Thumbs Up Chronicle = Good ass movie.

I really liked this movie. I was entirely captured by what was going to happen next, and how the characters were going to end up. What I loved most about the movie was the philosophy behind it. You have a socially inadequate kid (Andrew) in high school, who is a nobody. Who gets bullied constantly. Then you have the well-liked football player (Steve) who is favored by everyone of his peers (even the loner kids). Then you have the cocky (Matt) who is reasonable and popular. Just 3 normal guys you'd expect out of any high school. In the beginning, you feel very little for the characters. All we know is that 3 kids stumbled across a superpower.

The the movie brings forth many philosophical questions. I loved the philosophical theme of the movie. It subtly questions if whether "humans are beings of pure will", mentioned early in the movie. And later, it mentions the idea of the Apex Predator--how it does not need to feel guilt when it kills a weaker being. It shows how volatile powers can get when two people disagree, may it be about super powers, economic or political powers.



It starts off innocently and it seems reasonable to what the kids were doing--trolling people with their superpowers, fighting back at bullies, impressing your friends. But how much is too much? Later in the film, it shows how much destruction it can cause, and can even become part of you, even if you don't want it to. They start realizing that they need rules, and whether if they deserved to have such power.



I won't get too much into it, but it's basically a story about 3 kids who stumble across a super power, and their rise and fall, and how it affects their friendship. Two of the kids (Matt and Andrew) tend to use it for humorous and mischief, while the loner kid (Andrew) uses his powers for much darker purposes.

I just thought they wasted their powers. If I had those powers my troubles in life would be over, and so would anyone who dared to stand in my way. I would amass a fortune and live the good life.

spoiler: i think the 'thing' they found in the beginning was an alien... by communicating with it they somehow unlocked hidden powers in the human brain, as an alien experiment.

I liked it too, i thought the ending was kind of corny though. They could have done a lot more with the movie imo like better fight scenes but overall i thought it was pretty great.

Some of the SFX were pure garbage, like the magic trick with the balls. Looked like a 5 year old did the animations on that.

Can someone explain to me what happened when that guy was finally going to get laid... then the girl stormed out angry with jizz all over her?
Did he mega-jizz all over her?
Did he levitate the jizz?

He threw up from all the beer he was having. He mentioned he didn't drink earlier, so he probably had no tolerance.

To be honest, I thought it turned pretty gay halfway through. The others weren't having any adverse power tripping shit, why wouldn't he just be HAPPY?

His dad was a dick? If I had the ability to curl buildings like tin foil, I sure as hell wouldn't be sitting in a shitty house with an abusive dad, taking undeserved shit from him, I'd be going Dr Manhattan on everyone's ass. Instead he acted like a gayboy.

I generally agree with you.
I mean, teen angst is a potent thing... for mortals
but with a gift like that... Id be getting laid 24/7
And I would be collecting big sums of money also, and spending big and having a good time.
I would also take the abusive dad, and force hime to watch me have a good time.
