Old movie, Graet story

when I was young I use to Watch this movie called "Titan A.E." and
it was one of the best movies I have seen. If you don't want to read all of this go to the botom of the page to make a long story short

In 3028 A.D. humanity has deep space travel and interacted with several alien species; however, a human experimental discovery called "Project Titan" has caused the Drej, a species made of pure energy, to become alarmed and attack the human race. As the Drej prepare to destroy Earth, Professor Sam Tucker, the lead researcher for "Project Titan", gives his son Cale (along with a broken toy/project/console called "TITAN PRO") a ring and sends Cale on one of the evacuation ships with his alien friend Tek the University Student. Meanwhile Sam Tucker takes the TITAN Pro and other members of his team fly the Titan spacecraft from Earth and into Hyperspace. The Drej destroy Earth, and the remainder of the human species become drifters and are generally ridiculed by other species..


Fifteen years after Earth's destruction, Cale, now working in a Salvage yard in an asteroid belt called Tau 14, encounters the human Captain Joseph Korso, who requests Cale's help to find the Titan. Cale is initially reluctant but agrees when Korso activates Cale's ring to show a map on his hand leading to the Titan. The yard is attacked by Drej, and the two escape on Korso's ship, the Valkyrie. Cale is introduced to the other members of Korso's alien crew, including his sly first mate Preed, an astrogator called Gune, and a cranky female weapon expert named Stith. The only other human is co-pilot Akima, whom Cale finds himself immediately attracted to. Korso explains that Professor Tucker encoded a map in Cale's ring that will lead them to the Titan, which is humanity's only chance at having a real future. They travel to the planet Sesharrim, where the bat-like Gaoul race helps Cale to understand how to interpret the map, and discover the Titan to be hidden in the Andali Nebula. As the group is leaving, they are attacked by the Drej, and Cale and Akima are captured. The Drej eventually discard Akima, sending her off into space in a pod, while they extract the Titan map from Cale. Cale eventually escapes in a Drej fighter and regroups with the Valkyrie, learning that Akima's pod was located and she was recovered successfully. The Valkyrie is able to reach the human drifter colony called New Bankok to make repairs and prepare for the final trip to the Titan, however, Cale and Akima overhear an argument between Korso and the Drej Queen, and discover that Korso and Preed are working with the Drej to try to destroy the Titan in exchange for money; they escape from the Valkyrie but Akima is shot and wounded by Preed in the chase. They are stranded on the colony as Korso and the rest continue to the Titan's location. With the help of the other humans, Cale and Akima repair and refit the Phoenix, one of the colony's derelict spaceships, and race off to find the Titan before the Valkyrie reaches it.

Amid the Andali Nebula's giant ice crystals, Cale and Akima find and board the Titan. During their exploration of the massive ship, they discover a holographic message left by Cale's now-deceased father and left the console TITAN PRO, which reveals the true nature of Project Titan and the Titan itself: the ship has the ability to create a completely new, Earth-like planet, and has stores of all the DNA of the animal and plant life that once lived on Earth. This ability to create a new planet from scratch is the reason that the Drej feared humanity's potential enough to destroy Earth. Cale's father also explains that in its escape from the destruction of Earth, the Titan has run out of power, and can't currently execute the process of creating a planet. Cale's father's message is interrupted by Korso, who has arrived with the Valkyrie and the rest of its crew.
Korso and Preed have disembarked, leaving Stith and Gune behind with the intent to get rid of them by planting a bomb inside Stith's wrist-communicator; Gune, however, discovers the detonator in time and throws it down a corridor, saving Stith but suffering seemingly fatal injuries. Back aboard the Titan, Preed turns on Korso, revealing that after Korso and the Drej Queen fell out, the latter approached Preed with a deal to kill all the humans in exchange for his own life and a wealthy sum. A tussle ensues, and Korso kills Preed in combat. Korso then attempts to steal Cale's ring but falls over the edge of the bridge, disappearing into the depths of the ship below. Before Cale can recover, they learn the Drej are attacking the Titan, and gain the help of the other Valkyrie crew to defend it (including Gune, who unexpectedly recovered from his wounds in the meantime). Cale comes up with a plan; remembering Korso's advice that the Drej are pure energy, he could reconfigure the Titan's power system to harness that energy and start the planet-creation process. Unfortunately, one of three critical circuit breakers malfunctions, forcing Cale to go outside and activate it manually while Akima and Stith attempt to fight off the Drej. Korso reappears and offers to redeem himself by sacrificing his life to complete the circuit while Cale returns to the bridge to activate the Titan. With the ship active, the Drej are disintegrated and drawn into its engines, Korso is apparently electrocuted, and the ice field is used to create a new planet.
As Cale and Akima step onto the new planet, Cale decides to call it "Bob". The film ends with Cale and Akima romantically embracing each other, the surviving crew of the Valkyrie flying off, and other ships with human colonies approach "New Earth" (aka Planet Bob) to start their new lives. It is the year 16 A.E.

To sum it all up old earth go boom, people find titan, people make new earth, some one name it Bob
