Ink, one of the best films from the last couple of years?

sirpaulmcdarkney
I just saw this film and was blown away. Watched it with a friend who didn't fully understand it (even after I explained, though I think he was joking mostly) but still enjoyed it. It was interestingly shot, beautifully scored, smartly choreographed, brilliantly written, and was far better acted than most every film in it's genre (not that I even know what that is). There are so many layers of understanding in this film that I almost mistook it for ancient religious text! lol

Anyone else seen it?

    • Ink (2009) is a climax of audio and visual stimulation that takes you on a journey of the subconsciousness. The dark and light forces fight over the soul in a thrilling and thought provoking metaphysical world that is linked to the physical one. This science fiction fantasy is packed with action between mesmerizing sequences of relaxation and happiness that offset the dark and uneasy world of the Incubi.

      The Incubi give nightmares while the Storytellers offer dreams of hope. These two groups battle for Emma (Quinn Hunchar) in this alternate realm, where time runs differently, as she lays in a coma in the real world after Ink took her essence to prove his worthiness to become an Incubi. Her only hope is for the Storytellers to change the path of her father, John (Chris Kelly). A series of events changed John from a loving and caring person to a deeply hurt and broken man. With the quest to change John underway another Storyteller, Liev (Jessica Duffy), attempts to adjust Ink's thinking to not continue following the path he is on.

      8 out of 10 - A strait forward and simple tale this is not; it is open to some interpretation making the film difficult to follow at times. It does come together more as the film advances, but in the end it may take some nonlinear thinking to understand. Still, this is a very interesting and mind blowing film that intrigues your senses and perception. The acting was fitting for the film, but was a little one-dimensional at times. Jamin Winans, Kiowa K. Winans, and Jeff Pointer created this unique and intriguing story.

    • I don't know, I started watching this movie on netflix the other day and ended up turning it off. And I usually like weird movies but this one is obviously low budget. I might try to watch it again now though because of all the hype

    • I saw it. Also quite impressed with it. Even if you don't consider the fact that the film only had a 250k budget the effects are awesome and even more so when you do realize that they did them with almost no budget :-)

    • You guys for real? You probably had no idea that Pericles is hand in hand with this movie. He constantly has showings in Maryland and is trying to get it in all over the place. He's gonna be tickled pink when he sees this.
