Review of Away

Away (I) (2019)
1/10
Bad fifteen year old videogame
14 October 2019
The story is nonexistent, but I can understand that as an experiment. Everything seems to be written for a videogame (up to the main character going through "checkpoints"), but I can accept someone trying to mix different medias to see what it comes through. This didn't worked for me already, but ok.

The "minimalism" someone is referring too, is not such thing. If the only problem with the visuals was the lack of depth and texture I would accept it as an artistic choice. The crappy animation that would be bad for 30 year old movie or a 15 year old videogame, the terrible physics of everything... Makes clear that it's not an artistic choice but inability to make something that gets close to decent.

This looks in every aspect as an unfinished product or, more probably, a 3D storyboard to make someone undesrtand what they intent to make. The only explanation for the rating (and it's perfectly possible seeing the number of votes), is that it has been rated by working crew, friends and family members.
