Chronicle vs. Blade Runner

Chronicle was an absolute headrush of a film, and in my opinion, one of the most underrated films of 2012. That being said, it has its issues, particularly from a screenplay/director's standpoint i.e. I don't approve of some of the choices made, such as using found-footage as a tool to generate social awkwardness (even nerds don't do that). Blade Runner may not be quite as invigorating a film, but it's certainly the more thought-provoking, beautiful and powerful in its own right. Blade Runner wins.
