Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
An animated space adventure set in 3028 with lantern-jawed antagonists and a far from novel plot. Mankind's foe is a spindly alien breed, the Drej, which has devastated Earth. Humans are intergalactic outcasts, whose salvation lies with petulant Cale. He holds the key to the Titan, a ship constructed by his father, which could restore civilisation; he teams with strappingly cynical Han Solo-type Captain Korso, enigmatic beauty Akima and an alien crew. Blending blood and romance, the film has a bouncy soundtrack and impressive FX. Visually, it's engrossing, but it'll have cross-generational sci-fi fans hankering for Star Wars rather than hailing an animated revolution.Author: AHa
