Review of Chronicle (2012) by Sebastian O — 07 Sep 2014

I was expecting to really enjoy this film. By 40 minutes into it, I just wanted it to end - and it's a surprisingly short film based on how long it actually felt. It started off kind of funny, with these kids and their superpowers, but little by little, it all just became far too repetitive.

It was basically a montage video, where the protagonist begins pathetic, and ends completely prone to loathing. I hated the protagonist. The climax lasted forever, and it didn't really show anything new.

All in all, some good acting work, especially from Jordan, but the film failed to do the minimum: keep me entertained.
