It nails the visuals almost perfectly, save for some drej parts. Casting is nice. Unfortunately, hollywood is spilled all over everything else, especially story, characters and dialogue. It's not a BAD movie, but a mixed bag that ought to be named Cliche A.E.. It starts off decent, but once that plot twist enters, the cliches almost destroy the film.

This movie has an awesome storyline that could be pheasable in a real live movie. not only do the characters seem real to life but the plot is never boring and brings a sense of longing we all have to discover what lies beyond our earth, but also why we should treasure it.

What i found most jarring about titan ae, however, was the uneasy blending of traditional animation with state of the art cgi. i suppose it suggests cgi isn't advanced enough to create fully satisfying human characters. but it also suggests the makers of this movie didn't have a clue as to what works and what doesn't. the two styles of animation undermine the other and we never lose ourselves into a congruently believable world. do i want to see a turtle-faced creature that looks like peter lorre and a squatting half kangaroo girl(both belonging to saturday morning cartoons)in a movie that promises the coolest in the latest sci-fi technology?

I feel compelled to fight a monstrous injustice. People keep insisting Titan AE is not a good film. Even the normally-reliable William Gallagher on BBCi gave it one out of five. On the contrary. Titan AE is no great classic, but it's a great little space opera o' shooters and ships, corridors and big old humanoid dingo chaps with loose skin. It won't tax your brain, but by THUNDER it'll awaken your adrenalin. Besides, Joss Whedon was involved in the prelimanary storyboard, and nothing that Whedon touches can possibly be bad in any way, shape or form.

Nice animation, sound, etc. Much better than Disney, but still a kid's movie.
Henry B. gave it a 7:
Talk about modern animation. This movie certain's got the eye candy cartoon freaks are looking for.
