This review has been slightly edited since the original version.

As someone who has just discovered the world of the 3DMM community not too long ago, it is quite hard for me to review a movie like this. I only have, what, two minutes to comment on. And for me, I think it's a tiny bit too short. But let's rattle through the good stuff first. The animations are superb. The moving camera angles, the scenery, even the characters, who actually blink, are great. Santiago has done a brilliant job with animating this movie, no doubt about it. The music also fits in with the movie, and Jaymond's voice is top-class, as always.

OK, now let's go back to the start of my review: "It is quite hard for me to review a movie like this. I only have, what, two minutes to comment on." However, one good thing about its length is that I can see this movie five times and only using up around ten minutes of my time. I can spot things I originally missed out. Small, subtle details are there, waiting to be seen. And after a third time watching Abortion, the atmosphere was a lot more chilling, which is what I presume the director was trying to achieve. Two minutes though...hardly anything is explained in this movie. And that is my major gripe. It does not fully explain much at all. All you really get is, what effectively is, a scenario, and the guy's resulting actions. That's all. Surely the director could have gone into more depth?

Why did the woman choose to have an abortion? Why didn't she tell the father beforehand? Why did she decide to tell him when it's done instead? It's just not clear enough. If Santiago tied up these small question marks, just adding perhaps another minute or so, I could like this so much more. But perhaps I'm being too harsh. Maybe the director wanted to leave these questions unanswered. Since the movie comes from the father's point of view, perhaps he doesn't refer to these questions because he simply does not know the answers. I don't know what to think really. Two minutes is just too short.

There is also one small detail which I have noticed first time watching it. How the hell did she abort when she was, what, five months pregnant? That's over twenty weeks! Well, I suppose that's just a couple of frames, but it's those tiny things which let the movie down in my perspective. Things not explained in depth (a simple "I don't know why she did it" from the father would suffice) and bits which seem rather confusing (like the bump, explained in this paragraph).

And that is basically the whole movie. A couple of minutes with great animations and some awesome sceneries, but with matters which are left ambiguous. The ending, though, does make up some of the bad points, even if it is over-the-top. You'll see what I mean when you come round to watching this. Reading this review, you might think that I didn't like Abortion much. In fact, it's the opposite. I actually enjoyed this movie and I recommend you to watch it at least once, but with an extended runtime, tying up some loose ends, Santiago could have made a movie which would have completely stunned me.

Score: 80/100
