While three high school friends explore a forest, they discover a mysterious hole in the ground. After going inside and examining the hole, they unexpectedly attain superpowers. Initially, the three friends naively experiment with their newly acquired powers, but when one of them grows too strong and begins to abuse his powers, he goes spiraling out of control and many innocent lives are put in grave danger...
Chronicle is unquestionably one of the most inventive superhero movies of all time. The creative plot develops remarkably well. Writer Max Landis creates an original story that contains drama, sympathy, and amusement. Most of the movie is spent on developing characters, but the end of the film is action packed. I, for one, was definitely not disappointed with Chronicle. My girlfriend was obviously not as thrilled, since she fell asleep about half way through the movie. If you enjoy superhero movies and appreciate creativity and originality, Chronicle will be a pleasant surprise for you. However, if you dislike first-person movies (e.g. Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, Quarantine), I would highly recommend staying away.
7.5/10- See it
