Chronicle is what happens when you update Carrie for this generation (and actually make it better in my humble opinion).
It stars some no-name actors (to me at least): Alex Russell, Dane DeHaan, and Michael B. Jordan, whose exploits we follow via their camera footage, before and after they gain telekinesis.
For a movie based on such a fantastical premise... this movie is pretty damn believable. It has interesting characters, and their evolution is quite engaging and entertaining.
I say it's definitely WATCHABLE.
QBF Rating: 3.5/5
PS: Somehow the older I get, the more I identify with the Mutant Registration Act from the X-Men, as stories like this highlight the dangers of unstable persons with super-powers. Granted that's not an issue in the real world, but still...
