The Titan

Mankind is doomed. Too many people, too many wars, Earth resources depleted. What now? Well, why not move forward by investing 300 million modifying the DNA to adapt humans to a completely different environment, a treatment with 5% chance of survival that turns people into something unknown, and send the survivors to another planet, a moon to be precise, even worse than Earth?

Maybe not the smartest plot ever, but it could make "The Titan" an entertaining movie. It didn't. It's a waste of time. Unoriginal storytelling, hollow characters, pathetic ending. If you decide to ignore most of the comments here and watch it, be sure to faint before the last 15 minutes or so.

Not sure why this is getting a '1' from some reviewers... It can't be as god-awful as some films that truly deserve a very poor rating. Sure, it's no Godfather, but it has some merit. I'm thinking the worst '1' reviews may be from 15 year-olds expecting perhaps a lot of action (which this does not), or a lot of Sci-Fi CGI effects (some, but not a lot..).

At best, it's a reasonably entertaining view on what it would be like if we had to make plans to eventually leave the planet. There's some nice, slick futuristic settings as well. At worst, there's little 'action' or 'space action' and the like, as it all takes place on earth (mostly). This is high praise from me, as I love a good 'space' & 'space travel' Sci-Fi flick!

It definitely doesn't deserve a '1' (or a '3' or '4' for that matter) in my opinion. They make a decent effort at plot - though to be sure, there are a few spots where you have to suspend disbelief... The sets look authentic and look realistic & have a great look & good production value.

It's no 'Gataca' or 'Blade Runner' by any stretch, but it was reasonably entertaining & held my interest enough to watch it through.

Training people to live on an uninhabitable planet because the earth is becoming... UNINHABITABLE. Say that again slowly. Why does he have to go to Titan? Why can't they just train his body to survive the new harsh weather on earth? I don't have a problem with the acting and special effects, I just feel like the story was not well thought out.

I was so intrigued to watch this movie, the trailer I saw made the film look awesome. The first twenty minutes or so I really enjoyed. I got into it immediately, the acting was really rather good, the story very interesting, but something seems to change, it's almost as if they switched directors or writers, as the film just turns into a real mess, it was hard to follow, almost every character was hard to like, and you find yourself asking 'what's the point.'

I'll applaud the acting, and special effects, the latter in particular were great, but overall there was just something about it that I didn't like, if I'm honest I was bored.

What was he going to do on his own on that planet?

Mehhh. 4/10

It's 6 stars at a wee bit of a stretch, but, that stretch isn't too far. It's much better than the current IMDB rating.

Interesting premise. Obviously doesn't have a massive budget but did well anyway on what it had.

Some good acting and some good actors. It's not a great film, but it's definitely not a stinker. It's a good lazy afternoon watch.

There's not much more to say. Now I'm just filling up characters. I went for a walk this morning. Some 9/10 miles. Had a chicken roast dinner for tea & a slice of homemade Victoria jam sponge for afters.

Got a new telly coming tomorrow, but I fear it may be too big so need to ring first thing and cancel the order/delivery.
