I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

... View MoreFor some reason this film came and disappeared at the box office. Titan A.E is a science fiction animation flick consisting of fantastic visuals and a good story about a young man who has to find a hidden spaceship in order to find the overlord aliens. It's a middling affair to be honest and the pacing lags but the visuals are the reason to commend the makers of this film.
... View MoreOverall 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.
... View MoreWith a rather believable premise, Titan A.E. is no doubt a fascinating movie to hear about in conversations. When you actually watch it, though, expect it to just barely exceed expectations. The story emphasizes action over its other elements, and though the action is OK, the rest of its composition leads it to be predictable in a few places. To its credit, though, the plot twists were very nice and didn't seem all that out of the blue. The characters aren't boring and some can even be relatable, but they end up being more tolerable than fun to watch. The main strength of its film is that by 2000 standards, the animation is well mixed and brings out some nice effects. They aren't blowout awesome like The Iron Giant, but I still went "Whoa" at a few points. The songs were average, being the typical turn of the millennium pop songs that aren't catchy or insulting to the ears. Thought should be taken by you before you see it, but I would give the green light if you're a Bluth buff or are just super curious.
... View MoreThis animated feature deserves far more then a nominal 6 on IMDb, typically I think usual rankings are close to what is deserved, but not this. Its a animation, so it has a strike against it in many peoples eyes, since certain audiences will never take it serious enough. It delves into fairly complex themes , including betrayal, redemption, failure , its much darker then a typical flick of this nature. But in the same mention, its not so "adult" that you cannot enjoy this with the family. I wont give it a 9 or 10, those rankings are rarely deserving to give out, but this work needs to have more light brought to it.
