'Chronicle' A Review

'Chronicle' is about a troubled kid who starts to film his life. It's a 'found footage' film like Blair Witch. Andrew has a troubled home life and his only real acquaintance is his cousin Matt. Matt convinces Andrew to go to a party. During the party Matt and Steve, the charismatic class president, find a cave. Andrew, Matt, and Steve discover a glowing object which changes them.

The boys discover they can move things with their minds. What follows is a fun close friendship made all the more special because Andrew has never had friends or had anything special about him. The more the boys use their power the greater it becomes. Andrew's home life effects his mental state and the film takes a dark turn.

Every year or so the film industry tries to produce a film like this: Jumper, Push, I Am Number 4 etc. This year they finally made a good one. The chemistry between the actors, the effects, and the story all come together for a cohesive ride. The ending is a little drawn out but other than that.

See It.
