The Titan

A clever but unformed hunk of speculative science-fiction.

Taylor Schilling does her best here to keep things alive and afloat but The Titan insists on languishing in unremarkable material way too long.

To be fair to first-time feature director Lennart Ruff, he has far less money than James Cameron to pull off this gloomy sci-fi thriller. But that’s no excuse for aiming so low when it comes to your concepts and characterisation.

It’s an entirely calamitous turkey, riddled with plot holes and bewilderingly miscast, which steals ideas from films as diverse as The Fly, Avatar, Soylent Green and Prometheus before fumbling every last one of them, and looks as if it was shot in a show home for £99.

Do not understand where the vitriol for this movie stems from. It's a good watch and undeserving of the negative criticism.

Look everybody, he is changing! Oh, he's changed now. The end. What did I just watch?

I want to give this movie. A higher score, but it had so many holes. It could have been much better. I didn’t know it was low budget movie, maybe that’s why they didn’t use many CG. 1. Good concept, it could have been a great movie 2. Horrible ending, just poor 3. They didn’t use Sam. W enough, he’s a great actor, should have given him more scenes or narration or something.....ended more. Him and less o the wife. 4. Wish they concentrated on slowly changing and morning the characters, instead Sam.W goes under one operation and suddenly comes out looking like an Alien! Not believable Someone needs to take the concept and redo it with more CG and different ending

Who was responsible for this? This is not science fiction, not even acceptable fantasy. It is illogical, inconsistent and avoids common sense whenever possible. Taylor Schilling is very good (and my rating of 3 is due to her performance), so if you could focus on her (it is her movie) and ignore the rest, it is watchable. With a few plot changes, it might have worked: Earth's surface is now uninhabitable due to runaway greenhouse effect. The survivors live in sea floor cities which are threatened by increasing earthquake activity. In desperation, they try to genetically modify themselves using Orca DNA. This plot change would permit an optimistic ending as opposed to a nonsensical one. Netflix has also given us Bright, with Will Smith, a fantasy film with as much violence as possible. Again, good actors, production value, but I could not get through it.

A somewhat interesting premise is marred by poor writing, illogical concepts and an extremely predictable ending. I struggle to think of anything in the movie worthy of compliment apart from a small amount of action. Simply put, this movie is just boring. Do not watch it.
