Rating : 3/4
Andrew, Matt and Steve aren't exactly heroes, they are just three kids who stumble upon (tumble down actually) telekinesis - ability to move objects with thought - and then start having fun with it; first in seclusion and then getting progressively bolder. Andrew, the perpetual loner, suddenly has friends who share his superpower, and is suddenly popular at school where his "talent" for magic is out for display. Thankfully, Andrew is not your friendly neighborhood Peter Parker - he is not averse to dispensing gruesome and sometimes fatal punishment to bullies and obnoxious people. He knows that his admirers aren't exactly admiring him and begins to prefer being a super-powerful loner to being restricted by friendship, family or morality.
The supporting two characters aren't well drawn out, but that's okay, we do not really want to know the good guys who are in the way of Andrew's path to self-destruction. The climactic one-on-one chasing and bashing was a little drawn out, but mostly interesting. The Chronicle is amateur video but its no amateur film-making, its worth a watch at the theater and, a while later, another on your TV.
P.S. The shaky cam does not give you a headache, it is stable or close to it more often than not
