Product Description

Amazon.ca

A visual knockout, Titan A.E. is an ambitious animated feature that combines traditional animations, computer-generated imagery, and special effects in the service of a science fiction adventure plotted with narrative conventions familiar from Star Wars and Star Trek. Credit directors Don Bluth (An American Tail, The Secret of NIMH, Anastasia) and Gary Goldman with crafting a vivid, convincing look to this deep space saga, which conjures some stunning images. A tense opening sequence climaxing in the destruction of Earth, a watery planet where delicate but deadly hydrogen trees float, joyriding in a starship while pursued by playful "space angels," and a nerve-wracking journey through a lethal maze of massive ice crystals each qualify as mesmerizing sequences in any film context.

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

Product Description

A reluctant young hero holds the key to the future of mankind in the palm of his hand in this eye-popping, sci-fi adventure. In the year 3028 the Drej, a vicious alien race, has destroyed earth. Fifteen years later a young man named Cale learns he possesses a genetically encoded map to the Titan, a spaceship that holds the secret to the salvation of the human race. With the Drej in hot pursuit, Cale blasts off with the crew of the Valkyrie in an attempt to find the Titan before the Drej destroy it - and with it, mankind's last chance for a home of their own. Featuring an all-star voice cast that includes Matt Damon and Drew Barrymore and an edgy, out of this world soundtrack, Titan A.E. is an intergalactic thrill ride for a new generation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Story even flatter than the art Oct 12 2001
By David Gressett
Format:DVD
The art of this film had some interesting concepts, but really does not deserve all the acclaim it received. I found it comparable to a well drawn comic-book; but the emotional content of the characters was not believable at all.
The story, well, what can I say. Comic book level again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Booooorrrrring Oct 12 2001
By "kgphipps"
Format:DVD
My two stars for solely for the animation. Besides that, this movie lacked any kind of hook. I never grew to like any of the main characters particularly, the storyline was weak, and the ending was totally predictable. I wish we would've rented this one before we bought it, so we would've bought a real movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars A gorgeous looking animated film with a stupid plot Oct 3 2001
By "snootchiebootchies"
Format:DVD
I don't believe there are any more limits as to what we can see at the movies. This animated film is not only gorgeous to look at, it also takes the viewer to worlds that can only be imagined in the most creative of minds. The cat-and-mouse chase around the ice rings of Tigrin is one of the most impressive movie sequences I've ever seen. Moreover, another sequence involving a high-speed chase through trees with balloon-like leaves filled with hydrogen gas left me breathless. It's too bad that besides this animated visual feast, there really isn't anything else offered by the film. The characters are uniformly boring and the dialogue must be aimed at retarded infants. The soundtrack is also peppered with pretty bad generic alt-rock. And I could not believe the size of the holes in the plot. The writers didn't even expend the energy to explain why the Drej are trying to destroy humanity, which, you would think, ought to have been a priority considering that it sets up the entire movie. I guess the writers' laziness can be kinda fun if you make a game out of trying to name all the movies that they rip off. But yeah, see it just for the "ice rings of Tigrin" sequence. And try to see it with full surround-sound. Wow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visuals!
Some of the most beautiful visuals of any movie to grace the screen. Should appeal to fans of Star Wars style action. Too intense for the wee ones though.
