I didn't see a thread for this film posted here suprisingly, so I'm going to make it here. I think it's worth talking about with all the positive buzz it's generated since it's release. I'm sure you folks have heard of this film and a good amount of you may have even saw it since it came out a few days ago. I saw it yesterday. First and foremost it's a different film in the most obvious sense in how it's filmed. Similar to Cloverfield with the use of handheld cameras (except better executed in this movie) and not really a soundtrack. It's kind of bold in some aspects. The main director and writer are very young and it falls into a filming style that hasn't been explored that much because it's rather new.
Regardless of how ambitious it is, it's a great movie. The premise is quite simple and it's not too long for a movie. It's really a breath of fresh air and I suggest anyone that has time to check it out.
Here is a simple plot description and a trailer that follows for those who aren't familiar with Chronicle at all:

For those of you that saw the movie:
Spoiler for My take from the film.:
For those that did see the movie I also suggest watching this interpretation from a video blogger on YouTube who reviews a good amount of movies (most of them Superhero based) and really has a good anaysis. Although this is a short, non-revealing review of the movie as he usually waits a couple of years to do in-depth analysis of films. Still, a nice viewing.
