But things begin to change when Andrew, his cousin Matt and popular classmate Steve discover a mysterious substance that leaves them with incredible powers. As their abilities become more powerful, the teens' lives spin out of control when their darker sides begin to emerge. Andrew's camera captures the unfolding events.

Fun fact: the 'crystal' was actually an ancient creature, a species existed almost as long as Earth has. This creature would lure animals to it and infect it, having it mind controlled to go retrieve food for it, and give it powers to do so. This particular creature was dying though, and died half-way through the infection process. That's why they got the powers but never became slaves, but still quickly fell apart mentally
that is cool as freak
What is its food source? Earth materials like other crystals?
Source?
Source is needed
i remember hearing that a couple years back. forget if it was the official explanation by the writers or just a theory though.
"Matt continues speaking, but Andrew throws a bus at him"
Truly, a classic line
😂😂😂
@Eshan Reddy "She comes in peace with the fact that sometimes, people explode.", as if that's normal lmao
It's like a sociopath breaks down a movie. This line is on par with the "The town was not in a celebrating mood because of the exploding teenagers"
Noo 😭💀🤚🏾
That always happens, you can't do a whole lot about that
Steve was the strongest one… First able to fly. First able to move a car… But then dies from lightning. Plot hits hard
i think steve was the strongest, but andrew had the finest control
@@NTTofMistery I think Stevie was the strongest but Andrews emotions led him to have uncontrbale power
I think Steve was the strongest but Andrews emotions led him to be stronger becuase his power was uncontrbale
You mean strikes hard. 😉
@@NTTofMistery nah, Andrew is a school threat, he ain’t cool.
Matt goes from a nerdy guy that is to smart to hangout, to a very socially positive guy, it seems the powers had a good influence on him.
Same can't be sayed about Andrew it basically turned him into a villain
If I had those powers, I’ll use them when I think Is necessary
But nearly killing a driver and throwing a bus at someone isn’t necessary.
I really don't think it was just the powers that made him a villan though, abuse and bullying are the heavy weights on that part. But the powers sure pushed the situation to the extreme.
@@Reqcore it isn’t just the bullying and abuse, its that his entire life he’s felt ostracized. His own cousin didnt even enjoy hanging out with him, the only person who loves him is dying, his dad is abusive & he probably felt like it was him vs the world. Especially when the only person who cared about him ended up dying because he couldn’t get the medicine, he tried one last time to do something good, even if it meant he had to do something terrible to get it. I assume in a situation like that he just completely snapped and decided to go in full hunt mode after the choice of words his father gave him.
Maybe it's like the super soldier serum. Good becomes better and bad becomes worse.
Steve's death was heartbreaking. He seems to be a very nice guy
yeah i was mad when he died
steve was the black guy right? yeah that made me mad to because him and the cousin guy forgot his name would ahev used their powers for good but when the powers are given to a loner that has been abused you know its gonna be bad
@@Nature-556 yeah but its his father's fault
had the same feeling when Wallace died in the Wire.
yh and he was cute lol
Literally everyone was chilling except for andrew.
Yeah... Kinda sad that the movie didn't reveal what happened to his father after his death. I want to know if he changed, or still being an abuser.
@@benfrank9622 his dad is dead, he killed his step dad back at the hospital
@@magg2636 The dad survived.
I mean if you're bullied and abused by your father, I don't think you'll be chilling.
@@kezziahvalentino2450 To be realistic, Nobody is. And if they are, they need help.
This is basically what happened if the quiet kid got powers
Im your 69th like. And yes i also agree with what you commented lmao
Everyone was chill and cool except andrew lol
Yep correct, it also is a good interpretation of what makes the quite kid quiet
The American one yes lol
@@umbranight1628 "Americans bad funny haha"
I love how it's the main character that becomes evil and actually ends up dying for going too far. Usually, in superpower stories, the best friend of the main character is the evil guy that has to be stopped. I like that the main character isn't always the morally good guy, and that anyone could turn out that way, even the most important person in the story.
yeah in animes

Chronicle is a criminally underrated movie, seriously.
Nice name
It really is. Plus it's one of my most nostalgic early teen movies I looked at. Good times
For real.
I was really into this movie when it came out. I wanted it to happen to me so bad as a kid.
@@jacktrapper6201 I swear that when telekinesis became one of my favorite powers
i have to say that Steve was my favorite of the three, even though he was part of the popular group, he made time to be Andrew friend even though Andrew was a loser,i hated that Steve was killed
It was necessary to the descent of madness
Yeah, he was the best character
Same...
Ikr refreshing kind of character than the usual trope of popular people
Yeah but steve killed T,Challa
This movie was such a favorite of mine when I was a teen, something about it always touched me and still does. Which is weird because you usually don't get that from a sci-fi flick. The ending is always intense and bittersweet no matter how many times I've seen it.
Its not really sci fi tbh
@@boyman7823 That's extremely sci fi. Telekenesis is sci fi lmao
what’s the movie name
nvm
You should watch another Movie recap about a movie where a girls classmates randomly explode
This movie is so good because it shows how powers actually would have been used for teenagers. I would have done the same thing until it got out of hand.
@Deep Claymore dude it’s a movie
@@andrejackson7372 yeah so anything can happen lol
@Deep Claymore I'm not sure exactly what the point of the bloody nose was since it started happening without them using their powers, maybe if the movie showed them progressing growing more ill just because of the fact that they used powers at some point, then it would have more meaning. Or maybe the three are connected and that's why some of them bleed when the other was using their powers.
anyways, the "rule" was that they just keep practicing it like a muscle. like working out. Keep using it, and steadily progess to heavier and more complicated tasks.
@@asianpersuasion4901 I think the random nose bleeds are because they're connected like you said, whenever they experienced it Andrew was in emotional distress
@Deep Claymore i vaguely remember them mentioning that it's like a muscle. The more they use it, the stronger it becomes
This movie is basically like when the homies discovers powers
Everyone was chill except Andrew
facts bro
@@robbin4380 ong bro my guy needs a therapist
Man
What movie is this??
Andrew: wears firefighter suit
Also Andrew: "Looks like it's a good day to be on fire"
So it's actually real, I thought I imagined this movie as a kid. Memories flood back the moment I saw Andrew killing that spider. Such a nostalgic yet bittersweet movie.
Same I literally thought it was a fever dream
I’m in the same boat I thought I imagined it. I thought I just remembered the movie jumper wrong or something. Then I actually found It lol. I must’ve been 17-18 when it came out haha.
Steve's death was probably the saddest part because he took time to make friends with Andrew..... Rip both of them eventually, matt was the only logical thinking person
Honestly the movie was great until Steve dies. In my opinion it feels like if it was a movie where they help people it would have been better
Yeah, the last thing he said was that Andrew was his best friend :(
@@primechef2433 Yea, but we had that in every single superpowers movie, right? This is my favourite movie with superpowered humans because it's realistic
I mean if he didnt die then Andrew cant be the villian and there would be no story.
@@TyrantGamers Andrew could be a villain without killing Steve specifically
Main character's actor is so fucking talented, he was so underused in spiderman

He’s great in Valerian if you’ve never seen that movie I’d highly suggest👌🏽
@@TheNinjazeke thanks man
I had a vague memory of seeing this in the theater as a kid, for the life of me I couldn’t remember the name and started thinking maybe I imagined it lol. Now I I know what it was called 😂
I swear everyone lives the same life, I see so many weirdly specific memories that so many people have
Same except I saw this on TV and I remember watching it with my grandma late at night. I'm Turkish so I vaguely remember the dub for it too. I was very young then.

YOOO SAME!!!
same with y dad
Imagine seeing an advanced Magician Show and the very next night you see him flying and throwing buses around the city.

Reference to the spear to kill Andrew ? If not, Idk what you mean xD
I can feel andrew's pain being abused, ridiculed, ignored, mocked, laughed at, used, bullied, betrayed, cast aside. Implementing these actions on others can create monsters within them
That’s why we must treat people with respect except people who tailgate they don’t deserve to drive
I will say the ones becoming monsters already had something broken inside and the abuse *triggers* the monster. Many abused don't turn themselves into abusers, but some do.
I find it fucked up how Matt killed him when his back was turned
@@dakodablack7312 I mean what was he gonna do use talk no jutsu? I mean it works for me but he was too far gone for reality
@@jaimeduncan6167 we're all are monsters inside it just some of us just hasn't been pushed to a breaking point of just not caring anymore
The sad thing is, I think Steve's death was what started to pushed andrew over the edge, Steve was like an older brother figure to steve kinda encouraging him, motivating him, he was that older role model he never got from his father, so when he died the good in his life left too leaving Andrew, especially sense it was him that did it, to mentally spiral, becoming more and more angry and confused he tried to do something good to compensate by helping his mother, but when he heard she died and his dad started blaming him, he kinda just snapped.
Never seen a movie where the main character loses and dies
It’s refreshing honestly
He was the main character but he was still the villain
@@KG-jw4jg an antagonist
@@0.001mm_tolerancy No, he's a protagonist. A protagonist is the main character of the story, regardless of they're good or evil.
@@dzero1044 Yeah, you're probably correct...
I love how Matt the only one who barely used his powers was the one who survived because even although he was weaker than Andrew and Steve he had a level head and was able to think responsibly Steve was responsible and had level head but also was reckless I honestly think if Steve didn’t die he would’ve helped Matt with Andrew but not had been able to kill him but Matt was the only one who acted like a human an realized they weren’t above others, Andrew thought they were Gods and Steve was cocky but viewed as a joke Matt was the only one who took it seriously which is why I think he survived even tho he was weaker
Yeah steve was the most powerful but he died before he could show the full extent of his power
Damn bro really wrote a whole essay
@@Bopmyglizz I always saw Andrew as the more powerful one. It's a bit of a debate amongst the fans, since Steve thought of how he could use his powers in a different way, thinking outside the box, while Andrew had precision and control. Making the Space Needle with the legos and multitasking,
@@hardcoreking52 no. Steve powers developed faster. As he was able to move a car a short time after having his powers
@@Bopmyglizz was that Steve's powers developing faster or Steve trying something different? Andrew moved a car as well with a simple brush of his hand
It was so satisfying seeing Andrew fight back against his abusive dad

@@SockHiggins lol, I was kidding
@@SockHiggins Your the type that doesn’t hit read more
I feel like things would've turned out different if Steve hadn't died. Things started to fall apart after his death because he wasn't there to mediate. He was definitly the heart of the group.
All of this could have been avoided if Andrew had just told Matt that his dad was abusing him.
It's not easy to speak up about such things.
Heck, I'm capable of Telekinesis. At a certain time of the month, all I have to do is ask my wife if she rode in on a broom, and objects start flying across the room with incredible speed and accuracy.
😂
Lmao
Incredible speed and accuracy has me dying 🤣
Why does this not have more likes
what a boomer joke
Why did Andrew have to go on a mugging spree when he could’ve just secretly lifted some medicine of the shelf
Edit: why is this dumb what if question getting too much attention
True
The medicine wasn't enough.
And plus, the medical bills.
That’s what I thought to
That is exactly what I was thinking too
For the bills, he could've just sneak behind people and take their money, lol.
I love the little details. like at the end when Matt confronted Andrew, when they were using their telekinesis abilities to levitate over the ground at great heights or in other words, Flying they arent technically flying, they are just using their powers to float they cant control it exactly, so sometimes they just spin slowly before adjusting their position. Gotta love those details! its like how it would be if it was true.

@@TubsNSkins Reference to the Skyrim statistic meme)
i just love how people talk about this movie like : "if i have power, i would do this do that"
but the purpose of this movie is the struggle of Andrew life, the power is the metaphor for his emotional impulse ( the fact that it literally get stronger when Andrew get emotional, Andrew throughout the movie is the one who suffer the most, so his emotions is probably the strongest one out of 3, i mean he is able to fly first try, he save his friends, he crush the entire car,... etc... ) and that's why this movie is really good, because it's relateable by any mean
Steve was the real star, he developed the quickest and he actually cared for his homies

I haven't seen this movie in a minute. I just realized that Andrew might have lost control and directed the lightning to Steve
Yea I think it was to show that Andrew’s breaking point and him losing his humanity because once Steve died Andrew stopped caring and started harming his father and others although we don’t know if it was intentional or not because when Matt confronts Andrew asking him what happened he refuses to talk as if he’s guilty of purposely killing Steve personally I think it was an accident because he did try to save Steve but just wasn’t fast enough
I think it was confirmed by the director, according to TV Tropes at least, that the lightning was purely an accident, and no fault of Andrew.
@@speedslider3913 yeah just watching the clip MBJ just got hit by the storm. Movie is so underrated.

As a famous person once said; “With great power, comes great responsibility.”
This Movie Is Beyond Underrated
Omg I remember this movie it was good af
Tru Dat homeskillet
One of the best Ive ever watched.
If you like this movie then watch Akira, very similar plot and themes along with some amazing animation. Andrew is basically Tetsuo
This movie is crazy popular. I have no idea why you would think this is underrated
I really enjoyed this film. Probably because took a more "real" look at what would be a persons response to sudden supernatural or extraordinary power. Felt for all three.
Steve and Matt are the kind of people that want to use super powers for good but Andrew wants to use the power for revenge and crime
You look familiar
Same. This Film is this Best Sci-fi Film I've ever seen!
Andrew: I need a disguise to rob people
Wears a fire fighter suit that can be seen from miles away
Andrew: ah yes perfect
8:03 Fun fact: The pink-haired girl is the girlfriend (now wife) of Andrew's actor. She originally wasn't going to be in the movie until he convinced the director to do so.
“But andrew throws a bus at him” Oh okay just a normal thursday
Moral of the story:
Never trust a guy who choses Tibet as his first destination to visit after learning how to fly.

Matt is very lucky, he survived and kept his powers
It’s a shame we never learn anything about the crystal they found and the spiral formed by it, they included this theme but never elaborated it any futher
They announced that they’re making a second movie on this and explained the plot of the movie plus added more context on what the beings that gave them superpowers are
Steve is the happy, athletic popular one.
Andrew is the wierd, shy unpopular one.
Matt is the nerdy, weak unpopular one.
Well actually Matt was popular Steve and Matt were friends before the cave incident I would describe Matt as the Down to earth popular one
@@babygirllynn2264 Matt seems like the easy going guy who just kinda gets along with everyone

Matt was the nerd who thought he was on a different level as we hear from Ashley but happened to be friends with Steve
This is when u set your world to creative and everyone else is on hardcore
LOl minecraft in real life
This was such a diamond in the rough in terms of movies. Nicely acted and fairly realistic (imo) in the way that teens would use powers like that. So sad for Andrew… all that power and he couldn’t save his mom.
It was cool for them at first, having each other, sharing abilities like that. But now it’s got to feel so sad and lonely because he’s now the only one.
Too bad there's no part two of this movie. Then again, a sequel may ruin this masterpiece. I had dreams of flying 3 times in a row because of this movie, as opposed to the usual zombie apocalypse crap I've been dreaming 10% at the time.
But...zombie dreams are my favorite lol :(. Love blasting and running around avoiding them haha.
You can read the script online for the sequel
Power Rangers could be interpreted as a parallel universe. They’re pretty much the same, this is a bit more mature and somewhat based in reality.
Power Rangers is a bit more lore heavy revolving around the Morphing Crystals.
u guys have so cool dreams. my dreams are literally about me eating oreo on toilet while watching blue spongebob while levitating in a air with vampire outfit
i hate how my dreams always end up scary even tho i try not to

Really would have loved to see an ending with Andrew floating above the ground cross legged, meditating, with Tibetan monks also levitating.
Chronicle was an amazing movie, and I loved it. It'd be amazing if they did a sequel or a series based on the concept, if there was ever a time to do it. It'd be now, super heroes are huge and a drama based hero movie with actual "people" would be amazing.

So true i used to love that movie and i watched it all the time
Its one of the best British alien films
I see what you did there
That would be a nice movie to cover
I wish I had seen this when it came out. It looked so interesting. There's never really a focus on how they gained their powers. The movie dealt with the responsibility of having those powers. Steve was definitely the strongest, as he was the first to move a heavy object & levitate. Andrew only had control of his powers when he felt extreme emotions…and when he was angry, nosebleeds were an issue. Matt was the de facto leader, even though he wasn’t as strong as the other two. He created the rules and he tried to help his cousin as best as he could. He was the one who made the decision to kill Andrew in order to stop him from harming more people.
Steve's death hit so hard because he really wanted to help Andrew. He was a cool kid who had no problem befriending anyone. I don't think Andrew meant to kill Steve. Whenever Andrew had a first spike in power, it was usually uncontrollable. It's just tragic that Andrew didn’t see the damage he caused from killing a good person. Have to admit, it was satisfying to see him stand up to his father…but not at the hospital. Andrew's father needed help, just like Andrew needed help. His father was the real villain…and Andrew ended up being just as abusive as his father. Poor Matt will always have to watch his back.

"Smacked"? That's a smack? 1:05
He literally K.O.'ed dude
I always wondered if Steve never died, would he be the Goku of the three lol. He seemed to always be the first to do next level stuff with his powers. First to move cars and fly. Andrew's strength came from anger but Steve's seemed to come from pure creativity.
I think Steve was the one with the most potential, Andrew was the one with the most time and motivation to hone his powers during the movie. One of the main writers in an interview was talking about what the sequel to this movie would be. Matt would develop healing powers, closing wounds and moving cells to heal telekinetically. He would be more of a pacifist.
My headcanon on how the others' powers would develop would be that Andrew would be fueled by anger and prefers to attack from a distance; he would throw cars and buses. He did send down the lightning bolt that killed Steve so if he trains, Andrew might develop the power to charge particles in the air with telekinesis to make electricity or vibrate them so much to make heat, basically becoming a fire bender as well.
Steve is the most creative, I could see him totally using telekinesis to enhance physical attacks. Straight football rush, juggernaut burst through anything since I think he was an athlete. Then I could see him do some MMA-style fighting enhanced with telekinesis. Shields and barriers. Maybe even using telekinesis to make new things, like just grabbing some oxygen atoms and some hydrogen atoms and combining it to make water out of thin air. So much potential. It would be so awesome.

This is basically America’s Akira
Its the craft but with boys. Group of high schoolers gain powers, the one from an abusive household goes rogue and they have to stop them
This movie made me appreciate how beautiful Human Flight is from your Point of View.
This is like when a kid gets picked on at school everyday and gets sick of it and show up one day with his dad's gun but in Andrew's case he has powers
Yep
I always kinda saw Andrew as an ode to the Columbine shooters, especially since he mentions apex predators something the columbine shooters were obsessed with
I always felt really bad for Andrew and Steve, Steve didn't deserve to die but I still feel bad for Andrew no everyone
"Crushes a car behind him with ease"
Looks like he is taking a shit
Steve is the kind of friend we all need
I sympathize with Andrew and understand why it is he was driven to take the path he took by the end of this movie. BUT I think we need to understand that just because we sympathize with someone's situation/decisions. It doesn't mean that we actually AGREE with what that person may do/ has done as a result of what made us sympathize with them to begin with. What Andrew did was awful and there's nothing that can excuse the actions he took by the end of the movie. YES the people in his school where shitty for what they did to him and they 1000% needed to learn that their actions have very real consequences AND YES! Andrew's father was a complete sack of burning shit that deserved to burn in hell for treating Andrew the way he did.
But that doesn't change the fact that Andrew hurt and even KILLED people! If Andrew was still spoiler alert alive past the point things went the way they did. Andrew would have never been able to take what he did back. Once you take another person's life that's something you have to live the rest of your life knowing you did.
You can understand the motovations of a criminal but that person is still a criminal at the end of the day. Andrew had someone who actually cared about him in his cousin. But Andrew focused solely on the negatives of his life and he became something he probably would have never thought he could become, a killer.
I don't think we can excuse the fact that Andrew had a choice as a sentient person to become what he became. Andrew could have turned out very different by the end of this film. Had he remembered that he had people who did actually fucking care about him, and that he actually wasn't alone. Unfortunately his newfound power blinded him to that fact. Because as the old saying goes "No one is born evil, they grow up to become evil".
I don’t think he had a choice tbh
@@dakodablack7312 he did he could’ve became so much different if he had just accepted health I sympathise with him but what he did is still unforgivable

I forgot all about this movie, I really enjoyed it in high school seeing it back then, I thought it was a really cool take on what could happen when normal teens get super powers. You suddenly hand someone a god like power, it's honestly kinda hard not letting it get to your head.
No matter how old this movie is... I love the end where Matt records himself in memory of Andrew....... I just love that shot
Still a good friend, after all that.
Glad that Matt was able to find peace at the end
Funny if Andrew wasn’t wounded already and off some of the hospital drugs he would’ve easily won that finally battle
Naw he’s a coward
Very true
Yea Andrew was the most skilled/versatile with his powers but Steve had the most raw power
if he wasnt already injured he probably would have taken the fight to the skies he tries to at the start but its too much strain. once they were both in the air it woulda ended up like with steve andrew woulda just killed him by conjuring a storm with his emotions.
True.

@@user-do4uo8sr1w its weird cause what if your like having a nightmare. You trying to protect yourself but at the same time in the real world. You drop somebody?
@@iMrp1 I got a costume in mind that I'd put to use, but probably never use in public.
This movie is such a banger. It’s one of the first movies I saw that was the dark twist on powers.
I love the hilariously simple hum-drum accuracy of the description of these videos.
its a really well made movie, when we see the security footage from the gas station we can see the Andrews camera still floating next to him, and again in the hospital when the dad is shaking him, the security camera shows the tri pod sliding closer simulating the zoom in shot from the camera's pov
The first thing I would try do if I had powers like this is to see if I could take all the plastic out of the ocean
Be my best friend😖😫
Andrew is the quiet kid but instead of having a guitar case when he’s the trumpet player he has telepathetic abilities 😂
LMAO
Telepathetic 💀
Now this is an underrated gem, loved this movie and the documentary style is the icing on the cake
So thankful someone recapped this movie. Watched it years ago and it seriously left an imprint on me. Really good movie with an awesome premise
Chronicle is one of the best found footage movies.
Chronicle and troll hunter are my 2 favourite found footage films
@@Sundowner13 haven't heard about troll hunter. Lemme check. Thanks.
nah
I personally like the REC films as my favourite found footage films
@@kylejones1532 I watched that movie last year. Very realistic and creepy af.
During my undergrad, I wrote my capstone thesis on how society creates its own monsters, using media such as Frankenstein, Push, X-Men, and Jumper to illustrate how often "bad guys" are formed by the greater society treating them like outcasts and then becoming surprised when they become violent and angry. This movie would have been a great addition to my thesis.
