In the year 3028, Earth's days are numbered, and a nasty race known as the Drej are doing the numbering. As he's about to escape the final blast, young Cale promises his father he'll come back, and accepts his dad's ring as a symbol of the pledge. Fifteen years later, Cale (Matt Damon) journeys across the galaxy with his father's old comrade, Korso (Bill Pullman), and the beautiful Akima (Drew Barrymore), searching for the Titan, an old spaceship that may be the last hope for hordes of nomadic earthlings -- with the Drej in hot pursuit. Veteran animator Don Bluth (Anastasia, Disney's Robin Hood) blasts audiences off to a universe of dazzling special effects, mixing traditional animation with computer-generated graphics in a story that recalls Star Wars and serials of the '30s and '40s. Exciting voice performances by Damon, Pullman, and Barrymore are accompanied by a stellar soundtrack featuring the guitar-grinding rock of Lit and Powerman 5000, as well as the millennium space-age funk of Jamiroquai and Luscious Jackson. A box-office no-show in the theaters, Titan A.E. is a blast on the home screen, where its electrifying space adventure unfolds with frenzied fun. The THX-certified Special Edition DVD release also includes commentary from the directors, a making-of featurette, deleted scenes, trailers, stills, and more. Jason Bergenfeld

All Movie Guide

Titan A.E. combines cel and CG imagery in this science fiction saga. In 3028, after the Earth is destroyed by an invading alien race, a tiny number of surviving humans roam the universe in ragtag spaceships, trying to find each other and maintain some sense of community. Shortly before the final destruction of the planet, Cale (voice of Matt Damon) was given a map that would guide him to a space station called Titan, secretly constructed as a last hope in the event of alien Armageddon. Cale sets out in search of Titan and the fabled Ice Planet with the help of his friend Korso (voice of Bill Pullman), the beautiful Akima (voice of Drew Barrymore), and a crew of friendly aliens. Titan A.E. was directed by noted animators Don Bluth and Gary Goldman and scripted by Ben Edlund, creator of the comic book series The Tick. Other members of the voice cast include Nathan Lane, Janeane Garofalo, John Leguizamo, and Tone Loc. Mark Deming
