Review:

Axiom - Geoffrey Crete (from Klaus at Gunpoint) This is a lovely, painful, paranoid, and dark science fiction film that envisions a future not entirely unlike our present. He has a mangled leg, but more importantly, there is a strange symbol scratched onto his eye. This symbol is actually the crux to the story, and part of why I connected to it so thoroughly. You may want to hold on, I'm going to do some strange mental gymnastics. You see, a film is an image scratched on to the eye. It opens up our vision to new possibilities, and we so often reject them until the absolute moment we must reject them, remove them, attempt to destroy them before they destroy us. This is an apt metaphor, and I can say that it is one of those films that made me think, and worry a little, because there was a little of myself in the main character. It maybe ran a touch long for the material, but there was no weak aspect in the production or acting.
