Another crazy movie. Chronicle is a fairly recent movie (2012) about a group of angsty teenagers who acquire telekinesis after stumbling upon a mysterious glowing rock underground. Some of them abuse their powers and things eventually get out of hand leading to some pretty bizarre results.
I'm still not quite sure what type of genre this was. Drama/action I guess? Sort of like a super hero movie, without the super hero. There wasn't much music in the movie, but there were a lot of crazy sound effects that were used pretty well and really helped add to the atmosphere. There were three main characters that were all pretty much douchebags, especially the "main" one.
The special effects were pretty cool, even if it was pretty obvious that they were special effects. I thought that the scenes where they flew around the sky were especially entertaining to watch. The plot... pretty good. Decent pacing, plenty of drama, kept you entertained. So yeah, I liked it. A little weird though. I give Chronicle a 7/10.
Haven't seen it yet.
ReplyDeleteOhhh I totally forgot about this movie but I remember I wanted to see it. Thanks for the spoiler free review, I'll have to check it out... 7/10 is a pretty good score.
ReplyDeleteI have already watched Chronicle. the story line is good but the cinematography is so poor. well perhaps, thats the reason why it was titled as such because it was a chronicle of an amateur(ist) cameraman.

ReplyDeleteSaw it recently, agree with your review I do.
ReplyDeleteI am inspired to quote Tenacious D. "The power to kill a yak from 200 yards away... with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle." It's a shame when people use their power of telekinesis for all the wrong reasons. A damn dirty shame...
