[Q]: it 's a good thing most animated sci - fi movies come from japan , because " titan a. e. " is proof that hollywood does n't have a clue how to do it .
i do n't know what this film is supposed to be about .
from what i can tell it 's about a young man named kale who 's one of the last survivors of earth in the early 31st century who unknowingly possesses the key to saving and re - generating what is left of the human race .
that 's a fine premise for an action - packed sci - fi animated movie , but there 's no payoff .
the story takes the main characters all over the galaxy in their search for a legendary ship that the evil " dredge " aliens want to destroy for no apparent reason .
so in the process we get a lot of spaceship fights , fistfights , blaster fights and more double - crosses than you can shake a stick at .
there 's so much pointless sci - fi banter
it 's too much to take .
the galaxy here is a total rip - off of the " star wars " universe the creators do n't bother filling in the basic details which makes the story confusing , the characters unmotivated and superficial and the plot just plain boring .
despite the fantastic animation and special effects , it 's just not an interesting movie .

[Q]: this is crap , but , honestly , what older american audience is going to be able to resist seeing jack lemmon and james garner as bicker- ing ex - presidents ?
especially when their supporting players in- clude dan aykroyd as the current commander in chief , lauren bacall as a former first lady , and john heard as the dan quayle - ish vice president .
yup , you 're talkin ' pre - sold property here and , for warner brothers , the perfect fit into their now - ritual grumpy old men holiday slot .
for the non - discriminating viewer , my fellow americans is fine .
the raw star power alone will have audiences applauding this atrocious political- thriller road - comedy .
( they did in mine , heaven help us . )
for the rest of us , the movie is immediately tiresome .
the tone is terrible and the banter is worse .
forget
wit-- lemmon and garner merely exchange profanities through most of the movie .
( has anyone counted the number of first penis references ? )
sure , some of the bits are absurdly funny , including a men 's room macarena joke , the appearance of an elvis impersonator on a trainload of tarheels , and an all dorothy marching band performing " over the rainbow " at a gay men 's march .
the get there from here , though , you have to submit to one of the most offensively overbearing musical scores of all time .
judas priest , is there a single moment of silence in this film ?
even the dialogue gets drowned out .
what a waste .

[Q]: capsule : this is a 1950s or 1960s style heist film , set in the present .
robert deniro stars as a risk - adverse safecracker who wants to retire form crime but takes one last job at the request of a personal friend ( played by marlon brando ) .
edward norton plays a hotshot young sharpster who is also in on the crime .
the plot is mostly straightforward suspense with little nonsense .
,
+2 ( -4 to +4 ) i am sure i must have seen almost the identical plot before .
this is a heist film made for an adult audience who probably wanted a crime film like they had seen in theaters when they were teens .
there are no superhuman acrobats taking nosedives off of buildings like in entrapment .
there is no rock score .
there are no ballet- like martial arts .
this is just a basic heist film with a decent and distinctly credible and un - flashy script .
nick ( played by robert deniro ) is a safecracker who has managed to be successful by never taking risks .
if a job is not a safe bet ( pun intended ) , he backs out .
sometimes even the safe bets turn out not to be so safe .
when one job very nearly goes wrong nick is unnerved enough to decide that it is nature telling him that it is time to get out of the game .
he returns to his home in montreal where he owns a jazz club , and decides to manage it full time .
he proposes to his girl friend diane ( angela bassett ) .
she has one condition .
he must stay retired from crime .
but before the deal can be cemented , max , a montreal kingpin and personal friend , has one last supposedly easy job for nick .
nick wants no part particularly because the heist will be right in his hometown of montreal .
more and more details seem to complicate the job .
nick 's partner in the crime is to be a smart , but uncontrollable young crook , jack ( edward norton ) .
jack treats a locked front door like a welcome mat , even at his associates ' homes .
the young crook is a know - it - all who seems good at everything he does but at avoiding rubbing people the wrong way .
together they plan to steal a priceless historic artifact from the montreal customs house .
the script by kario salem , lem dobbs , and scott marshall smith works like an episode of the old " mission impossible " television series .
we see pieces of the heist being put together , last minute changes , and things that go wrong , much like a good episode of " mission impossible .
"
this team might not be bad choices to write scripts for the tom cruise " mission impossible " films .
the complications are , however no more and no fewer than are needed to make the story believable .
the telling is cold and noirish , which is just what it is supposed to be .
director frank oz , the voices of yoda and miss
piggy proves surprisingly good at directing a serious crime film .
the score has a more than adequate cast with little flashy or scene - stealing acting .
edward norton probably has the flashiest role and even that is low - key by today 's standards .
he plays what is nearly a double role .
jack pretends to be a brain damage victim to be hired for a job in the customs house .
one nice ( ?
) character i have not mentioned is stephen ( jamie harrold ) .
stephen is a master hacker who lives in his mother 's basement in a house with a lot of screaming in both directions .
he seems like the last person the risk adverse nick would want to depend upon .
the film itself remains low - key up until the time of the climactic heist .
then the pace really picks up .
before that the plot even stops twice for jazz interludes .
though oz never lets the music steal time from the story the way woody allen does in sweet and lowdown .
on the subject of music , the score of the score is by howard shore .
it adds tension to the suspense scenes , but never seems to have much of a melody .
angela bassett is the one misused celebrity in a totally minor role that should have been played by a less famous actress who needed a break .
she has nothing to do in the film but demand that nick give up crime and to look like an attractive reward if he does .
speaking of being attractive the score seems to be attracting an older audience who learned to appreciate much the same sort of film in the 1950s and 1960s .
it does the job .
i rate it a 7 on the 0 to 10 scale and a +2 on the -4 to +4 scale .
