Chronicle

     If you were given the chance to choose a super hero power to have, what power would you like to have?  And what would you do with it?

     I'm sure in some point of your life you had always fantasized about being a super hero.  Like Superman who can fly, or Spider Man who can crawl up walls.  Chronicle is about three teenagers who all became close because of being in contact with an alien life form.  Andrew Detmer (Dane DeHaan) is a normal high school student who started filming his every day life.  He is always accompanied by his cousin Matt Garetty (Alex Russell) to school and has always been the only friend he had.  One night, he came across Steve Montgomery (MIchael B. Jordan) in the woods who invited him to film a hole he found together with Matt.  Inside the hole, they found a cave and a crystal which was glowing.  After a while, they suddenly passed out from hearing a loud screeching sound coming from within the crystal.  Three weeks passed and they suddenly develop super powers, and as the days go by, they realize the their powers were getting stronger as they practice them.

     They suddenly use their powers in public by trying to play tricks on people, after a incident that led to one person being injured and sent to the hospital; they promised to each other that they wouldn't use their powers on living creatures.  Chronicle much relates to a young super hero's beginning, finding out that you had powers, trying to impress a guy/girl with it, trying to help out the public, you would really appreciate how it tries to teach the people that having super powers is not just being able to show it, but also being able to be responsible in using it.

     As what Spider Man's grand pa told him, "With great powers comes great responsibility".  Watch Chronicle now in your nearest movie house!  You'll definitely enjoy it! ^_^
