Directors Don Bluth and Gary Goldman (ANASTASIA) make their first foray into science fiction with this film, which is the first U.S.-produced animated science fiction film in more than 20 years. The story is a classic bildungsroman, following the journey of Cale, a young man who holds the destiny of humankind in his hand--literally. Opening with the stunning destruction of earth as seen from space, the film launches the audience into a seamlessly imagined universe in which the alien Drej have turned humans into homeless émigrés, searching desperately for a new world. Cale (voiced by Matt Damon) is haunted by the legacy of his father, who abandoned him but created the spaceship Titan, which holds the key to the new home of humankind. With the plan for Titan imprinted in his hand, Cale is swept from a life of lonely drudgery devoid of female companionship into the colorful crew of mysterious Captain Korso (voiced by Bill Pullman). On the Valkyrie ship, Cale enjoys Korso's crew, including the kind, beautiful, and expert woman pilot Akima (voiced by Drew Barrymore) along with a strange but fascinating band of aliens. [More]

An ill-conceived and overambitious animation blowout.

This feature-length sci-fi cartoon is suggestive of nothing so much as Saturday-morning TV.

A long-winded story, uninspired characters and lackluster off-screen performances.

What we're left with is lots of pretension but little genuine tension.

Solidly entertaining, brilliantly illustrated and impressively speculative.

An ambitious animated film that at least attempts to aim for something different, but is impaired by its hackneyed plot.

One of those children's movies that is made for especially dim or easily fooled children.

Doesn't even exhibit the visual verve evident in the Star Wars.
