9.75 out of 10
Chronicle starts out with a kid, Andrew, starting up a camera he bought and says that he is going to start filming everything, as his dad bangs on his locked door, threatening him to open it. He films everything around him, from the neighborhood 'Douche-bags' to where he eats lunch, to the school bully, to his sick mother.
Andrew is kind of a loner, without any friends at school. His cousin, Matt, invites him to a party at an abandoned store by a forest. Andrew declines, but as the time for the party rolls around, his father yells at him, angering Andrew, which makes him change his mind about the party. Matt picks him up and they head to the party.
At the party, Andrew films the place, and douche comes up and yells at him for 'filming his girlfriend'. Andrew goes outside and cries, depressed about all of this. One of the popular kids from school comes up, Steve, and asks why he is crying. He invites him to come with him to a 'cool thing' they found.
Andrew follows Steve into the forest, where Matt is hovering over a hole in the ground. Steve hops into the hole, followed by Matt, to which Andrew is left with no choice but to follow them. About 20 yards through a dark damp tunnel, they find a strange thing, of which messes with Andrew's camera, not allowing it to film it well. Their noses starts bleeding, and they pass out.
What made this movie as good as it is, is that it didn't bother dabbling in the exposition, or how they got their powers. Chronicle also had very realistic characters, and a realistic setting. They weren't good or bad. And not only that, but it never stuck to just one mood. It had lots of laughs at the beginning, and was very cool, and even sad at the end.
I definitely say watch it while it is still in theaters, and when it comes out, buy it and frame it on the wall.
