Chronicle
Three high school friends gain superpowers after making an incredible discovery. Soon, though, they find their lives spinning out of control and their bond tested as they embrace their darker sides.
Chronicle is wicked fun. Put Cloverfield, Unbreakable and X-Men: First Class in a blender, you have this movie. A superhero origin story without superheroes. Something creative and different than all the comic book movies we see every year. Andrew is the main character who has no friends, girls find him creepy, he's picked on at school, his mum is dying and his alcoholic dad beats him. In the trailer they make Andrew look like an a**hole, but you feel for him until near the end. Great unknown actors and found footage style make it seem realistic, and for the small budget they had, the special effects look amazing. Chronicle is a superhero drama, then the last 10 or 15 minute just makes you go "HOLY F**KING SH*T". I feel sorry for the people who miss out on Chronicle.
