The Exigency

Worth the watch. Other reviews capture my sentiments.

This by far the worse film ive seen in 2020 .... even the lockdown was more interesting than this waste of space

James Cameron spent 13 years on Avatar: The Way of Water delivering a movie that was impressive in visuals but poor in story.

Cody Vibbart spent 13 years animating this film in poser, delivering a movie poor in visuals but impressive in story.

If I had to choose between the movies; Exigency wins hands down! Engaging story, fun characters, good jokes and a plot that delivers, you will watch this film through to the end with your only disappointment being you have to wait a while for the sequel. Fortunately Mr. Vibbart has accelerated the process with a better animation program meaning the sequel won't take another 13 years--but it's still worth wait, if it did.

Moral of this review? A pretty face doesn't make up for a crappy personality. Story matters more than style every time.

The Exigency is honestly probably one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Whilst the graphics are less than stellar on their own, the cinematography, writing, pacing, etc. range from above average to excellent. I was never bored during this movie, despite it being two hours long. Cody Vibbart has a talent for this and his passion, as well as that of everyone else working on this project, is clearly shown. If given a bigger budget, a team of animators working on a more modern animation software and a little polish it would easily hold mass-market appeal.

The comedy is funny, the cinematography is creative and adds to the scenes tremendously and the writing is unique. This movie comes highly recommended if you have amazon prime. Only reason I've rated this 8/10 is the admittedly pretty trash graphics (through no fault of anyone working on the project, its done well with what they have) and a few minor awkward scenes, but otherwise its a damn good movie.

While the animation seems off-putting at first, once you get past it you find a well developed storyline with true character development, humor, and serious plot. It gets better to watch as the film progresses.

While free on prime, I went and bought it to support the creator, it was that good. I can't wait for the second one!
