Summary
Whilst attending a party, three high school friends gain superpowers after making an incredible discovery underground. Soon, though, they find their lives spinning out of control and their bond tested as they embrace their darker sides.
What I liked
- the 1st and 3rd acts are really well done. A different take on a “superhero” and “villain” origin story.
- the end fight scene is awesomely choreographed and thrilling. I would put it on par with some of today’s better superhero action sequences. The fight felt more personal as the audience had gotten to know and feel for the characters.
- the characters are kept grounded in reality, which is a nice change of pace
What I didn’t like
- the 2nd act drags. Too much time is given to the whole explore their new powers and becomes tiresome.
- could have done without the found footage method of filming.
Last Word
Chronicle is a movie that has a great build up and ends thrilling but the middle portion becomes a bit repetitive.
My Rating
