Summary

In the dawn of the 31st century, deep space travel has become a daily routine for the human race, who have by now used their advanced technology to reach into the deepest reaches of the Galaxy, pursuing domination. The film opens with protagonist Cale's father stating that mankind's future is forever altered whenever a secret of the universe is unlocked (fire, electricity, nuclear fission, etc.). By the dawn of the 31st Century, mankind has unlocked another secret; codenamed "Project Titan". Although this discovery has a peaceful purpose, an energy-composed alien race called the Drej see it as a threat to their existence. Image File history File links Broom_icon. ...

In the year 3028 A.D., on the outskirts of Pierce, Colorado, young Cale Tucker is testing out an invention he made at a brook when a flock of panicked birds flies by, indicating an approaching dust storm. The brook turns violent, breaking Cale's invention and almost causing Cale to lose it. Sam Tucker, Cale's father, rescues the invention and tells Cale that now is not the time to fix it, because the Drej, having found out about the secret Titan ship, are attacking Earth, in response to which the Earth's President has ordered an immediate evacuation of the planet in case the Earth's GDS (Global Defense System) fails to drive off the attackers. Pierce is a town located in Weld County, Colorado. ...

While Sam and Cale wait for transport, Cale spots a fleet of V/STOL aircraft heading towards the Spaceport. A hover jeep, driven by Joseph Korso and Sam's alien friend Tek, takes the Tuckers to the Spaceport, where streams of refugees are boarding the spaceships there (when Cale asks where everybody's going, Sam answers they're going somewhere safe from the Drej). The jeep stops near a spaceship reserved for relatives of the scientists involved in Project Titan. To Cale's horror, Sam chooses to stay behind, giving Cale a ring just as Korso reveals that the Drej have succeeded in breaching the GDS. Tek takes Cale aboard the ship, while Sam takes the hover jeep over to the Titan's secret underground hangar (cleverly concealed by a 20th-Century barn) and boards the Titan just as the giant hangar doors open.

Earth, meanwhile, is being attacked by the Drej. Their mothership sends a squadron of smaller "stingers" to attack Earth and some of the escaping Earth ships just as hundreds of space vehicles manage to escape with mankind aboard. The fighter ships return to the mothership just as the Drej Queen orders the immediate destruction of Earth. The Drej mothership then fires a powerful energy beam toward the North Pole, just as the Titan is launched from its secret hangar and disappears into the depths of space. The energy beam causes Earth to spin faster and faster until centrifugal force blows the planet to pieces. Magma and chunks of the tectonic plates fly out into space, blowing up the Moon and destroying many escape ships. The debris then gives way to the main title.

Fifteen years later, in 3043, Cale, having been raised and protected by Tek, works on a salvage station built into an asteroid, Tau 14, making out a rough life and hating his father for having disappeared aboard the Titan so long ago. Without a home planet, surviving humans have been reduced to outer-space drifters and are constantly bullied by other space-faring races. Cale feels this when the aliens working at Tau 14 stop him entering the express line, forcing him to try using the docking port, in which the spaceship Valkyrie comes. Cale catches a glimpse of Akima, the ship's pilot, and tries to hide his affections for her by pretending to wash the canopy roof. Fifteen may refer to: 15, the cardinal number between 14 and 16 The year 15 Fifteen, a chain of restaurants created by Jamie Oliver Fifteen, a teen soap on Nickelodeon during the 1990s (known in Canada as Hillside) Fifteen, the punk rock band Fifteen (15), the movie Fifteen, 2006 Buckcherry...

Inside, the ship's cockroach-like cook will only serve Cale disgusting alien food and everyone becomes weightless when the salvage station's faulty gravity generator malfunctions. Tek's advice fails to comfort Cale, who is later beaten by two bullies. Korso intervenes and later explains that he is seeking Cale because in the DNA-encrypted ring Sam gave to Cale is a map by which they may find the Titan and unite all of humanity, providing them with another chance at life and battle against the Drej. For other uses, see Cockroaches. ... The structure of part of a DNA double helix Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is a nucleic acid molecule that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. ...

During the converstation, three Drej soldiers enter the salvage station. Korso explains to Cale the Drej wish to destroy him to conceal the map. The Drej then start firing at Cale and Korso, but Cale manages to stall them by telling Korso to shoot the gravity generator, which Korso does. Cale then asks Tek to come along, though Tek insists on staying. Cale and Korso make it to the kitchen where they follow the cook into the station's air vents. The two humans then disappear down another vent, leaving the cook to face the Drej. The cook tries to save his hide by telling the Drej where the two humans went, and the Drej "thank" him by blasting him with their ray guns. The blast makes the cook swell up like a balloon and explode into a pile of smelly goo, not to mention a pair of teeth.

Realizing they need to get out of the station, Cale and Korso discover an escape pod and stall the Drej by blowing up a fuel drum. The pod won't start, so Cale has to get out and hotwire it, just as more Drej units infiltrate the station. Cale manages to get into the pod with Korso, but not before a couple of Drej blasts pierce the skin on his arm and leg. Korso manages to pilot the pod up through a glass roof and heads right for the docking port. Alternate meaning: Hotwire (filesharing protocol) Hotwiring is the process of bypassing an automobiles ignition interlock and thus starting it without the key. ...

During the ride out, the pod's engines are ripped off by some closing airlock doors and it crashes its way out of the docking port by blowing up the hatch. Just as Korso thinks they're out of danger, Cale notices the pod's glass canopy is starting to crack. While the cracks are extending, since Akima won't make it to them before the canopy completly shatters, Korso orders Cale to exhale and kicks through the cracking glass. Then, using a fire extinguisher as a rocket, Korso seizes Cale and pulls him out into the vacuum of space, without the protection of spacesuits, and manages to make it into the Valkyrie's cargo hold just before they explode from decompression. The Valkyrie then makes a leap into hyperspace before the Drej fighter ships can attack.

With Akima's help, Cale has his blast wounds healed and thus begins his race across the Universe with Korso and his ship and crew, including: Preed, a wisecracking, English-accented, rat-like humanoid (an Akrennian) who is Korso's first mate; Gune, an eccentric, green-skinned scientist (a Grepcan); and Stith, a tough, hard-as-nails female weapons expert who resembles something of a kangaroo (a Soggwan).

In common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family, the Red Kangaroo, the Antilopine Kangaroo, and the Eastern and Western Grey Kangaroo...

The map first leads them to a a seemingly dead planet, Sesharrim, littered with explosive Hydrogen Trees above the water. Cale, Akima, Korso, and Stith travel to a temple by boat, leaving Gune and Preed to guard the ship and look out for the Drej. At the temple, the search party meets with the planet's inhabitants, a bird-like race, the Gaol, and at first the Gaol dispise the intruders until Cale explains he and his friends are on Sesharrim to look for the Titan. The Gaol leader looks at Cale's hand and instructs him to hold his hand up to the planet's broken moon. Korso and Akima notice it's pointing towards a nebula, and Cale feels glad to know that his father came to Sesharrim fifteen years ago.

Meanwhile, Preed isn't paying attention to the radar screen as he's using the ship's guns to try and shoot an elusive cricket like insect. Gune, paying more attention to the radar, spots the Drej fighter ships on radar and immediatly alerts Korso. Stith and the humans take to the boat and shot down several Drej ships and use the explosive Hydrogen Trees to deal with the rest. The Drej manage to blow up the boat, but the Gaol, remembering instructions from Sam Tucker, pick up Stith and the humans and start to fly them to safety. The Drej, however, shoot down some of the Gaol. During the attack, Akima notices that the Drej aren't shooting at Cale, which means they want him alive and not dead as originally thought. Preed and Gune come along and shoot down what's left of the Drej ships, only to leave one ship which kidnaps Cale and Akima and takes them back to their mothership. En route, Cale asks Akima why the Drej want to destroy mankind and what mankind did to the Drej just to deserve the loss of Earth. She responds that humanity did nothing to the Drej but the Drej are afraid of what humanity might become, and at the same time explains to Cale about her life on drifter colonies.

On the mothership, the Drej Queen uses the map to locate the Titan. She orders Cale imprisoned and Akima to be sent to a slaver station within a Drej escape pod. Having found out where Akima is, Korso, Preed and Stith board the slaver station. Preed tries to get in to the slave cells by disguising Korso as a slave, but the guards see through it since Preed used bedsheets. Akima, meanwhile, is being looked over by the guards who brought her in, and after they open the pod, she beats them up and manages to come across her rescuers.

Meanwhile, Cale sits in his cell in the Drej Mothership fretting over Akima, until he discovers that by using two fingers to push apart the energy, he can escape his cell. On the way out, Cale hides from the guards, and when the Drej Queen orders several fighter ships to go to the nebula, Cale makes his way aboard one of the ships and manages to evade the Drej undetected.

Cale manages to pilot the Drej ship to the Valkyrie, and after a small confrontation follows, Cale sends Korso a number-code to identify himself. Korso intercepts the code, and allows Cale inside. Cale informs them that the Drej have copied the map, but Gune examines it once more, and realises that it is pointing to a nebula known as the Ice Rings of Tigrin. Later on, Korso shows Cale how to pilot the ship and race some Wake Angels (creatures rumored by star pilots to be good luck) for fun. The Triangulum Emission Nebula NGC 604 The Pillars of Creation from the Eagle Nebula For other uses, see Nebula (disambiguation). ...

Before long, after they stop at the New Bangkok drifter colony for supplies, Cale and Akima find out, through a conversation between Korso and a Drej Queen hologram, that Korso is searching for the Titan in order to hand it over to the Drej for money (it was actually an argument in which Korso accused the Drej Oueen of violating their agreement on Sesharrim, since the Drej attacked an undeveloped race and the Gaol were undeveloped). In the ensuing confrontation, Korso reveals that the Drej have long killed Sam Tucker (who refused to tell them where the Titan is hidden), and that he believes that it makes no difference whether or not the human race find another home, since the Drej will keep pursuing them until they are all wiped out. They narrowly escape from him and Preed, who is working with Korso, only to become stranded on the drifter colony.

While at New Bangkok, Cale and Akima are helped by the colony's elder women. When Cale sees a boy invent a new sport, he remembers the invention he made during Earth's final hour and the good times he used to have with his father before that terrible day. Cale and Akima manage to repair one of the wrecked spacecraft on the station, the Phoenix, and use it to make their way to the Ice Rings of Tigrin, in which the Titan has been hidden. With Korso in hot pursuit, a cat-and-mouse chase ensues, but Cale and Akima eventually manage to evade Korso, finding the Titan at last.

Within the Titan, Cale and Akima discover that Professor Tucker had been one of the main architects in designing the craft. The designers, anticipating the destruction of Earth, gave the Titan the ability to create a new planet and loaded it with the DNA of every living Earth species for the purpose of repopulating the new world. Unfortunately, according to a holographic message left by Sam Tucker for Cale, the ship's energy has been long since drained and the process cannot be activated.

Korso finds and boards the Titan, accompanied by Preed. Preed leaves Stith and Gune a communication watch, which later turns out to have been a bomb (Korso needed Stith and Gune out of the way), and Gune apparently sacrifices himself to detonate the bomb away from Stith. Korso and Preed confront Cale and Akima. Cale tries to reason with Korso, but he doesn't listen. Then, Preed turns on Korso, having been promised his life and a substantial amount of money by the Drej in exchange for him killing Cale, Akima and Korso (presumably, the map copy the Drej intercepted didn't work, and they turned to Preed for help). However, Preed hesitates, and a confrontation follows, in which Preed single-handedly defeats his three opponents until Korso sneaks up from behind and kills Preed by breaking his neck. Korso then fights with Cale before falling over a railing. Cale grabs hold of Korso's hand, trying to save him as Korso goads him to let him fall to his death. Cale refuses to let go, but Korso slips from Cale's grip and falls. However, Korso survives by hanging onto a rope. Akima and Cale, joined by Stith, then work together to defend the Titan against the impending Drej attack, and Cale realizes that the energy comprising the Drej and their ships may be used to power up the Titan's systems, and they work to bring the vessel online, until they see that one of the circuits is jammed.

As Cale gets into a space suit to see to the problem himself, Akima and Stith use the Titan's guns to counterattack the Drej ships and keep them away from Cale. The Drej ships destroy the guns and leave Cale and the Titan as sitting ducks, until Gune, who miraculously survived the explosion, pilots the Valkyrie to fight the Drej ships, but manages to damage one which pins Cale against the Titan's outer wall.

Korso shows up again, but unexpectedly frees Cale, realizing that they might just have a chance to defeat the Drej after all, and continues to fire at the ships to cover Cale. The ships then return to the mothership, which is preparing to fire in the same method it used to destroy Earth. Korso joins Cale in the circuitry room, and persuades him to use his ring to power up the system while he sacrifices himself to bridge the jammed circuit with his gun (to redeem himself for trying to kill them earlier). Reluctantly, Cale agrees, and bids farewell to his friend. Korso, bleeding to death after a blast from a Drej ship, uses his final moments to bridge the circuit, losing his life in the process as the Drej mothership fires a destructive beam at the Titan. Cale, at the last moment, uses the ring to channel the beam's power into its system. The Titan powers up and drains all the Drej energy, disintegrating the Queen and the mothership and creating a new Earth out of the Ice Rings.

The film ends with Akima and Cale standing upon their newly-created world, with Stith and Gune flying above them aboard the Valkyrie, and bidding their friends good-bye just as they prepare to kiss. Akima wants to name the planet "New Earth," while Cale suggests naming it "Bob" as a joke. The final scene is of the human refugees in the spaceships coming to the planet labeled "New Earth [Planet Bob]." It is now the year 16 A. E. (After Earth). Events A Roman army of 90,000 men commanded by Germanicus gains a victory at Idistaviso, defeating the German war chief Arminius and capturing his wife Thusnelda, and recovering the lost eagles of Varus legions. ...

Reception

Titan A.E. was not financially successful. After it made only $9,376,845 during its opening weekend, Fox Animation Studios was shut down. The film only grossed a total of $22,753,426 in theaters. Fox Animation Studios was a short-lived traditional animation studio, a division of 20th Century Fox, headed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman. ...

One of the reasons most commonly given for the financial failure of Titan A.E. is its poorly identified target audience.^{[citation needed]} People were unsure, having seen trailers for the film, if it were intended for the older sci-fi fan crowd, or whether it was pitched more at children.^{[citation needed]} This confusion was further increased by the mixture of people used to write and direct the production. Joss Whedon, was, at the time, famous for the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer as well as for making contributions to films such as Speed and Disney/Pixar's G-rated family CGI hit Toy Story, whereas Don Bluth and Gary Goldman were more noted for creating also G-rated children's cartoons such as The Secret of NIMH and Anastasia. Bluth later added to the confusion when he stated during an interview with HBO's First Look, "This is not one of those cute, little kid musicals; this film is nothing but action." The film treats its soundtrack as a purely background element. However, the film garners a 50% "fresh" rating among users at Rotten Tomatoes and a "C+" at Box Office Mojo. Notably, though, film critic Roger Ebert enjoyed it, giving it 3.5/4 stars for its "rousing story," "largeness of spirit," and "galactic visuals [which] are beautiful in the same way photos by the Hubble Space Telescope are beautiful." He cited the Ice Rings sequence as "a perfect examine [sic] of what animation can do and live action cannot."[1] Another possible reason for it's failure could be because it was overshadowed by Disney's Tarzan. An odd element of the film was the mixture of traditional cel animation and advanced computer graphics. Science fiction fandom or SF fandom is the community of people actively interested in science fiction and fantasy literature, and in contact with one another based upon that interest. ...
