not as good as all the hype

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

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.

Great animation, solid voice acting and original plot and story. Titan A.E. needs to be seen to be appreciated. Don't pass up a chance to watch this visually stunning film that also brings good story substance. The characters are well developed and captivating and well thought out. One of the best sci fi animation attempts I've ever seen. If you are a star wars I suggest you check out this movie it is fun to watch but also has a wonderful seriousness to it which is refreshing as not to make the film too campy to enjoy. This movie is a go to for myself and family as it is a film that is enjoyable more than once and a perfect movie to enjoy whether alone, with someone special or even a family movie night.

Titan A.E. (2000): Dir: Don Bluth, Gary Goldman / Voices: Matt Damon, Drew Barrymore, Bill Pullman, Janeane Garofalo, Ron Perlman: From the makers of Anastasia comes a plot about something we often take for granted; our existence. The human race is vanquished with few survivors. The hero is a teenager whose father was killed by an alien race formed of mass energy. He is left only with a ring that has peculiar power. It reveals a map leading to where his father hid the Titan. Together with his human allies and mutant companions they board a trade ship thus beginning a dangerous adventure. Detailed and inventive animation from Don Bluth and Gary Goldman who also made All Dogs Go To Heaven. Matt Damon voices the hero who is thrown into a new responsibility and must prove himself for his family legacy. Drew Barrymore provides the voice for his female companion who is pretty much a romantic prop and nothing else. Bill Pullman voices a character who goes through two changes. Janeane Garofalo voices some multi-legged mutant who spouts out lines fit for a nightclub comic. Ron Perlman voices the hero's father who began what is led to the plot concept, which is to say it leads to nothing of any great importance. While action scenes are overlong the film is somewhat disappointing from a plot standpoint. The animation is dazzling to the eye but the plot isn't overly deep. Score: 4 ½ / 10

Titan A.E. is very similar to Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet (And to a lesser extent, Dreamwork's Road to El Dorado). All three are early 2000 American sci-fi 2D animated films where a rag-tag team uncover a great mystery and journey into a fantastic world(s). They were also the last nails in the coffin for American, big-budget, traditional animation. Now, we only have 3D digital animation in our theaters.It'd be more tragic if they were actually good. :VThe problem with this triple feature is that they're too mature to be good family movies, but too derivative to be good adult movies. Titan A.E. is far from a masterpiece. Its a passable sci-fi film at best.The animation is good. And in terms of scope, few western animations bother to be this ambitious. Too bad its plot offers nothing original to the table. The characters have all been done before - the hot-headed, athletic male lead, the female love interest, the guy whose in it for the money, the wacky scientist, and the evil, evil, evil alien villains. While everything has already been done, Titan A.E. lacks depth, and creativity beyond the aesthetic.Okay, maybe I'm being too harsh on the film. Like others, I did grow up with it. My family checked it out multiple times from the local library. It was pretty cool when I was, like, 9. And quite a few have good memories of the three. So maybe they aren't bad family films after all. They are never insufferable, and can be adventurous. exciting, even magical...from a kid's point of view. You won't be frustrated by watching this with your children. But, considering all the movies that are out there, do you need to limit yourself to just these three? I dunno.Going in alone? It depends on your tolerance for the typical, and love of animated art. If you're fine in either category, you should check this out, plus the others. I'm not a huge fan, but I have some sort of respect. But if you're seeking more, I'm afraid Titan A.E. doesn't deliver.
