Chronicle
Three high school students make an incredible discovery, leading to their developing uncanny powers beyond their understanding. As they learn to control their abilities and use them to their advantage, their lives start to spin out of control, and their darker sides begin to take over.
Critics Sentiment
Steve discovers the trio can fly through the air
Andrew's robbery attempt leads to hospitalization and Karen's death
The film peaks during the exhilarating flying sequences but drops significantly when Andrew's motivations become less convincing during his criminal turn.
Chronicle starts strong with an intriguing premise and impressive execution of teenagers gaining superpowers, reaching its peak during the flying sequences that reviewers universally praised. The film maintains solid momentum through Andrew's tragic transformation, though some critics found his philosophical justifications less compelling. Despite budget limitations in the climax, the overall arc from discovery to destruction earned consistent praise for its fresh take on the superhero origin story.
