Plot Summary

One thousand years from now, aliens destroy Earth in fear of the Titan project. Some humans escape, becoming a downtrodden Diaspora, living in impoverished settlements. The mysterious Titan spacecraft also escapes, and its inventor has hidden it before dying. A spacecraft captain and its pilot, Korso and Akima, two humans, seek out Cale, the youthful son of the dead scientist and explain that he must help them find the Titan, which holds a mechanism to unite and save humanity. Cale refuses, but the arrival of the killer aliens persuades him to join Korso. Can he avoid his pursuers, know friend from foe, find the Titan, and embrace his humanity, a nature he has despised until now?

IMDB User Comments

Graphics, simple characterization and good ending: would more could you want? Earth gets blown to smithereens by the Drej. The Drej are pure energy aliens who do not like the Titan: the unbelievable creation of Cale's father who vanishes fifteen years later where the actual story begins as well. It's now Cale's job to find the Titan before those evil aliens get there first. Excellent movie, with awesome graphics and cartoon animation has cult following written all over it. TITAN A.E. succeeds in keeping itself simple too: something recent animations (minus DINOSAUR) have had a hard time doing. Although the simplicity does not last too long (*sigh* the temporary replacement of conspiracy over action was really dumb), TITAN A.E. still manages to move us, as people will root for humanity. An overall satisfying ending, TITAN A.E. is one to be seen on the big screen and if you rent it, chances are you will probably question yourself what the effects looked like in the theater, and you will kick yourself because that's really the only way to enjoy it.
