2019 Directed by Cody Vibbart
With a clueless King and failing military, the planet of Gallesha is on the brink of domination by a tyrant, Diederick, of the planet Anumbis. Gallesha's last hope for survival is to retrieve their retired legendary war hero.
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
A modern epic... A scifi magnum opus, 13 years in the making.
I can only hope we are blessed with part 2 soon.
Wow. This is, like, legitimately decent. 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…
I think the high remarks would make people assume that I love this film ironically, but even with some janky animations, some awkward like reading, and some outdated graphics, The Exigency makes those elements obsolete by simply having a good engaging story, and understanding how to use its limitations to its advantage.
The Exigency is a sci-fi animated epic that spent 13 years in the making on one guy’s hard drive who did this for the simple reason of having a story to tell. Meet Kyle, an every man with a stable job, a wife, and a couple of kids in a normal American life, that is until Earth is invaded by UFOs and he’s taken by aliens, but not just any…
Thank you Austin McConnell for this recommendation. Not a cinematic masterpiece but surprisingly enjoyable. The animation is horrible but in time I got used to it and oddly started enjoying it. Damn, I can’t wait for part 2 which is probably gonna take a while seeing as this took 13 years.
So I feel like I just discovered something very special. A filmmaker named Cody Vibbant spent 13 years making a full feature film in the rudimentary CGI animation software. The result is a bizarre, sometimes janky sometimes transcendent , silly, fun, action packed and wholly inspiring exercise in filmmaking. Think Michael Bay if he were also Bill Plympton. Honestly I feel like I have to be an evangelist for this kind of passion and purity of vision. You might very well not dig this movie like I did, but you will never have seen anything like it. Pls rent it and get the word of this unique piece of movie art out there. He's working on a sequel and I don't want to have to wait another 13 years.
