Akiracle

I don't need to get into it having read imdb boars about chronicle. It's akira meets cloverfield. I guess some stupid kids will see it as original and that's their business or whatever so enjoy it. I kinda didn't like how utterly unoriginal the idea was. I enjoyed the fx though and it's identifiable how the nerdy kid goes berserk on everybody. that's the most interesting thing about the movie is how bleak it is about people and doesn't try to give us a disney-fication of reality. People are shit, is basically what the movie says and is why tetsuo boy goes nuts on the world with his powers. one wonders if the director was just unleashing his fury on all the assholes he's met in life. I'm not going to say tetsuo-boy was even wrong for going on a rampage. Maybe morbidly the film is justifying his actions in a not so family friendly flowers and happiness message to the world that if you get shot up in school, just maybe you shouldn't have fucked with that kid.

Can't say I disagree.
