Movie Review: Titan A.E.

Just saw this last night (Tuesday). It's an animated space opera,
basically. Most of the scenery is computer graphics, and it's pretty
great
visually; the characters are all hand-drawn animation and are pretty...
annoying, actually.

Some very cool space stations & ships. The various asteroid stations and
'Drifter colonies' are very cool.

Storywise & for characters, it's a weak movie... Most of the characters
are pretty one-dimensional, the 'hero' whines way too much, most of the
aliens are there for laughs... This is Hollywood's take on anime,
basically. See it for inspiration for your FT modelling - I want to find
some screenshots on the web - and not for the characters & plot...
(plot:
simple; ending: silly...)

It does have nasty alien badguys (who blow Earth up) who are probably
the
coolest-looking things in the movie.

Verdict: Worth getting to if you can get in cheap (Tuesday is
cheap-movie
night in town) or wait and see it on video for the visuals...

Anyone else seen it?
