636 wordsThe idea that every science fiction film is inspired by a religious or mythological background holds true in the movie, Titan, A. E. These backgrounds include those involving the Chinese, Greeks and Egyptians. The first suggestion involving mythology is in the title of the movie itself. A Titan was a race of Gods in the Greek culture that ruled the Earth before the Olympians. In my opinion, a large majority of the movie can be explained by examining this portion of mythology. I feel that Cale re...

The energy that this movie sends off is so radioa...
