DIY Mag - 9/10
What a remarkable film to emerge virtually out of nowhere in 2012. In a genre that has been over-saturated (the found-footage trick) and coming off the back of a film that has destroyed all good will that cinemagoers have for it (thanks, The Devil Inside), Chronicle is a triumph of verve and ambition.

Total Fim - 8/10
Serving up an explosive genre cocktail, the young filmmakers deliver a fresh, unconventional take on several well-worn concepts that gives their audience a lot to process.

What Culture - 3.5/5
Chronicle is edgy, intelligent sci-fi, and as is uncommon for the sub-genre, has a strong regard for its characters.

Empire Magazine - 4/5
A stunning superhero/sci-fi that has appeared out of nowhere to demand your immediate attention.

Beautiful thing about Chronicle is that it is the superhero origin story we have become so very familiar with -- over the course of 80 years of comic book mutants and 40 years of superhero flicks -- in its purest form, stripped of all the pulp and all the camp that has accreted around the genre.
I'm now psyched. Definitely going to see this on Friday
I remember someone posting the trailer here, and I also remember liking it a lot. I had completely forgotten about this, I'm glad it is getting great raviews. Makes me more excited
While Chronicle is a fast-paced, well-made film, and certainly one of my faves in the found footage flotsam and jetsam, it's a dramatic sci-fi thriller straight up.

Yeah, I remember someone posted it a couple months back.
