The Exigency

This movie is a masterpiece. From what I know, Cody Vibbart made this full-length feature film on his home computer over the span of 13 years. This is completely mind-blowing. The graphics do look like a video game from the early 2000's, which most people would probably say ruins any asthetic whatsoever, but I think he made it work to his advantage. There are several moments in the film that could not have happened if it were produced in any other medium. Once you get used to the quirky graphics, the entire production is actually pretty great, and it is nothing short of being expertly crafted. When you watch the preview, you might be thinking, "wow, this looks like garbage"; but I promise that if you force yourself to watch the first 12 minutes, you'll need to see the rest of it. Especially considering this is 13 years of someone's life, this guy deserves some recognition. Mad respect. The least you could do is just watch the movie. Now I do have to say that this is pg-13, so I wouldn't watch this for family movie night; but if you are an independent film enthusiast, or are just kinda bored out of your mind, this is the film for you. So, in conclusion, this is 13 years of someone's life dedicated to making a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that definitely deserves some recognition.

It is like watching a cut scene in a 15 year old video game, and while waiting for your turn to play, you get to like the engaging story.

The voice actors are not really acting together, just delivering their lines, somewhat dry. Fortunately there is some humour and fun here and there to lighten things up. The animation and looks of everything is just dated and ugly. Especially the characthers' shiny white strange teeths as they speak are annoying. External scenery, without any living things in it, are quite good.

The story is simple and full of clichés, and remind you of some action flick from the VHS era around 1987, but it suits the corny animation and acting just fine.

It would be great to see it as a real feature film at some time. Dwayne Johnson could be Kyle, Timothy Oliphant could play Diedrick, and John C Rielly could play King Sargon. If you can sit through dated badly animated movies like Havoc in Heaven or Akira, you will have a good time with this too.

Worth the watch. Other reviews capture my sentiments.

I came looking for copper and instead I found gold. Not only is this movie well written, but it's also ahead of it's time. Technically the movie was written and voice acted 11 years ago, so I'd say that if this were released around that time it would have been more of a hit. The only aspect it lacks is visual appeal, but I don't see that as a problem

I was thoroughly entertained throughout. It's fun, extremely good, the action is so well done, just watch it. It's free on amazon, less than 2 hours. I know you have amazon prime just go watch it seriously. Thx for listening.
