This movie is the definition of the Animation Age Ghetto. Its target audience wasn't interested in it, so it flopped. Its not a kids movie; its a movie for preteens and teens. But it didn't really quite ever make up its mind. The movie is overall quite decent; while it got poor reviews its really not bad. Its a decent movie. It also has the ultimate bit of Fridge Logic - years after the fact, I finally got that the Drej, the energy beings, had been entirely justified in attacking the Earth as they ended up doing exactly what the Drej were afraid of, using it as a weapon against them. The movie is not amazing, but its not terrible. It has a decent enough plot, and the characters are fine. Its worth watching, but its not a must-see movie.

Really? 48? I thought this was pretty good, if a bit cliched a times. But, again, no one outside of the Village cares what the Village Voice thinks.

It's a great movie with an excellent soundtrack. The voice acting is top notch with people like Matt Damon, Bull Pullman, and Nathan Lane. The characters were fun and you can relate to them in some way. I believe that this is one of the most underrated movies of all time. It was a fun concept and the CGI was awesome. The only complaint I have is that it should have been live action or 100% animation, not something in between. It was a little disorienting to watch because of the mix of CGI and hand drawn cartoons. If you can get past that, this is a great film for any Science Fiction fan!

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?
