A father and daughter are drawn into a surreal dream world where the forces of light and darkness wage a constant battle for the minds of mankind. When darkness falls and we close our eyes, benevolent forces seek to instill us with courage and strength through sweet dreams. Meanwhile, other, more malevolent beings curse us with nightmares that fill our minds with desperation and despair. When an innocent little girl is spirited away to a phantasmagorical world of dreams by mysterious creatures known as Ink, her father must find a means of rescuing her and preventing the metaphysical war between these two powerful forces from bleeding into our reality. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

MOVIE REVIEW

Review by Bryan Swan (A-)

In the current fold, the typical trend in Hollywood is to churn out highly profitable, flashy films with not a whole lot of substance and then market the hell out of them.  Case and point, see: The Twilight Saga's New Moon.  Every now and then, one or two of these types of movies are actually really good (James Cameron's Avatar being the most recent example), but though there are more independent films being made than ever, the sheer size of the Hollywood juggernaut keeps them well out of the grasp of viewers who don't actually go out of their way to look for them.  But every now and then, a truly innovative and original film comes along and stirs up interest amid the core of movie cultists and starts spreading like wildfire.
