Chronicle (Josh Trank, 2012)


Notes on Chronicle:

Andrew (Dane DeHaan) becomes obsessed with recording everything. He gains superpowers and begins utilizing them in order to achieve impossible crane shots. Never allowing anyone to stop him from recording. He want to become the apex predator (master filmmaker).

The first 2/3's of the film are a lot more interesting that the last third where its main concern becomes blowing things up.

The scene in the cave was somewhat beautiful; mostly because this giant blue orb that ends up giving our protagonists superpowers causes Andrew's camera to glitch, creating incredible abstract pixelation.

Watch it instead of Super 8.
