Chronicle (2012)

The chronicles of 3 friends that develop super hero like powers.

I wasn’t expecting the entire movie to be shot in the jerky-annoying-handycam Blair Witch Project style. As the movie progresses, it becomes less annoying, and the cinematography starts to show a little more professionalism. Not a lot, but some. The first part of the movie comes across very low budget and poorly done. But we later discover that the special effects are not scrimped on, but rather well done.

The quality of the initial part of the movie is quite bad, so you have to stick it out and wait for it to improve. If you appreciate this type of movie, ride out the crappy first 15 minutes or so, and you may just end up enjoying it.

One of the nice things about this flic is that it isn’t the traditional Hollywood cookie-cutter crap. It’s basically a cast of no-bodies, but they are pretty decent actors in the end.

8/10
