A post-apocalyptic look at endangered bands of humans roaming an alien-dominated universe, "Titan AE" would be perhaps better suited for its Generation-X audience as a video game where attention spans can dictate length rather than the already overlong 90 minute production it currently is. Yet, America's youth would likely discard such a game if for no reason other than the extraordinarily inconsistent and oftentimes poor graphics. While the galactic images are quasi-mouth-watering, the species portrayed are more crude than those pictured in the recent "Pokemon: The First Movie," hardly a testament to the abilities of 21st century computer animators. The plot has many holes - not the least of which is a scene where the protagonist seems to be able to read the subtitles the film's editors have inserted to aid the audience in understanding a gibberish language. Indeed, so little is original with all the key concepts being recycled from previous works that a grand finale of "I am your father,. . ." would come as little surprise.
