Movie: Chronicle
A victim of its own success. The special effects are (mostly) so well done and so integrated into the environment that they completely lack drama, when they're supposed to be the focus of the movie.
The rest of the movie is just... boring. Daytime television stuff. Blah blah teenage kid has a hard life, pushed around by drunk father and school bullies, lashes out uncontrollably and gets killed. I've never been a fan of the found-footage format, and this film does nothing to make me change my mind on that front.
Honestly, it made me think I was watching a ninety-minute TV series intro. It's perfectly set up at the end for the last character we see to begin Walking the Earth as a Knight Errant.
Might make a better TV show than a movie, actually. Wandering telekinetic, always trying to find the secret of the glowing blue rock thing that the authorities may or may not have taken off to an Area 51 lab, doing good along the way.
