Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is an excellent movie, that brings a sense of real first person point of view to the story of three friends and a incident that will change them forever. A fresh young cast, and co-starring Micheal B. Jordan (Fantastic Four/Creed). Truly a unique film that has developed a cult following.

This movie was insane with super powers. I watched it a few times.

This movie had compelling characters. The story was original and kept you enticed.

I actually bought this movie on a whim since it was on sale for $5. I did not have too high an expectation for the movie but it looked really interesting while I was browsing the Blu-Ray section. After watching it with my wife, I thought this movie was one of the better filmed first-person movies right now, seriously! I loved how this movie surprised us with plausible plot and great acting...I don't want to talk too much about the plot since I don't want to reveal too much information for potential movie watchers. Anyway, pick up this movie if you love surprises!!

This is one of my favorite movies I would recommend it to anybody

This is a solid watch and a different kinda of super hero movie.

So what would three teenagers do if they actually gained super powers? This movie raises so many questions and that's what makes it good. All the mystery behind how they gain their powers and why just leaves you wanting more. The acting is diverse in characterization, the direction has elements of a classic super hero movie and the visual concept for this film only adds to the realism. I like this movie and I hope there's a sequel.

While I am infinitely sick of "found footage" films, this one seem to really work well. What works best is the fact that they slowly wean you off of hand-held camera work until you end up watching, more-or-less, a conventional film - thank God! In short, the move blends science fiction with super hero and horror themes, to create a unique film exploring the age-old notion that, "Power corrupts and absolute power, corrupts - absolutely!"

Good movie with quality acting by Michael B Jordan and Dane DeHaan. Dane was perfect as Andrew who was physically and mentally abused which led to his tragic decision-making with his new found powers. Was not annoyed by the found-footage format and usually I am, but it was well written. Good movie, but would have liked some history of the object that gave the young men their powers.

Best Buy sent me a bonus $5 credit that had to be used within a couple days, and so I found this in the $5 bin. I've liked this movie's realistic approach ever since it came out, but the extras aren't so great that ever I considered buying it before. There's very few extra scenes in the directors cut, but nothing major, and no director's commentary..

I generally hate "found footage" films, but this one actually seems to work because they slowly ease you into a more standard film style without you really noticing it. The film blends Sci-Fi, Action, Suspense, and Superhero genres, effectively. The movies primary theme is, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely".

I really enjoyed this movie. It deals with a subject that many of us have dreamed about. What would happen if you developed super powers. What would you become? Would you be a hero or would your ambition push you to an untapped darker side. Great acting from the young cast. Entertaining.

Wanted to watch this movie when it was in theaters but never got the chance. Got the Blueray/DVD/Digital version and was not disappointed. Interesting plot and good acting. Takes a dark turn but overall an interesting story. Makes you wonder what you would do if you were in the characters' situation and had their abilities.

Chronicle reminds me of the classic anime film Akira. It follows a group of friends that uncover a strange crater. This leads to the discovery of new strength, and telekinetic abilities. Of course things quickly go from fun to dangerous when the group starts to use their powers for their own purposes.

I really liked this movie because Dane Dehaan is one of my favourite actors and he did an amazing job with this film. I especially liked the fact that the BluRay contained an alternate version of the film in addition to the theatrical version. This is a great movie for people who like action/adventure films. The whole movie is shot to look like it was filmed on a home video camera, kind of like how Cloverfield was filmed. But the picture quality is excellent and the film is really compelling and fun to watch.

Interesting story about these teenagers gainings these powers of the mind and then trying to cope with all of their power. Goes from and adolescent start in pranks to a menacing tone with some tragic consequences. Fun movie and made you think a bit about your own "What if?"

Chronicle plays out like a super hero origins story meets a story about a bullied kid who takes revenge, only now he has super powers, All told from a found footage perspective. It's a great mash up of genres. Good Acting, good story, and good direction.

Probably one of the most original ideas for a "superhero origin" movie that there's been in quite a while. Combining found footage and this type and having multiple phneomenal young actors. Great movie, great ideas, great acting

Director Josh Trank creates a great super hero movie here, without falling into the genre layout that so many movies stick to. Just like "Unbreakable", Chronicle shows how super heroes and villains become who they are.

This film has taken found footage to a whole new level, but having the actors use their powers of telekinesis to control the camera we get a more dynamic, self shot looking movie then we have ever been able to see so far!
