But in reality your trying to say slow down and explain your reasoning for this movie. The events happened way too quick. Also that one character, I think his name is Tech, was so quick to be off the screen and you don't even no his importance. for the future you need to explain the events. Expand

An incredible flawed movie I like. I would say that the worst part of this movie is that it doesn't give itself time to breathe and a piercing is way too fast. I also think they should have given themselves more time to create it just an hourAn incredible flawed movie I like. I would say that the worst part of this movie is that it doesn't give itself time to breathe and a piercing is way too fast. I also think they should have given themselves more time to create it just an hour and a half is a bit too short for it. But I enjoy this incredible floor movie Expand

It's alright. I don't think it's quite up to the standard of Don Bluth's earlier films like The Land Before Time, but it's not bad. The CGI and animation blend together fairly well.

It's alright. I don't think it's quite up to the standard of Don Bluth's earlier films like The Land Before Time, but it's not bad. The CGI and animation blend together fairly well.

I always found the film rather thought provoking, because I first watched it while I was playing Mass Effect, and one central idea in the film captured my imagination. Cause see, humanity at the beginning of the movie almost goes extinct. They're scattered to the far reaches of the galaxy as refugees. The main character, a young teenage male named Cale Tucker, is stuck working at an asteroid salvage yard. He's kinda lonely there, surrounded by aliens. Luckily, he eventually encounters an attractive human girl named Akima.

Now, what I always wondered was what would have happened if he had never lucked into finding another human girl? What if he really was alone on that alien asteroid facility? This is a teenage guy, after all. How do you deal with being horny all the time without having any chance for sex? Sure, you can masturbate, but how long can you do that before pondering the possibility of having sex with an alien girl? It's kinda gross and disturbing, because that would be bestiality, but eventually you'd have to consider it, right? The months and years pass by. Is he able to hold onto his humanity? Will he give into his hormones and try to romance and **** an alien?

It's something to think about.

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.

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. Expand

A solid but unremarkable movie. On paper this movie does everything right. However for me it never gets immersive and enjoyable enough to be rememberable.

However for me it never gets immersive and enjoyable enough to be rememberable. It was a box office failure and caused the termination of Fox Animated Studios (Even if it was not that awful or garbage). I questioned myself for a long time what this movie is missing. I came to the conclusion that unremarkable while being a fitting description is not clarifying enough. The characters are mostly not immersive and could barely win me over at the end, the story takes too much time which includes uninteresting parts, there are not many highlights and the worldbuilding which is a strength show's only small fractions. With the last I mean they neglect the show not tell rule in movies. A lot is explained that would be far better (and awesome) if it was shown or sometimes shown in more details (impacts, better / longer set up etc). The plot is set in the 31 century. Mankind has technologically evolved and explored space meeting several alien species. However the recent technological advancement also alarmed the Drej which are energy based advanced aliens. Humanity is on the brink of becoming dangerous for them and they dont take this kindly. It is the story Cale Tucker whose father was a remarkable scientist and this catches up to him. Here I stop. Like I said on paper the story is good and I could retell it in a way that you will be hyped. However the actual experience is weaker and I was thinking to quit watching a few times or use the fast forward option. The characters are also solid but not remarkable. I think Cale Tucker is not a good protagonist. I find Joseph Korso, Preedex Yoa and Akima Kunimoto are better characters. I say it is an acceptable cast with some strengths and no awful mistakes but too less great moments. Animation wise it is a good movie. I think everything looks good and there is nothing to critize here. The voice cast hast a lot of big names with for example Ron Pearlman, Drew Barrymore, Matt Damon and Bill Pullman. I think we good a good performance here and all errors are at least partly blame able on the script. The soundtrack is fine too. Overall it is an unremarkable movie. It has its meits and you can see sparkles of great ideas. However the negatives hold this movie back. It is a perfect example for a 5/10 rating for me. Expand

Traditional animation was already falling out of favor when Bluth’s Titan A.E. dropped into a market that would sink other similar sci-fi products (WB’s Iron Giant, and Disney’s Atlantis and Treasure Planet).

Fox Animation Studios would close soon after, six years after its inception. Expand
