“Attack on Titan”

Movie Review

 

The American science fiction film "Attack on Titan," directed by Noah Luke and starring Michael Pare, Erin Coker, and Neli Sabour, is about a mission dispatched to Saturn's moon Titan to collect sustainable supplies of water from its extraterrestrial residents when drinking water on Earth runs out. Yet when the humans take possession of the priceless resource, they come under attack by Titanian rebels who do not think the Earthlings would return in peace.

In order to live up to its name, a rebel group on Saturn's moon Titan objects to Earth's agreement with the government to collect water crystals. Max Reece is given the task of organizing a mission to save the freighter after it was attacked while transporting those water crystals back to Earth. Prime Ortiz. There is only one issue: Max and Admiral Allison Quince "don't exactly get along" and she now commands the only ship that is appropriate.

Indeed, that might be a slight understatement. She was dumped by Max, who then wed Heidi, her best friend. And if that wasn't coincidence enough, Heidi was aboard the attacked vessel. Soon after they discover the freighter and its lone survivor, Heidi of course, the ship is assaulted and crashes on Titan. In order to prevent the alien fleet from destroying Earth, they must get to a neighboring outpost, locate the parts they require to fix the ship, and leave in time.

You won't be surprised to learn that in the future, female military personnel are required to wear a skin-tight crop top, and that all you need to survive on a far-off, freezing moon is a breathing mask since Attack on Titan is an Asylum movie. This is absurd because they do wear suits when they are within the wreckage of the freighter. These costumes are undoubtedly made out of motorcycle helmets among other things, but they are nonetheless worn.

Filmmakers Noah Luke and Gil Luna deliver an action-packed story. As they get at their objective, there are space battles, a cave-in, a number of encounters with the rebels while they are on the planet's surface, and a final struggle once they manage to bring the ship back into space. Except from the typical situations where everyone ignores cover and just stands in the open firing at each other, it's staged reasonably effectively.

 

Many of the space scenes are on par with far higher-budget productions, and the CGI representation of the combat is better than usual for an Asylum film. Although they look terrible when they malfunction, as in a scenario of a shuttle crash landing in a ship's hangar. The mining facility looks substantial in pictures taken from the outside.

Attack on Titan plainly takes place on a staging with a painted backdrop that is hidden by filters when the characters actually venture outside on Titan's surface. Those who watch Attack on Titan because Michael Paré is in it will be let down. Even by the standards of a guest cast, he receives very little screen time and spends all but one of his sequences loitering in the same room. It's a good time and moves along quite quickly, so aficionados of the genre should enjoy it.
