ChuckFlixs: The TitanBy Chuck VanHoose February 5, 2019It’s time for a new addition of ChuckFlixs and this time I’ll be reviewing the Netflix original The Titan. The movie stars Sam Worthington who is a military man with a family. Earth is quickly running out of resources and they must find a new home. Scientists decide that humans must move to Titan which is a moon of Saturn. But in order to survive on Titan humans must evolve and adapt to the new planet.

Does this sound familiar to you because it should. You must be thinking of Sam Worthington’s other movie Avatar. In which he plays a military man who goes to a different planet in becomes one of the planets natives. He has to do this in order to survive the planet’s atmosphere. I’m going to try not to compare the two because they aren’t on the same level.

Positives
I actually liked the idea behind this film. The film doesn’t take place on Titan. It’s on Earth and about them trying to prepare before to move to Titan. But in order to do so they must force evolution. This evolves dangerous experiments on several people with high risks. They keep putting participants through tests to see if they are evolving. So I actually liked the idea but it wasn’t what it could have been.
Sam Worthington did an okay job with what he was given.

Middle of the Road

Taylor Schilling plays Sam’s wife and a doctor monitoring the study. She starts to become worried with what he is becoming. She is afraid he is becoming more beast than man. I don’t by their chemistry as husband and wife.

Negatives
The quote on quote villain was a stereotypical villain for this movie. He is played by Tom Wilkinson.I didn’t really care when he was on screen. I liked the idea of the plot but it was poorly executed. They repeated a lot of the same tests over and over. The other performances are just plain. The ending was dumb. Scroll past my rating to read my thoughts

Rating: 5/10

LAST CHANCE


The ending of The Titan. Of course everything goes wrong when they fully transform/evolve to what they will need to be when they live on Titan. That was something that I saw coming from a mile away. I didn’t even watch trailer before I watched the movie. But I did afterwards and it showed that crap would hit the fan.
In the end of the movie one of the subjects is killed. They are trying to kill Sam who has taken out several soldiers. Tom Wilkinson and the soldiers corner Sam and his family. Tom orders the general to shoot Sam and his family . They refuse and turn their guns on him. Then the next scene is Sam fully evolved standing on Titan alone. With no explanation of how he got there or why they decided to send him. Because he didn’t want to leave his family. It briefly shows them and he son looks the same way. The movie ends with him spending his arms to reveal he has wings like a flying squirrel. Then he jumps off a cliff and starts to fly around on Titan. That was the end of the movie
