Not bad for a movie made in 13 years with an old fashioned 3D animation program from the early 2000's, (2006-2019). Honestly the "Who Killed Captain Alex?" of 3D animated obscurities.
As the saying goes:
a good story can save bad animation while great animation can’t save a bad story
“objects in mirror are things that are behind you”
abandon any assumptions you made about this movie when you saw the poster. absolutely flawless. perfect blend of action/sci-fi and comedy. it’s the funniest movie i’ve ever seen, but not for the reasons you think (and yeah austin sent me)
10/10
Wow. This is, like, legitimately good. The animation style certainly takes some getting used to, but it's pretty effective once you acclimate.
To its credit, The Exigency never shies away from its most apparent aspect: that it looks like a video game interstitial from the mid-2000s. On the contrary, it leans into it, playing it for laughs in ways that a high-budget computer animated film could never do – it just wouldn't be able to pull off the humor. In that way, this reminds me of titles like South Park or Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which also rely on a crude style.
At its core, this isn't a comedy, though. It's a sci-fi thriller. The main character, Kyle, is a…
All things considered, this is a well-done film, made with a whole lotta passion and heart. If you’re looking for an oddity, this is a valid candidate, and if you’re looking for a genuine actioner, you could honestly do way worse pretty easily. Looking forward to the sequel. Hopefully it won’t take another 13 years to make this time.
What can you really expect from a film which was made in an old 3d modelling program over the course of 13 years by one sole person? Not a lot right? Yep.
It looks cheap, because it is, though i have to say that i got used to the look rather fast, and to give credit where its due, the way the director managed to portray everything felt rather professional, not in its cgi, but in the camera angles. Definitely knew what he did there.
The story is predictable, something one would find in modern blockbuster cinema, just with a little more edge to it and less focus group testet qualities.
I am not sad i watched it, but i have to be real with you, if you are not interested in it at all due to its rather unique production process there is no reason to ever watch it.
We all aspire to be like Lynch or Michael Mann or Damien Chazelle with a feature film debut for the ages. We can't all pump out an Eraserhead or Thief on the first try, though. Asking film students to look up to these examples as inspiration is akin to telling a beginner guitar student to read a book on Jimi Hendrix for inspiration. Maybe you're a natural, too!
And yet, we look up to them, and we hold on to the hope that we will do something as great for our feature film debut. But the truth is most of us will debut with either a pile of dogshit, or a good effort that nonetheless fails to match our ambitions.…
hilarious.
worth the two hour run time for non-stop terrible CGI.
not worth it for the story, which somehow a) takes two hours to tell b) is nearly devoid of incident and c) fails to conclude, ending in a sequel bait cliffhanger.
Surprisingly good. The animation is especially well done during the action sequences, which is surprising because it's animated by one person. Has a good amount of humor and I can't believe it ended with a cliffhanger.
A very oddly captivating project mostly made by one man on a budget of nothing. The voice acting is pretty good, the humor lands.
At Bustn and Chadm's new place. We watched this and Day of the Dead, I think. also ww: e, I think T and cammy were there at some points
Cody Vibbart clearly worked his ass off to put this together. The mid 2000s animation has a bit of charm to it, and for that, I give this a star.
However, the script and pacing are godawful - full of really boring jokes, piles and piles of nonsense exposition, long drawn-out scenes explaining the same thing over and over. Voice acting is all over the place, with attempts at "clever" improvisation failing to rise above a bunch of kids making a home movie. And it's two hours long.
I appreciate the amount of hard work that went into this venture. I really do. But it had 13 years to trim the script of all the extra fat and edit this marathon into a reasonable length and endurable pacing. Unfortunately, it didn't, and what is left is bloated nonsense.
