Reviews:

Awkward loner Andrew (Dane DeHaan, soon to appear as Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2) is invited by his more affable cousin Matt (Alex Russell, Bait, Carrie) to go to a party, to help cheer him up. Andrew has problems at home; his mother is dying of cancer, the cost of her medication has become prohibitive, and his dad is an abusive drunk. Andrew brings with him the bulky old video camera he’s been using of late to document… I dunno, the misery of his life I suppose. Anyway, once at the party Matt, mildly embarrassed by his cousin following him around with a camera, peels off away from Andrew to hang with some of the cooler kids, including the impossibly popular but genuinely decent Steve (Michael B. Jordan, The Wire, Friday Night Lights). The camera causes further problems for Andrew and he’s unceremoniously ejected from the party. He’s found outside by the aforementioned Steve, and invited to come with him and Matt to check out a weird hole in the ground in the woods nearby (elements of the party had spilled outside into the darkness, as these things do from time to time). Andrew, Matt and Steve venture down this hole, which turns out to be more of a tunnel, leading to… what is that? A space rock of some sort? Something mineral, and glowing, and a bit scary. Upon exiting the hole, the trio find that they possess mild levels of telekinesis, the ability to move objects with their minds. They also find that with practice, they can strengthen that ability. They soon graduate from levitating Lego bricks to flying through the air. Andrew proves to be particularly adept with this new “talent”, and that proves to be problematic, because where Matt and Steve are content to limit their telekinetic use to mild pranks and perhaps flying somewhere interesting on holiday, Andrew’s home life, general isolation and subsequent mood swings as a result of each cause him to want to embrace his power – and for him, it’s grown into a potentially deadly power, now – in altogether different ways indeed.

With Chronicle, writer Max Landis (son of John “An American Werewolf in London” Landis) and director Josh Trank have taken some fairly tired areas (cinéma vérité, superhero origin tales) and made something decent and fresh with them, for comparatively little money (budget was $12m apparently, looks like five times that). It’s not a perfect film – the first-person narrative’s need to justify its camera angles leads to one or two bum notes despite the fairly ingenious device of having Andrew telekinetically “float” the camera around behind him; some of Andrew’s worst rages during the second act – including one with devastating consequences – seem badly disproportionate to the infraction, disconnecting us from the character (though perhaps that’s the idea); and the abusive father (Michael Kelly, Dawn of the Dead, Did You Hear About the Morgans?) seems unrealistically so. But these are things I thought about after having seen the movie. The movie’s tone and pace, and the performances of the three newly-empowered young men particularly, carry the movie very well right to the brisk 78th minute end (minus the credits).

Recommended.

Great watch, will watch again, and can recommend.

I am partial to found footage style of shooting, so I understand if that’s not for you.

Dane DeHaan does a lot of the heavy lifting in this movie, but Michael B. Jordan is right behind him, alongside Alex Russell. It is almost literally just these 3 guys filming each other as they gain, experiment, and grow their supernatural abilities. There are some supporting cast, but they’re more there as plot devices, and another camera angle. Found footage is not easy to do, which is why everyone complains about it.

This is a very natural feeling movie with some dark aspects too it. I really think you can feel when the mood changes in this movie. It also brings up some great points on the “reality” of if people gained super powers.

While most people would claim to be Captain America, the reality is that people tend to do whatever they can get away with, so creating a checks and balances with one’s co-supernaturals makes sense, but the reality is enforcing that turns it into super “hero” versus super “villain”.

Surprisingly, this movie reminds a little bit of “Hancock”, but probably not quite as good, mostly just different.

If you like dark, edgy super power stuff or found footage, give it a go.

Great Power, No Responsibility
Chronicle is not really a superhero movie. It uses its themes but none of the characters are using their powers for virtues and justice. It’s all fun and games until they get into trouble. It’s a great idea but it could have been filmed in a regular filmmaking style. The hand-held camera fails to make the film credible. Despite from that, the film tells a great story with a great twist. The actors are fun. The CGI is good enough. The film is short and small but it’s undeniably exciting and really compelling than any other big blockbuster films we usually get.

Chronicle abandons the clichés of superhero films. Usually, when they discovered their powers, they use it to save someone and make their own costume and save the day. The movie asks, what will happen if teenagers in real life have superpowers? In this film, the kids are just recording themselves having fun with their powers. And one of them will use it more for revenge than saving the day. It’s a clever idea.

It could have been filmed in a regular movie camera. The found-footage style is pretty unnecessary. The film doesn’t need that to look credible. Also, there are too many random cameras and angles which is kind of awkward. Though, the shot was pretty good. But it’s still unnecessary. The CGI works better in large objects. It looks dated when comes to the small ones like the spider and the legos. Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, and Michael B. Jordan are all fun together. It gets better in the third act. Dane DeHaan gives a great rage to Andrew. The climax is awesomely fun.

Chronicle may be short and small but it feels long and bigger. If only the film was shot in a regular style. But it still makes a great movie. The concept is great. It’s fun, intense, and compelling enough to enjoy it in the big screen.

Love this movie so much!
Alex Trank and Max Landis created a dark telekinesis captivating film! I originally saw in the theater that was so much fun, back then I wasn’t reviewing. I absolutely love Dane Dehaan he’s perfect in this; his characters transformation is thrilling to see. It’s bizarre to see Micheal Kelly as a drunk he’s usually the stable business character or in Dawn of the Dead he was a mean security guard so I guess he’s good at that type of character. The cinematography in Chronicle is stylish and well done too.
