DVD Reviews of Kronos
DVD Review: Old-time sci fi Kronos on DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this movie DVD because (a) it was cheap, and (b) I am a nut for science fiction, even if it isn't Roddenberry. The seller and the DVD producer did a fine job. But Jeff Morrow is on the Olympic team for bad acting, and the writers should have been sacked before they did such damage. I rate the DVD-maker and the seller A+A+A+, but the movie itself one star. DVD Review: Crazy Crazy Crazy
Summary: 3 Stars
If you want a movie with a lot of cool special effects, this is NOT the movie for you. However, if you appreciate classic Sci Fi, and a decent story line, I recommend. I am biased because I like all of them, no matter how cheezy or bad. This movie does have several laughable scenes, when the "robot" starts "walking" around... You will chuckle too, I think. My overall rating...
Fairly Bad but worth a look.
DVD Review: Movie trivia
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember watching this movie back in the 60's. I am not sure if a lot of you realize this but when you watch the movie The Incredibles, where Mr. Incredible finds the super hero Glazer in the underwater cave and on the wall is the name carved KRONOS and later on the family fights this black box of metal. It's ironic but that is to close to call a coincidence. I think someone from Disney or Pixar saw the orginial KRONOS, what do you think? Think they knew this and had permission to use the name? Still Kronos was a great SciFi movie!DVD Review: Kronos

Scenery was fake looking but one has to consider the technology back in the 50's. It did remind me of my younger days watching science fiction and I enjoyed that.DVD Review: sci fi movie
Summary: 3 Stars
It's a good sci-fi movie. Not the best but, decent. Campy would be a good word. It was fun to see a battery going around and soaking up energy. Be nice if we had one.
Description of Kronos
Scientists at a "Top Secret" atomic research laboratory are taken over by strange fantastic control devices launched from an orbiting space ship inhabited by a hostile super-intelligence from beyond the stars. Simultaneously, a gigantic flying saucer crashes in the Gulf of Mexico and Kronos, a giant metallic monolith monster, emerges. Unstoppable, it slashes across the countryside, draining the earth of all it's electrical energy and beaming it into space. Kronos, a weapon so perfect in design it absorbs a direct hit by a Hydrogen bomb and becomes that much more powerful! Atomic age excitement! Atomic age thrills! All in out-of-this-world "Regalscope" format for the first time on DVD.Astronomer and all-around scientific hero Jeff Morrow (he of the stone face, Cro-Magnon brow, and heavy voice of dire intonation) discovers a new celestial body that suddenly changes course and slams into the Pacific Ocean off the Mexican coast. Meanwhile a mysterious white light takes over the body of lab director John Emery, who becomes the eyes and ears of the UFO when it emerges days later as a skyscraper-sized robot. Morrow and his crew--including his beauty-with-brains girlfriend, Barbara Lawrence; wisecracking sidekick, George O'Hanlan; and computer, SUSIE, which whirs and blinks but offers little real help--leap to the rescue, but not before the Mexican air force takes on the giant in a scene reminiscent of King Kong. Director Kurt Neumann, best known for the original The Fly, gives this low-budget sci-fi thriller an impressive scope, sending the striking, austerely designed giant robot (a walking battery with piledriver legs) marching across a B&W widescreen frame like a relentless tank and punctuating the drama with an impressively chilling A-bomb blast. Though hardly a classic, this is one of the more interesting alien invasion movies of the paranoid 1950s. --Sean Axmaker
