12 The Voice, For Students, By Students | February 22, 2012 | www.issuu.com/fsuvoice | send news tips to the editor; thevolce.fsu@gmail.com CALENDAR EVENTS MOVIEREVIEW The CHRONICLE By Cammion Terry Being one of the first films of 2012,1 can honestly say that “Chronicle” has a great chance of being one of the best films of the year. MSNBC reported that “Chronicle” has made an estimated $22 million from U.S and Canadian theaters, thus trumping “The Woman In Black,” which made an es timated $21 Million. Also being the directo rial debut of Josh Trank, it was a wonder ful turnout with the budget just under $15 Million. I’m not going to spoil the film in this critique, but if I were to sum up the whole movie in one sentence I would say “Chron icle” is why God decided not to give us su perpowers. The story is centered mainly on Andrew (Dane Dehaan), a troubled teen dealing with an identity crisis, bullying, and domes tic abuse at home. Andrew’s cousin Matt (Alex Russell) is your average teen trying to enjoy high school, find a girlfriend, and all the while, avoiding his weird cousin. Then there is Steve (Michael B. Jordan) the class president and all around popular kid on campus. The style of the film is similar to the “Paranormal Activity” series, where a main character is recording events with a home video camera. Andrew in “Chronicle” be gan filming his father when he would have abusive alcoholic episodes. The event that brings these three characters together hap pens at a party where they wander into the Courtesy of www^.fllmofilia.com woods and stumble upon an underground cave. After some exploration they find a massive glowing crystal. As they walk clos er, they all start to feel weaker and eventu ally faint. The next day Andrew starts re cording their new powers of telekinesis and flight. At first it was all fun and games. But as they grow stronger, the whole concept “with great power comes great responsibil ity” is disregarded. This movie provides the viewer with a great experience full of action, drama, and even real life scenarios. Anyone 18 to 25-years-old can truly relate to this. This movie will make you think about what it would be like if humans had superpowers, and at the same time demonstrate why it’s better that we don’t have them. All in all, I give this feature a solid 9.5 out of 10. ON CAMPUS: MUSIC SEMINAR: THE ART OF THEMATIC IMPROVISATION - DR. QREGG QELB Wednesday, Feb. 22,12-1 p.m. in the Rosenthal Ensemble Rooms.
