Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2000 film Titan A.E.
Story
The premise is interesting, but the story is just another take on Treasure Island. The world building and character arcs are interesting, but the end felt a little forced.
Score: 0.5
Characters
Loved the security chief and astrophysicist. The rest were meh. Nice redemption arc for the captain.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
The dialogue is painfully bad. Too much exposition and whining. Not to mention the love story dialogue was extremely awkward, and I don’t mean in a good way.
Score: 0
Visuals and Music
The animation was finished by multiple companies and it shows in their quality. The ships are amazing, the people are passable, but some of the locations look like they never got rendered. The planet Bob at the end looked like an bonus feature scene.
The soundtrack was nostalgic for me and filled with awesome music. The non-pop music was good.
Score: 0.5
Fun
Despite its flaws, it kept everyone on the edge of their seats. The kids liked it and so did the adults.
Score: 1
Overall
An ambitious film that pushed the boundaries of animation, unfortunately its flaws in dialogue and wildly fluctuating quality of animation hurts the film. If you really want to watch Treasure Island in space, rewatch Treasure Planet instead.
Final Score: 2.5 Stars out of 5
