While I don’t share your enthusias...Thanks, Dan O!<br /><br />While I don’t share your enthusiasm for the “single video camera” format, it did indeed help the filmmakers get inside the head of the characters. I still maintain that a conventional multi-camera/edited format would have driven home the dramatic impact of these characters even better.<br /><br />The early scenes where the telekinetic trio are first learning about their abilities are the most fun and certainly the most engaging part of the Chronicle. The film takes a dark turn in the final third of the film and all the fun disappears from there on. Still, the final battle sequence is one of the best of this type on film and an incredible technical accomplishment, particularly considering the lower budget of Chronicle.Fritz "Doc" Freakensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209589620766485745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797284234078302183.post-42937178388707682442012-06-25T03:05:20.184-04:002012-06-25T03:05:20.184-04:00Good review Fritz. There isn’t much new or differe...Good review Fritz. There isn’t much new or different this film is doing or saying but the format works perfectly and gets us inside the heads of these characters through all of the fun and not-so fun moments as well.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
