Chronicle- teen superpowers
Just saw it at Amazon pay per view, as I missed it in theaters.
Very interesting story about 3 HS buddies who come upon a buried spacecraft?
and acquire telekinetic powers.
A study in "limitless"power and how it can change folks.....
Films like Inception or Limitless were far more complex, but this was funny-tragic-poignant and well worth seeing. From the POV of teens learning to deal with suddenly acquired abilities rather than professional adults in such a position.
And entirely different from superhero type stories like Spiderman, etc.
"Phenomena" was somewhat similar, yet wholly different in tone, message and plot. It's worth a look, IMO.
Reminds me much of "The Lawnmower Man," in tone , moral message.,, though that was high tech sci fi.
