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.
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. <

>For the price this movie sells for, you simply can't not have it.
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.
good visual, lacking in other areas
I'll admit when i first heard about this movie, i did have pretty high expectations and had heard a number of good things about it...and when i bought the DVD (used for about $5) i thought i was in for an excellent movie...i figured i was in for something different in the first scenes when it is the last time Cale will see his father alive and even those scenes were stale...and that was the beginning of the movie...and that brings me to my biggest problem with this movie, the writing and the characters (not all though)...there were very few places in the movie where the dialogue felt like it was kind of plodding along...a lot of it seemed forced...out of all the characters, the one that struck me as flowing with his dialogue was the alien crew member who double crosses right at the end on the Titan itself...most of the others were static in their presentation...especially Stith (spelling?)...she had one mode...angry and yelling...even the main characters didn't seem to develop much...what i did like about this film was a number of the visuals...the space scenes were particularly good...though the ice labyrinth did seem a little flat at times...the artwork was good for my taste, except for the Drej...i hated the design of the Drej...it was like their ships were just thrown together pieces of block shapes and triangles, and had little functionality to it...anyway...overall, the visual aspect of this film is at least commendable, but the dialogue and storyline was lacking in depth that could have helped tremendously.
