Win with Nu Metro and Chronicle… oh and us..

1 min read

It’s our first of many competitions here on TheMovies and I couldn’t think of a better way to kick things off other than by supporting an awesome looking movie, Chronicle, and giving you all a chance to go and see it for free thanks to our new found friends at Nu Metro.

Nu Metro have kindly given us 4 double tickets to give away this week and the way we’re going to do it is pretty simple, all you need to do is watch this trailer for the movie Chronicle and then let us know is the comments either what you would do with the super powers of the kids if you had them or otherwise what super powers do you wish you had?

You receive one entry into the competition for every valid comment made so if you have 5 ideas put them in 5 comments.

That’s it, the draw will be done on Friday so good luck and keep checking back for tons of new movie news and trailers every day.

Oh and while you’re here how about following us on Twitter and liking us on Facebook and once again a big thanks to Nu Metro for stepping up to the plate so please follow them on twitter as well.

The double tickets can be used to see any Nu Metro movie so even if Chronicle’s not your thing there is no reason not to enter anyway. Competition only open to residents of the fantastic Republic of South Africa

    I think super powers are only slightly useful if there is a super villain to fight against… If I could choose a super power, it would either be invisibility or Telekinesis.

    I know its the norm, but I would choose Super Man’s powers. Massive potential with those large range of powers, for good or evil.

    If I could choose a power… it would be that of Terrence Ward (Trauma). Shape-shifting into a person’s worst fear to help them overcome said fear. Lame perhaps, but must be the psychologist in me.
    Powers do double up as offensive also. Win-win!

    If I had those super powers I’d part the traffic like Moses parted the Red Sea, and occasionally High Five people in the face with a floating chair.

    If I had to choose, an interesting power would be to control H20 in it’s liquid form, allowing you to rapidly accelerate any water in your enemies body, since we’re about 80% water you pretty much be overpowered. Also help fight dirty water coming out of my tap, INSTANT WATER DISTILLATION! possibilities are endless.

    I want to be invisible, go to the banks and steel money and give it to the Poor – Like a modern Robin Hood. Also, I want to have the ability make people smarter and give lessons to the world leaders, so that they can act like leaders and become heroes to their own people. Then everybody will be happy.

    Teleportation. Imagine this: you’ve woken up way past your alarm clock and you’ve already gotten a couple of warnings from your boss for being late. Well, with teleportation, there’s no need to fret. All you have to do is get yourself dressed and transport your whole body over from your room to your office. Case closed. Suck it, boss. Bored on a Saturday afternoon? Why not check out the beaches in Australia for a few hours before you need to be home in time for dinner? The possibilities are really endless. The best part is that traveling no longer has to be a long endeavor which sometimes forces interaction with really annoying people. Teleportation could make that happen.

    The movie looks awesome, definitely a twist on the superhero movie… maybe a bit like x-men first class, but without Magneto’s ‘anti-hero’ character, this kid in Chronicle looks genuinely bad-ass.

    Also, if I had powers, it would be that of Dr Manhattan. The blue dude from the Watchmen movie and graph. novels. Not even Superman can compete with the Doc.

    Or, I’d take the strongest super power known to the universe: The Power of Plot. Example:
    “Oh my, a bank robbery / kidnapping / nefarious deed is in progress!”
    “Hang on ma’am, I’ve got it covered”
    later …
    “Problem solved!”
    “But how did you manage that?”
    “Oh, no don’t worry about it, I took care of it in the panel that said ‘later…’

    Don’t win this comp? No problem, jump back and try one of my other ideas 😛

    It’s like having a quicksave for life so that you can try multiple options…

     Would be cool to have the stretchy ability of Mister Fantastic (Fantastic Four). Just imagine the possibilities:

    1. Sitting at your pc, you’re hungry/thirsty, but lazy, so you just stretch your arm into the kitchen and grab summin’!
    2. Same as above, but you need to pee (lol, if you catch my drift)
    3. Technically you can’t die from brute force, as your body will just shape to accomodate the object
    4. You can become a human paracute
    5. If you play cricket, you can catch a guy out that would have hit a 6 into the stands
    6. Want to bungee-jump? No problem, kust tie your foot to a bridge

    If I had telekinetic abilities like the kids in Chronicle, I’d be a taxi-clearing force on Jhb roads in the morning, oh the fun.  Problem is these kids get nosebleeds from their powers so I’d probably die of massive blood-loss on my very first morning.  Either that or I’d be “that superhero with toilet paper plugs in his nose” 🙂
