Brandon rented Ink on the recommendation of a friend and because he was intrigued by the backstory - made for $250k and the most downloaded thing on the internet for a few weeks or something like that. It was a very odd movie, involving topics that interest us both, such as how dreams affect life, how life affects dreams, how our choices in life affect the people around us and our futures.
We totally forgot why we had rented it while we were watching, so we were kind of weirded out by the whole tone. It's very amateurish and almost feels like a student film or maybe a play that was turned into a movie or something. Which is not to say that it was bad at all - it was very well done for what it was. The effects were interesting, and although the story wasn't all that tight and left quite a bit hanging, it still kept our attention. It was quite clear that the actors were not really pros, but they were still effective and emotionally connected. I especially enjoyed Jacob, the pathfinder. He was fun and had some great facial expressions. Overall, enjoyable but not all that memorable.
