Titan A.E - On HBO

One of my favorites and the DVD considered a audio gem is showing on HBO this next week in case anyone is interested. In fact I cannot remember the last time it was even on period. I really enjoyed it and if it's in DD crank up the system, you're in for a treat.

Given it's listed at IMDB at 2.35:1, I'd be surprised if HBO shows it OAR.

Re: Titan A.E - On HBO

Well I caught some of it tonight and yea visually it wasn't the same as the DVD but the audio presented in DD was pretty much on par. Not as crisp as the DVD version but it still kicked. The 'Ice Ring" scene is still one of the Top Five in my book. Soundtrack still pretty much rocks as well.

I liked the part where they flew the ship with the ghost-like creatures but the rest was eh.

Re: Titan A.E - On HBO

I revisited my DVD of Titan A.E. yesterday (still fun after almost 15 years) and it left me wondering whatever became of Powerman 5000. Imagine my surprise to find out they still exist.

That's a great track.

The main single off of Titan AE was "Over My Head" by Lit. It's a damn good song and had its own video where they added the band to the film.

Also, speaking of Powerman 5000 they had a brand new song recorded just for Titan AE called The End is Over:

It's because of that track that I started thinking about them while watching the movie. Always liked that song.

I also liked "It's My Turn To Fly" by the Urge:

The whole sequence it appears in (the Wake Angels) was great.

My recollection was that this was a technical marvel but kind of a meh story. I haven't seen it in years, though.

Likewise. Also, looking back at it, Joss Whedon's influence and elements he would later incorporate in Firefly are clearly evident.

It's aggravating this has never had a BD release. The DVD sounds killer. Would love a lossless version of that sound mix.

Re: Titan A.E - On HBO

I have the DVD and the cover looks nothing like the picture they have on Amazon for it. Pretty sure it's been on HBO On Demand or Starz On Demand lately.

That's cos the new cover is for a re-issue: http://www.amazon.com/Titan-E-Matt-D...pecial+edition

Here's the old one: http://www.amazon.com/Titan-E-Specia...pecial+edition

Both this and Disney's 'Atlantis' set the bar for how loud an animated Hollywood feature could be

Coincidentally, Joss Whedon also has a screenwriter credit on Atlantis. Maybe once he's done with the MCU, he should work on an animated feature.

I keep hearing Titan AE was a bomb, but it did really well at the theater I worked at.

Yeah, I recall the sound in the scene where they're slowly going through all the ice things being particularly killer.

And as you guys have posted, I really enjoyed the music in the movie too. Damn it, now I want a blu-ray release.

It had a $75m budget and only grossed $22.7m domestically, $36.7m worldwide.
