Chronicle/Jumper

A double bill of sci-fi thrillers. In 'Chronicle' (2012), three high school friends, Steve (Michael B.

Jordan), Matt (Alex Russell) and Andrew (Dane DeHaan), become endowed with superpowers after making a once-in-a-lifetime discovery in an underground crater.

Initially using their new-found powers to let loose a range of teenage pranks whenever they feel like it, the trio soon find their friendship pushed to the limit when Andrew's ambitions take an altogether darker route, testing the very limits of their morality and sending their lives spinning out of control.

In 'Jumper' (2008), Hayden Christensen stars as a young man able to teleport himself to any place on earth.

After discovering he has a genetic anomaly that allows him to teleport wherever he wants, teenager David Rice (Christensen) embarks on a hedonistic lifestyle of girls, money and travel, indulging his every whim, and using his power to fund his desires.

It's not long, however, before he discovers that others share his power, and that the underground community of 'Jumpers' are being targetted by 'Paladins', a group dedicated to their destruction.

Pursued by a Paladin named Roland (Samuel L. Jackson), Rice and fellow jumper Griffin (Jamie Bell) soon find themselves fighting for their lives as their sworn enemies close in.
