A Well Rounded Musical Education Includes Theory
Within the musical community, there is a debate about the value of music theory that will probably never ends. Is it important to study music theory scales, or is it much better to just dive into the music and experience it viscerally. The proponents of learning the theory regarded it as an essential part of knowing how to play music. You can learn by trial and error, they say, but you would do much better to benefit from the knowledge of other people. Not learning music theory when you play music is like refusing to learn arithmetic when you are studying math.
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. -- (C) Official Site

Chronicle is the kind of movie that makes one excited about the future prospects of the man at the helm.

Without the found-footage distraction, Chronicle is an entertaining and creative take on the concept of teenage superpowers.

Although it dog-legs into silly mayhem in the homestretch, for a good portion of its quick 83-minute running time Chronicle is a quite clever boys-gone-wild-on-telekinetic-powers fantasy.

Chronicle puts a fresh, invigorating spin on the superhero origin story, a tale Hollywood spins again and again (and again).

Based on Chronicle, it's clear that Trank has the right stuff to move up to big-budget fantasy movies. If he wants to, that is. In a lot of ways, he has already beaten the studios at their game.

As a surprise entry in the mid-winter movie doldrums, "Chronicle" is a modest charmer.
Joe Neumaier / New York Daily News

"Chronicle" is an energetic hodgepodge that tweaks familiar conventions just enough to seem fresh. Forget the X-Men - these are iHeroes.

Once again, the conceit collapses along with the movie, and all that's left is third-act mayhem.
Peter Howell / Toronto Star
Feb 03, 2012
As yet another found-footage film, Chronicle makes a good argument against further use of this tired conceit.
Kyle Smith / New York Post

With great power comes the responsibility to make a decent movie, but the mysterious force running through "Chronicle" is the power to supersuck.
Mark Jenkins / Washington Post

A pretty good idea for a sci-fi thriller is undermined by hastiness - and by the pretense that it was mostly shot by one of its protagonists.
Claudia Puig / USA Today

It's a testament to Trank's capable direction that the movie feels so grounded in reality. There is no sense of the magical in the goings-on, even though what the boys are doing defies logic and gravity.

[It] deconstructs the conventional superhero narrative and reassembles it as a canny discourse on impulse control and the troubled teen psyche.

Mr. Russell and Mr. Jordan are as likable as their characters, but it's Mr. DeHaan who pulls you uneasily in.

"Chronicle'' will never be mistaken for an artistic breakthrough, but it has a solid gimmick and pieces of it are brilliant.
Peter Travers / Rolling Stone

The potent and provocative journey in Chronicle never stops springing surprises. You'll be hooked.
Betsy Sharkey / Los Angeles Times

This mind-and-fork-bending sci-fi saga comes from the freaky imaginations of director Josh Trank and screenwriter Max Landis, who've packed their feature debut with smartness.
Steven Rea / Philadelphia Inquirer

This is how the young Clark Kent must have felt. If Clark Kent had been on Facebook.
John Anderson / Newsday
Feb 02, 2012
This very promising feature debut by director Josh Trank turns into one smart thriller, a parable of unchecked power, and an action film in which the action -- although seen through a viewfinder -- carries the viewer away.
Richard Corliss / TIME Magazine
Feb 02, 2012
The simultaneously diverting and annoying Chronicle, directed by Josh Trask, is something like the 184th Found-Footage Faux-Doc horror movie of the past few years.
