Comments on: Review: Ink http://www.rowthree.com/2009/10/22/review-ink/ Where Cinema is more than just $100 Million productions Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:16:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jandy Stone http://www.rowthree.com/2009/10/22/review-ink/#comment-39178 Jandy Stone Tue, 05 Jan 2010 05:25:47 +0000 http://www.rowthree.com/?p=19974#comment-39178 I finally got around to watching this yesterday too (thank you, Netflix Instant Watch!), and yeah, wow. So many filmmakers with many times the budget can't manage to pull off something this tight, innovative, and beautiful. I wasn't sure about the timelines once in a while (maybe a rewatch would clear that up, but I'm a little concerned he sloughed it off with "time doesn't work the same way"), but other than that I was pretty much totally sold. Even my bit of distaste for how hot the lighting was in the real-world scenes was eventually countered by the story, which at least allowed me to invent a reason for it that satisfied me.

As of now, it's sitting in my top ten for the year. I have a few movies left to see, but I'm pretty confident it will make the list. Good story. Great visuals. Very imaginative.

It had a fantastic plot, which is half the battle for me. The acting left me wondering what this film could have been if Winans could have gotten some proven talent involved..

There was only one person who I talked to who wasn't a fan but he missed the beginning so I blame that. I totally agree and I love the music. You need to check out SPIN.

The character creations alone are super cool looking - particularly those Incubi. Damn that was neat to see something look like that on a shoestring budget. The music is great and even the fight choreography (which normally I can't stand) was fantastic; which surprised me. Some of the back story drama was a bit on the heavy-handed side, but other than that I have no problem with your 4.5/5 star review. This movie is all kinds of awesome.
