CHRONICLE
One of the best sci films in the
past few years (and its not even superhero-related). Directed by
Joshua Trank, the film tells the story of three friends finding
telekinetic powers from an undetermined source and centers on how their
powers transform their normal lives leading to a somewhat tragic end.
The film is told in the so-called ‘found footage’ style (similar to
Cloverfield’ and Quarantine) and
although laden with not-so-expensive special effects, the CGIs interwove
with the plot excellently; and better yet, unlike with Green Lantern,
Thor or Ironman in which the CGIs overshadowed the plot, Chronicle
offers a relatable, interesting and endearing story altogether.
I
wasn’t able to watch this in the theatres but after seeing several
snippets from the web, I finally got the dvd and it certainly didn’t
disappoint. Better that Super 8 (produced by Steven Spielberg), this
film is worthy of your DVD / Bluray collection.
My Rating : A-
