Ink (unlimited stars)

Holy crap! What an original, stunning vision. If you have some patience and don’t mind uncertainty, this movie is amazing. Don’t read any synopses – take a chance. The movie streams on Netflix and IMDB (106 minutes).

Though quite original, Ink made me think of several movies, including Dark City, 9, Beauty and the Beast, Newt from Aliens, and Franklyn. (Yes, weird to call a move original and then cite other movies, but, seriously, Ink is fresh.) And Jade Warrior, which Ink resembles only in blowing my mind. In particular, a short film I caught on PBS, Spin, came to mind. Damn if it wasn’t the same writer/director, Jamin Winans (see the 8 minute short).
