of those DVDs every audio nut is probably going to have. It just sits there on your shelf along with other necessities. Finding Nemo has some impressive scenes that give your subwoofer a workout, and so does this film.

>Animation isn't bad, and use of some CG helps keep it interesting and strikes an good balance between "almost realism" and the cartoon/animated portion. Overall the art direction is good, but if you have a sound system worth bragging about this movie is simply unreal. It will piss off your neighbors and let you know what's not tied down in your theater room.

Great exciting animation movie...
I love this movie. It is very interesting and I liked it a lot. The basis is the earth is destroyed, and the evil aliens are after the Titan which is a machine capable of making another planet Earth. A boy who has grown up has the map in his ring to where the planet is, but he does not know it until he runs into a group searching for it. They go on a wild adventure and it is very interesting. I liked this movie a lot and recommend it to anyone looking for an action packed animation movie.
