Review of Chronicle (2012) by Xborn74 — 01 May 2012

"Chronicle" (2012) tells the story of a adolescent, Andrew, who is.

Socially excluded at school, besides being an introvert personalty, and.

Serious problems at home with the aggressive alcoholic father and his.

Mother, who is dying of terminal cancer.

He still enjoys the company of his cousin, Alex, and at a party, he and.

Another friend, Michell, find in a nearby cave a meteorite that give.

Them powers of telekinesis, which are discovered little by little ...

Initially the jokes with the use of these powers were funny, but they.

Begin to take another course, and the situations of Andrew's life.

Ultimately influence his control (and uses) over these powers.

The film has a very good visual, with convincing effects, extremely.

Well made that does not transpire much use of CG. Also just taking a.

Different approach, because Andrew, early in the film uses a hand-held.

Camera to film the assaults of his father, and the camera ends up being.

The main perspective by which the film is shown, until the final half.

Hour.

The performances are very good, particularly Dane DeHaan (Andrew) that.

Clearly shows the psychological chaos in his life and that culminates.

With the final events shown in the end.

The audio of the movie is nice, with effects and music very good and.

Appropriate to the film.

There are some comparisons to Akira, and yes, it resembles it - but.

What that involves psychic powers that does not refer to the Manga or.

Carrie's, somehow?

Anyway, the movie ends up having a very good approach to what the.

Conditions of life a person could do with their mind, and what would.

Happen if by chance, this person had powers - of course, in a common.

Sense much in the film ends up being driven to a adolescent target.

Public, but even so, the focus is very good, and it is enjoyable for.

Older people.

A great choice for a science fiction - drama movie, with a different.

Theme to what we are accustomed.
