Chronicle is the kind of movie that makes one excited about the future prospects of the man at the helm.
February 03, 2012
Without the found-footage distraction, Chronicle is an entertaining and creative take on the concept of teenage superpowers.

As pulp sci-fi this Fox release is pretty good, but it's also commendable for its sensitive depiction of adolescent behavior.
February 03, 2012
Although it dog-legs into silly mayhem in the homestretch, for a good portion of its quick 83-minute running time Chronicle is a quite clever boys-gone-wild-on-telekinetic-powers fantasy.

Superpowers mightn't be for everybody - especially angry, disaffected teenagers.
February 15, 2013
The visual effects in Chronicle are astounding, but it's the well-drawn characters and convincing performances that keep it so wildly entertaining.

A found-footage film, like 'Blair Witch,' combined with 'Bowling for Columbine.' Instead of witches and guns, it's a teen outcast with supernormal abilities; like 'Carrie' with shaky-cam and cool CG.

Chronicle is a sometimes fun, slightly dark film about a boy and his camera.
February 07, 2012
"Chronicle" is a mildly experimental commercial film, and, for the most part, it's loose-limbed fun.
February 03, 2012
Chronicle puts a fresh, invigorating spin on the superhero origin story, a tale Hollywood spins again and again (and again).
