Review of Ink

Ink (I) (2009)
No story, not much of a script, bad acting and unbelievably pretentious
18 October 2011
Watched about 50 minutes' worth of this, then gave up. Watching this feels like watching some students' short film projects, stuck together. Lots of footage, using lots of shiny postproduction effects, very little dialogue, lots of really, really stilted, mediocre, drama school type acting, and (for the most part) no sense of a plot at all. Oh, and lots of unimpressive fight scenes that seem entirely pointless and stretch the length of the film without making it any more exciting.

It's the sort of pretentious nonsense that the most pretentious student in the film production class might produce in their final year to impress their most pretentious tutor - only this is hours and hours and hours of it. (Well, an hour and 40 minutes, I think. As I said, I only go 50 minutes through before losing patience).

In short: entertainment value: zero.

But it's got a few neat visuals.
