the whole first person perspective, which worked well in blair which and cloverfield doesn't really make sense in this one. apart from that it's not bad and an interesting aproach to the genre.

Degisik bir 'super guclere sahip insanlar' filmi.

Pretty good, although I don't like the shooting style and the script fell apart near the end.

the central character arc is more reckless and complex than most would give it credit for.

I enjoyed the realistic exploration of their newfound powers, and the genesis of the bad guy: the beaten-on adolescent who finally bites back.

A totally unoriginal mix of Unbreakable, Cloverfield, and _insert_ teen high school movie. It also doesn't help that the best character is killed off in the most Hollywood cliche manner for minorities. That leaves two goofy teen movie guys flying around in the sky like peter pan which looks cheesy no matter the context. Apparently being an "apex predator" means being an asshole with your powers instead of understanding what the term means too. This could have used far less suburban angst.

Better than a lot of other superpower films but I just felt like they could have done so much more. The found footage aspect also felt just thrown in.. and what the fuck was that ending?

America's Akira works well, even if the pacing could have been a lot better (the ending to this movie was equivalent to about the first 40 minutes of the source material), and their "Tetsuo" could have been a lot more developed. Despite my dislike of the shaky-cam style, it works slightly better here, but every time I hear someone ask "Do you mind if I film you?" it makes me want to crush a car with my mind.

Alright; can we stop with all the camera nonsense already? Really. This is just another cliché of a film riding on the back of other's work.

I AM AN APEX PREDATOR

Cinema's greatest heel turn since Anakin Skywalker.

What the heck? An interesting experiment of the amalgamation of superpowers and puberty.

weak. just too weak in every sense of film making.

the end could be better, but the movie is great

If you present the story as a narrative, than I just accept that. If you present it as a documentary, than I will hold you to that. They lose the first camera and never get it back. So we saw that how? If you're going to abandon the constraints of found footage by having it never be found, than go ahead and just lose the whole gimmick.

If you're one of those people who hate documentary stye films. I hate them more. Cloverfield is crap, The River is crap, Paranormal Activity is crap, Quarantine is below crap. That being said, I wanted to watch Chronicle; and bloody! It paid off! Watch this film!

Very decent... Everything seems a bit rushed though, especially the somewhat weak ending.

[Director's Cut]

For those who like realism in their superhero movies.

at first, i thought "oh no, is it gonna be shot in home video fashion all the time?". but soon enough you get used to it, and the realism this adds fits actually pretty well. you won't really relate to any of the characters, but i think that's not the point. it still manages to draw you in somehow, if merely by making you think "what would i do?" sadly, the ending is pretty weak, otherwise it really is a good movie.

Probably the best-ever use of the hand-held amateurish camera in a feature film. On top of this Chronicle offers a compelling story, great acting, excellent sound and visual effects. The whole thing just seems to have exceptionally high production value. One of the best films of 2012.

I can admire the film's attempt to be realistic, but it was only an attempt and the result was an average film with a remotely interesting idea somewhere in the background.

Andrew in this movie is not like "Precious" . on that movie although Precious parents have a bad behavior with her but the guys around her and herself have a little hope but in this movie Andrew is alone and gets more alone . I believe he is not a bad person but under bad circumstances he turned to a monster . that was exactly the movie I expected from it's theatrical trailer .

The new approach for the super hero theme was touching. I love Danish way to handhold camera work, but the American way to make it "real" with amateur camera shooting just didn't work. Not in Blair Witch Project, not here. Effects did not work either that good and there was holes in the story, but the idea was worth to study. More rewriting with the script would have improved the movie.

solid and entertaining interpretation of acquiring a super power...it would be much better if it wasnt in the stupid "look what I filmed on my camera" style

This was well-done with a satisfying twist on the superhero genre. It's a little too straight-forward, with an explanation of found footage which came off as pretty weak, but I enjoyed the fun aspects of seeing teenagers with these powers, and eventually the evil downfall. The drunk father who hits his kid, and sick mother subplots tried a bit hard, but overall this was just fun in the beginning with a few delightfully dark turns in the final third.

This rocks. Swift, scrappy, sharply characterized--there are some plot holes, maybe, but this is the kind of invigorating filmmaking that sticks with you for days afterward. While taking care to remain small and human in scale, this successfully puts the awe back in superhero flicks, especially in that climax, which is literally jaw-dropping in all the right ways. Visceral and exceptional; I wanna see it again right now.

Pretty damn awesome (Var bedre første gang jeg så den)

A very pleasant surprise, after almost giving up on it having seen the trailer. Thought the trailer had spoiled what looked like a lame-ass plot-driven shit movie, but this was anything but. Great performances by the youngsters. The camera style was mostly just annoying, though, severely hurting the film. Hope to see a sequel. Oh, and how great with a blockbuster that isn't 2h20m, but is properly cut to fit the story.

I hadn't heard anything about this except for a friend recommending it. So it really took me by surprise. I like its realistic approach to see what happens when three different teenagers, leading different lives, fighting different demons, react to suddenly being given superpowers; a reaction that evolves with their strength. The realistic approach is enforced, btw, by using the "found footage" concept (however not really necessary). A still have mixed feelings about the hollywood ending though.

the other 2 leads make this movie watchable but the main character ruins what could have been a great film

People bitch about found footage but this movie would have fucking sucked shot straight up. Very entertaining film.

The characters are annoying, the "social realism" elements even worse. Most terrible of all, perhaps, is the ending. And I usually love the found footage sub-genre. This should have been great.

Why save the world with your superpowers, when you can use them to do pranks at the local mall? A fun spin on the genre, that should've stucked with the low-key, high school style all the way.

Quite surprisingly, Chronicle annihilated any negative expectations I had about it. It is a very entertaining movie worth checking out.
