Reviews from Letterboxd

1. Ess2s2 – ★★★★☆
   “Fun, crazy space action. Cel and CGI animation flirting heavily. Star studded voice cast. Banging soundtrack. Not for snooty‑patooties.”

2. HKFanatic – ★★★★☆
   “A film that will take you back to the days of JNCO jeans, Total Request Live, and hanging chads. I dare say anyone who was older than, say, age sixteen when this movie came out will probably not find much appealing here; but watching “Titan A.E.” in the year 2024, I have to say it certainly tickled my nostalgia bone, with its ‘Don Bluth for the MTV Generation’ animation style, soundtrack medley of nu‑metal and commercial alt‑rock, very of‑the‑moment voice casting (Matt Damon! Drew Barrymore!), and its ever‑so‑slightly edgy PG‑13 attitude.”

3. clairacurtis – ★★★☆☆
   “Really interesting to see a Bluth film that dabbles in the computer‑generated space. It doesn’t always look the best, as was the case with many of these early CG‑animated films, but I really admire the bigger swing. The use of CG works especially well for the main enemy whose physical embodiment is so different than the humans and aliens we see. A lot of Titan A.E. ultimately lands in a middling place, which is a bit of bummer.”

   “You heard me, Titan A.E. is a fantastic movie. It doesn’t top The Secret of NIMH, but it’s loads better than Anastasia! This is one of the most phenomenal looking animation I have ever seen that’s not Disney; the 2D and CGI blend seamlessly and the designs are out of the park, especially for the evil alien race. The characters aren’t the most well developed, but I was into them OK. It’s a very original concept with some familiarity, but will you ever see another animated sci‑fi like this ever again???, I honestly loved the edgier content (not every animated film can be for the kiddies, though I would rather show my kids this over Ice Age any day of the week), the music’s awesome, and the whole experience left by brain melting at the sheer spectacle of it all.”

Meta Description:
Boldly blending traditional hand-drawn visuals with early CGI, Titan A.E. (2000) follows a resourceful young man’s quest to unlock a world-building ship and ignite hope for humanity amid cosmic peril—a visually stunning cult sci-fi adventure.
