She and her captain, Korso (voiced by Bill Pullman), and the navigator, Gune (John Leguizamo), set out to locate the vital Titan before the evil Drej can exterminate it along with mankind's future hope of existence. Cale meets a young woman named Akima (voiced by Drew Barrymore), who cherishes conventional memorabilia of her late planet. Cale doesn't know it yet, but he holds the key to the survival of the human race with a genetically coded map on his hand showing the course to the hidden position of a special spacecraft called the Titan. Cale (voiced by Matt Damon) is a young man working as a space dump attendant who believes his father abandoned him when he was a child. Planet Earth has been demolished by a cruel species called the Drej, who fear the potential intelligence of the human race. The production takes place twenty-eight years after the third millennium. This is the kind of cartoon that is mature to the level in which the characters and set designs could have been replaced with live action filmmaking without changing the movie's perspective. Directors Don Bluth and Gary Goldman enthrall the audience with a sweeping sense of atmosphere and action. The film's animation is wonderfully spectacular, visually enticing and entirely convincing. (2000) *** (out of four) "Titan A.E." is like a giant looming over movie animation landscape it is one of the most visually bracing family fantasy adventures to come down the pike in years. BTW, this movie is great for family viewing. So if you're turned off by anime, check this one out anyway. It doesn't really have that "anime" feel to it. Anyhow, if you care a whit about sci-fi, don't miss this one even if it is animated. I try to review on an entertainment level only.yeah, I suppose I'm the shallow guy who only sees what's right up front. As usual, I'll leave all the technical discussions to other reviewers (of which there are a multitude). So, again, I watched and enjoyed this unappreciated great creation. Luckily a friend, knowing I liked this movie, gave me a DVD he'd bought and no longer wanted. I was sort of disappointed at how this one just sort of dried up and blew away (I don't even think it played a whole week at the theatre). Didn't bother me in the least-in fact I like that kind of thing. And I noticed this movie had a lot of Starwars references, but who cares. I really liked the scene with the giant ice crystals, and the sound effects during that scene were awesome. And that Goon character was just fantastic. He seemed to "click" as a normal guy you wouldn't mind being identified with. Most of em didn't really seem impressed but I really thought it rocked. The first time I saw this I was 13 or 14.
