Chronicle

Definitely didn't reach it's full potential

With a great concept, being different from most conventional super-hero movies, they had a lot of potential to develop the movie into something great. Unfortunately we never were able to get to know the characters and develop a connection with them which left the emotional scenes had little effect on me as a viewer. The CGI was rather obviouse too and the...

awsome

entertaining i love this movie i enjoyed it and its sucj a awsome movie i loved it

Chronicle, hmmm, story story really...

It was very similar to the filming of 'Blairwitch', and 'Cloverfield' with gifts likened to 'Hancock', appearing shot through amateur video recorders. Although it had some good camera tricks and angles the movie left me wanting more, like an episode fo something good. It was enjoyable to see these gifts the guys could do however the flick just didnt deliver...

It's super scary

So worth going to as it is a new take on superpowers. It's quick and clear in story telling, has nasty moments and a bit of death. I'd see it again

Refreshing perspective, realistic characters

I often feel that having believable and sympathetic characters is the main factor that raises a film from average to great, and Chronicle certainly achieved this. From the beginning, you can clearly picture those sorts of guys in an average American high school. What I didn't expect from the film was the amount of humour (well, more at the beginning) which...

Needs a proper camera operator

The storyline was interesting, as was the character development. The flight scenes were great. But it is all filmed via handy cam from a kid that looks ill and is so shaky I got motion sickness in the first minute and never recovered. Add the flickering lights and I ended up with a major headache. Not fun.

leave me alone or i'll eat your brains!

the only thing bad about this movie was dolby digitals new logo. it is in the realism genre though so many people may get sick of the handy-cam, but, all that aside it rocked. an 'm' but still graphic enough to give a little intensity at times. I don't think shakespeare could have put a better ending to an obvious plot (which was fantastic) cataclysmicly...

Rivetingly alternate superhero yarn

I'll be the first to admit that going into this Flicks preview, I wasn't expecting Chronicle to be all that great. The trailers hadn't really done much for me and I worried that the film would struggle to engage lovers of the genre, like myself. Happily I was proven wrong. This is an immensely enjoyable sci-fi with a young director and cast set for big...

Really satisfying

I didn't expect much from Chronicle, particularly since it has been hyped quite a lot in the media, which is rarely a good sign. I was therefore really happy to experience a complex movie with interesting cinematic ideas and enough themes to keep everyone happy. For those wanting a bit more emotional depth, the characters' relationships develop plausibly....

Much better than expected

Surprisingly good. Dark, witty, smart and fast paced, a great popcorn movie. Promoted as a 'found footage' film, along the lines of Blair Witch, Cloverfield etc, but the use of multiple 'found' cameras means this movie is far less restricted than others of the genre. Try not to read too much about the film, keep your expectations in your pocket and you'll...
