Entertainment Reviews:
[T]here’s an offhand magic to the way home video can handle big special effects, making CHRONICLE seem less like a movie than like the fantastical abruptly, artlessly colliding with the real world. -- Grade: B+
A.V. Club
As pulp sci-fi this Fox release is pretty good, but it's also commendable for its sensitive depiction of adolescent behavior.

Trank's debut feature treats the audience to a deluge of teen angst, power trips, comradeship and rivalry yielding an insightful look into the unstable machine driving humans' wills and desires.

[Chronicle]'s approach delivers a fresh take on superhero genre and its attitude should appeal to its YouTube generation target audience.

Rating: 2/4 --
The format seems like more of a hindrance, a pointless gimmick that ultimately leads nowhere.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
Rating: 2/5 --
For all its good will and early invention, it sadly peters out into a messy, cross-city fight scene and overly-sentimental finale.

CHRONICLE fits into the growing genre of 'found footage' films, though that becomes just one formal element of many director Josh Trank meshes together to put a new spin on the subject of teenage alienation and its more extreme social side effects.

Product Description:
A loner (Dane DeHaan) escapes his abusive home life and discovers a mysterious crater that gives him and two fellow high school students psychokinetic powers in this found-footage-style superhero film from director Josh Trank and screenwriter Max Landis. DeHaan plays Andrew, a angsty teen whose mother is dying and whose father takes out his violent frustrations out on the boy. As a result, Andrew starts filming everything around him, including the dreadful night that he, his cousin Matt (Alex Russell) and the soon-to-be senior class president, Steve (Michael B. Jordan), wake up with superpowers after exploring a condemned piece of land housing an unexplained power source. The three bond over their newfound abilities, with Andrew clearly leading the pack in terms of control and strength. Despite their noble intentions, a darker streak appears in one of them as the other two try to take control over a situation that soon spirals into homicidal madness -- all of which is captured on camera.
