    My brother went to see it yesterday,and he loved it and said it was just super amazing.
    It is my brother though,and he thinks all movies are amazing.
    So meh.

    But the story sounds interesting,and from what I have seen on ads etc it looks good enough.
    I shall definitely try and see it sometime soon,after my awful exams me thinks.

    I haven't seen it yet but maybe next weekend with "The Woman In Black" before I watch it.
    I've heard some good things about it and that it gets predictable at the 2nd half.

    Just came back from seeing it today.

    One of my favorite found footage films yet. It's not your typical found-footage horror movie; they used some of the usual tropes, but very little. It does begin a little slow, but once they obtain their powers, it really starts to pick up. To me, I felt the most sympathy for Andrew; it was good to show what his life was like in order to completely understand why he did what he did. The part that really surprised me was when
    Steve died. It came from completely out of nowhere and really shows how messed up Andrew is because of everything that's happened to him.
    It was also very sad when they reveal that
    his mother died when his dad was looking for him. It was very heart breaking to have Andrew listen to his father blaming him for her death. Of course, knowing something that his dad didn't know made the entire scene very suspenseful! It's like the Pretty Woman scene in Sweeney Todd. Once his mother had died, who was basically his only real friend in his life, he gave into his hatred.
    It's a very tragic story.

    The ending. Oh God, the ending!
    First off, this is the best movie battle I have ever seen. The back and forth between the two of them was superb! And you could tell that Matt did not want to hurt Andrew at all. Throughout everything, knowing every bad thing Andrew had done, Matt still hadn't given up hope on him. The fact that he killed Andrew, even though he still cared about him, made the ending that much more powerful and tragic. I feel like it had to end that way though.

    I'm still shaking over watching it! It was so awesome!

    I've seen it as well.
    I don't know what to say...One part of me wants to praise it, the other...Hm...It wasn't one of the best movies ever to me, but it was actually better than I expected.

    I'm a big fan of found-footage films, first of all, and one thing they managed to do that's different than I've personally seen before is have mutiple cameras and perspectives. It was also really, really intense towards the last part, but I loved that the most. I mean...It was really emotional. At the end I was just...ffff. It's hard for my to explain without spoilers. They just did a very good job portraying the angst in it all. I genuinely cared about the main character.

    Chronicle was insanely good. The kind of movie that makes you think about the bad guys if superhero movies, as well as yourself. Quite a bit about yourself.

    I wish there had been a little more closure regarding what the source of The Force really was/ but it kind of seemed open to a sequel regarding that...hope it happens! Plus in the end that wasn't what the film was really about.

    I related to the main character a bit more than I'd like to admit...>________>

    I saw it yesterday and I got to admit it was one of the better movies I have seen in a long time. I really like how instead of switching between one or maybe two cameras they use multiple cameras owned by different people, something I think more foundfootage films should use.

    Without going into spoilers I will say the plot of the film was excellent and I'm willing to go as far as saying that it is my all time favorite movies ever. So check it out.
